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.

Digital humanities is a rapidly developing field. Here, it is illustrated through a computer analysis of the evolution of ideas expressed in a philosophy journal from its 1974 inception. To do this, we selected the journal Philosophiques, published by the Société de philosophie du Québec. The articles of this journal had never been the object of an in-depth study.The detailed examination proceeds in three stages. Since studies on the recent evolution of ideas in Quebec philosophy are rare, we first recall some preceding research results obtained by the traditional means of philosophy (Simard 1998). The articles of the journal are then subjected to a double computational treatment, the first one being of a more deductive style, the other one more inductive. Finally, the results of this double analysis are compared with the one realized in 1998, conducted on a corpus composed mainly of philosophy books. The results obtained are clear : a computer-aided analysis complements accurately the results of more traditional research. We conclude with some future perspectives on the digital humanities applied in the philosophical realm.

As a leading scientific publication, the Revue d'histoire de l'Amérique française is a telling indicator of the evolution of the historical discipline. Extending the previous assessments of Harvey & Linteau (1972) and Coupal (1983), this article analyzes the Revue's production between 1982 and 2018. An examination of the 501 published articles and the 423 authors reveals a smooth transition from social history and cultural history, as well as an increased presence of women among collaborators. Contemporary Quebec undoubtedly remains the privileged field of investigation for researchers. Finally, the tenuous place of the Indigenous people's history certainly represents the most challenging finding of this study.

Paris, January 7th 2015. By late morning, the Kouachi brothers, Saïd and Chérif, launch an attack against the redaction team of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo. Hooded, dressed in black and armed with Kalashnikovs, they decimate the redaction team, causing twelve deaths including eight journalists. This paper aims to study how Renald Luzier («Luz»), press illustrator at Charlie Hebdo, makes peace with death through the graphic novel Catharsis (2015). In other words, how do graphic novels manage to provide meaning to a traumatic experience? How do they participate, with a graphic experience, in making bonds between an unspeakable recent past, an aching present and a possible future? Can they be a way toward (re)construction of self? So many questions that build the essence of this paper, in which graphic novel are not seen as an illustration of a mourning process, but in their symbolic, imaginary and anthropological potentialities, where an illustrator, Luz, experience the death of others in his own life.
Keywords: anthropologie, bande dessinée, catharsis, deuil, mort, trauma, Anthropology, Graphic novel, Catharsis, Mourning, Death, Trauma

In her article, Annaëlle Winand introduces us to the use of archives by artists for experimental purposes in films and videos. With an overview of current literature on the subject, she seeks to identify the preoccupations of these researchers. What are artists' interests in archives ? What issues are related to the mingling of cinema and archives ? First, the author brings into question the definition of what is meant by ‘archive'. She reviews a structure of analysis that is common to the literature on the subject : temporality, historicity, and memory – all three common to both archives and cinema. Finally, she promotes collaboration among artists, archivists, and researchers, as a way of coming at a deeper understanding of archives, but also the problems their use presents, including preservation, conservation, and access, especially in the digital era.The use of archives in films by artists for experimental purposes is especially interesting because they see the documents outside their context and in a new light.
