The execution, the presence or the use of public works, without fault, may cause injuries to an individual. The present study defines the right of an individual to compensation for such injuries by the Administration. In order to apprehend the relevant Québec law, one must first examine the British, Canadian and French laws on the matter. The public law which governs administrative action and the private law of the victim's property right meet at this point. The fact that, in this matter, the legislators and the courts both flirted with the law of expropriation contributes to the confusion of the jurisdiction (administrative or judicial) and of the substantive rights (statutory compensation or private law action). Equity, without being a source of obligation in Québec law, nevertheless, masterminds certain judgments of our courts.

“Avant-garde times. Maybe the only exciting form of life, because of its intimate connection with writing”: this is how Chloé Delaume, in Où le sang nous appelle (2014), remembers her initial enthusiasm for some experiences of poetic and politic activism, even though she later took stock of them in a severely critical way. This quotation epitomizes Chloé Delaume’s ambivalent relationship with the avant-gardist tradition, especially with the situationist legacy. In the light of Delaume’s works, from Le Cri du sablier to Les Sorcières de la République, this paper will try to show how the avant-garde concept with its historical, sociological and pragmatic aspects, however obsolete it may seem, allows to overcome this contradiction and to better position Chloé Delaume in the contemporary literary field.
Keywords: avant-garde, performativité, Chloé Delaume, Peter Bürger

In the introductory remarks of this article the authors examine the birth of the newly industrialized countries and the emergence of a new international division of labor. After stressing the two modes of the industrial strategy followed by these countries, the authors look at two newly industrialized countries (Brazil and South Korea). These specific countries due to the interplay of both, objective factors (natural resources, location, manpower...) and policy choices have followed divergent development strategies. The authors conclude that it is not so much the classical policy dilemma import substitution vs expert promotion that will determine the future of these semi-industrialized countries, than their ability to master the technological know-how that sustains their industrial development. The new technological trends in robotics and telematics constitute powerful factors of relocation which may threaten the long run growth prospects of the semi-industrialized countries.

The famous ‘author function' of Michel Foucault (1969) has settled the question for at least one generation. It meets with the process of modernity: always correlated to his or her work, the author is indissociable from the order of discourse and of the manner this function develops throughout history. Still, the stakes involved remain open to discussion and deserve to be taken up again in the light of more recent perspectives. Hence, this article proposes to reread the author function, beyond the textualist positions, within the general framework of a critique of culture, by highlighting the dialectic between control and liberation that animates it, as well as the epistemological and ethical choices that intermingle within.
