AbstractThe acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a world wide health problem of exceptional magnitude with considerable effect in many areas : individual, social, economic, demographic and cultural. Current literature clearly indicates the emotional impact of the losses occasionnée by those suffering from this fatal disease. There include strong anxiety, fear, anger powerlessness and hopelessness. To this psychological distress is added isolation of AIDS victims. The negative reaction of society contributes to discrimination and stigmatization of these victims. AIDS may be seen as a personnal tragedy which often spells the collapse of family life. The psychosocial repercussions of this disease require intervention and further research with respect to the many unresolved problems generated by this syndrome.

In a context of the growth of the intangible economy, we see paradoxically the development of physical places promoting the cooperation of companies and workers. This includes third-places, coworking spaces, fab labs and physical spaces for the mutualization of infrastructures and services for the benefit of companies. Their creation is prompted by territorial collectivities seeking a renewal of their development policy and by clusters of companies. Our study is based on nine monographs of projects located in France and characterized by the implementation of a service offering (offices, access to infrastructure, computer equipment, common secretariat, spaces of conviviality) in a physical place for the benefit of companies and individuals.

This investigation of the relationship between the music of creation and spirituality is primarily a reflection set as a forum in seven voices, including remarks by the author. In the fall of 2010, seven musicians from different generations, practices and aesthetics agreed to answer by email the questions drawn up by Circuit's editorial board. The musicians were Sandeep Bhagwati, Frans Ben Callado, Julie-Anne Derome, Wolf Edwards, André Hamel, Nicolas-Alexandre Marcotte and Rodney Sharman. The questionnaire's lexical field, particularly polysemic (“spirituality”, “sacred”, “transcendence”, “absolute”), elicited a striking range of viewpoints. But certain constants stand out, notably the almost total absence of faith in the views held. Apparently, the practitioners of the music of creation, in tune with their times, defer to a “spirituality without God” as set forth in the philosophy of André Comte-Sponville.

This study began with a few questions : how to favour creativity? Are there tools capable of increasing the innovation process? Can information and communication sciences contribute to this process? After having explored scientific literature, we interrogated some engineers working in chemical and industrial engineering. Strangely, we found some similitudes between the methods used by engineers and the notions used by communicants. In particular, refocusing, as defined by members of an invisible college, seems to be a precious implement when researchers want to innovate in a technical sector, or in a management project. We shall try to demonstrate this thesis by analysing two famous researchers, specialised in innovation: Genrich Altshuller, who invented a method called TRIZ, and Edward de Bono, specialised in lateral thinking.

AbstractOver the last thirty years, transformations to planning practices in the public sector have been based on a critique of the rationalist paradigm, articulated through pragmatic and communicational streams. In the field of public health, a major debate on the place of citizens and communities has arisen from opening up planning practices to participation. In Quebec, three major actions attest to the headway that has been made. These actions also allow us to consider unexplored opportunities for participation as an instrument of democratisation and effectiveness in public planning.
