In the continuity of an "immersive pedagogy" (Jenny, 2008), this study investigates the didactic interest of writing fake Facebook profiles, which may appear as variants of "character diary" (Larrivé, 2014), to engage in reading weak readers or even non-readers (Lemarchand-Thieurmel, 2014). Two observations stand out in particular. The first is the writing mechanism which enables engagement with reluctant readers who reject the work and initiates a personal reading of the literary work. However, the mechanism is not a goal in itself, but can be seen as a tool for the teacher to create a “research project” of the work through her classes readings.

The new Quebec publishers that emerged in the early 2000s present themselves in their discourse as having close ties with their authors, but also with other actors in the book chain, such as booksellers and printers. Without reducing this element to simple positioning, I would argue that the promotion of this outreach work, presented in the form of privileged interpersonal relationships, is a nodal point in the ethos of new publishers, who use it to set themselves apart from their elders, such as Boréal and Leméac. I will show how this “publication of proximity” can be seen in the discourse of “emerging” authors and publishers, particularly at Le Quartanier, Alto and Marchand de feuilles. Collaboration and proximity are at the foundation of the ethos of these publishing houses, these values being part of their collective image. Their camaraderie is embodied, for example, in pictures that show authors and their publishers participating in events or activities—whether literary or not. Beyond the expected couple of the publisher and the author, we also highlight the proximity of many people involved in the book chain: booksellers, graphic designers, distributors, etc. In short, new publishers seem to be polishing their image by relying on multiple close collaborations as well as on editorial structures on a human scale, which seems central to the positioning of emerging publishers.

For more than a decade, the increasing popularity of online research has prompted a rethinking or reconsideration of such notions as consent, privacy and confidentiality. This re-examination has been so extensive that the ethics of online research has emerged as a distinct field of study. In this article, I discuss how an ethnographic study of digital practices should adopt a contextual approach to ensure research in this field is conducted in an ethical manner. Such an approach implies that publicly-accessible online data are not de facto public, so it is imperative to recognize and heed the expectations and requirements of internet users. I tested this hypothesis in my ethnographic research of the online practices of two Facebook groups whose members share legal information. Based on my analysis of their online activity, which combines aspects of both the law and communications, I argue that a contextual approach also encompasses an understanding of the ethical considerations that are inherent to the disciplinary context and goal of a research project.

Digital resources have changed science. They allow for a general and open dissemination of research and encourage the shared construction of knowledge. But they have also changed the concept of research by accentuating the capture and tracking of data, often under doubtful epistemological and ethical conditions. More specifically, the use of influential projects by industry, supported by tracking in fields such as psychology, sociology and marketing, endanger the social architecture for the benefit of a few large platforms. How can a new democratic forum emerge in such a context? When considering that the Internet is more than a tool, constituting an ecosystem in which we all function, it follows that all human confrontation or cooperation are brought together and supported by new forms of regulation.

In this article, we propose to explain how the emotional functioning of web platforms affects teenagers’ relationship to web content through the emotions they can trigger and their individual readiness to receive them. We explore the gap between, on the one hand, the affects authorized and calculated by these platforms and, on the other hand, the emotions felt by individuals regarding the informational content that reaches them on these digital spaces. Our analysis relied on a threefold theoretical framework: the “digital labour” hypothesis, understood as putting Internet users to work; the “affective web” which stimulates this work by capturing attention and calculation of affects; and finally, the dimension of “panoptic surveillance” by making the images visible, which increases emotional tension. The emotional work of adolescents ultimately appears polysemic and difficult to interpret without the use of a plural analytical grid and a careful listening to individual experiences.

This paper considers the question of female authorship on the web through the ancient myth of Dibutades. Indeed it seems that Dibutades, as a founding figure of many artistic practices, can clarify how some bloggers assert their authorship online, playing a significant and leading role in the emergence and in the recognition of a digital literature (a literature designed and published online). The following analyzis intend to emphasize the aesthetic potential of some online writing practices often ignored by literary studies, such as Facebook profiles and erotic or pornographic blogs.

Research Framework: Over the past ten years or so in France, households headed by blue collars and employees have caught up on their delay in connecting to the Internet at home. Objectives: Has the integration of the Internet in these households been carried out in the same way as in households of executives and intermediate professions who equipped themselves earlier? Does it have the same meaning? What transformations does the arrival of the Internet bring about in the domestic context and in family dynamics?Methodology: This article is based on a semi-directive interview survey (N=41) of mothers working in the personal services sector and living outside large urban areas in France.Results: The survey shows a significant tension. On the one hand, the mothers we met are convinced that the Internet is a guarantee of better academic and professional success for their children, which generates a real "duty of connection" in the name of modernity and social conformity. On the other hand, they note that the tool is time-consuming and disrupts family life both in the couple's relationships and between parents and children. Without regulatory model coming from the previous generation, they tinker with daily tactics to limit the potential for individualization of tools by establishing a principle of transparency of practices and encouraging co-attending uses.Conclusions: The regulation of the Internet in this stable fraction of the working classes is a model that is being sought and remains based on trial and error and compromise. However, the priority given to family ties seems to be a major issue in arbitration: discourses continue to value the family "we" with great consistency, expressing, if not a reality, at least a strong aspiration. Contribution: This research highlights the specificities of family Internet regulation methods in the stable fractions of the working classes. It is also interested in couple's regulations, which are rarely studied in the existing literature.

This study sought to collect URLs (web addresses) of all K-12 schools in the United States (N = 98,477) and analyze website home page system and service data for all available U.S. institutional websites (n = 65,899). Building upon previous research related to Web 2.0 educational potentials, this first-of-its-kind study sought (a) to provide descriptive results of system and service adoption and website data for all schools in the United States and (b) to detect theorized differences based upon school demographics and service/system type (e.g., open source vs. proprietary). Results indicated that proprietary and purchased systems were much more common than free and open systems, that adoption patterns were generally not meaningfully influenced by demographic data (except for charter school status), and that K-12 institutional adoption of Web 2.0 seems to be more focused on educational uses of these tools that might not strictly be considered pedagogical (e.g., community outreach).
