This article seeks to estimate the relevance of the service economy applied to marine renewable energy projects. This study is based on stakeholder contributions in public debate in Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm project (France). We seek to analyze stakeholder perspectives through an application of a textual analysis on contributions (cahiers d'acteurs). Textual analysis reveals two main results, the first one turns to social and economic question with the impact on the territory, in particularly the employment and the training. The second issue concerns the energy efficiency of marine renewable technologies. For each of these issues, the discussion try to give a perspective regard to service economy theory and discuss about the relevance of service economy application in marine renewable energy sector.

Since the 1960s, pleasure-boating has experienced a significant development throughout the French coast. Although the harbor infrastructures are well studied, this is not the case of the recreational boater behaviors and distribution once on the water or on the nearby islands. This knowledge is, however, essential in order to improve and develop new integrated coastal planning strategies. This article presents the methodological framework of a recreational boating monitoring study conducted in the Arcachon Basin (France) between 2008 and 2009. The results further our understanding of this boating area that is based on different practice places.

Kim Thúy and Linda Lê are both of Vietnamese origin; one is Québécoise, the other French. While the two authors share the fact of having lived the unique experience of the boat people, there are great differences in the way each represents exile. In Ru, Kim Thúy presents immigration as a rebirth, the realization of the “American Dream”, while exile in the work of Linda Lê is an expression of irreparable loss. This article proposes to explore the various points of view on the experience of exile and integration found in the first book by Kim Thúy, who seems to have taken a position in favour of happiness, and in a few texts by Linda Lê, described by Nancy Huston as a “professor of despair” and by Simon Harel as a “nasty” writer. We will be looking at the ways in which the one's narrative is reassuring while the other's writing is disconcerting in its refusal to compromise or conform.
