Cette étude exploratoire vise à offrir une base d’informations entourant l’utilisation des médias sociaux dans le cadre d’une recherche participative en santé auprès des communautés Inuit du Nunavik. Des entrevues semi-structurées réalisées auprès d’une trentaine de Nunavimmiut (Inuit du Nunavik) et le contenu de six groupes et deux pages Facebook ont fait l’objet d’une analyse thématique pour mieux comprendre l’usage fait par les Nunavimmiut des médias sociaux, et déterminer les meilleures méthodes pour améliorer la communication dans le cadre d’une recherche participative. Les résultats démontrent que les médias sociaux, particulièrement Facebook, sont devenus des moyens de communication incontournables pour joindre et impliquer les populations dans un tel processus, mais qu’ils doivent s’inclure dans une stratégie globale intégrant les canaux de communication traditionnels. Il doit également …

Chaque année, le nombre d’utilisateurs des réseaux sociaux augmente à une très grande vitesse. Des milliers de comptes usagés incluant des données privées sont créés quotidiennement. Un nombre incalculable de données privées et d'informations sensibles sont ainsi lues et partagées par les différents comptes. Ceci met en péril la vie privée et la sécurité de beaucoup d’utilisateurs de ces réseaux sociaux. Il est donc crucial de sensibiliser ces utilisateurs aux dangers potentiels qui les guettent. Nous présentons Protect_U (Hélou, Gandouz et al. 2012), un système de protection de la vie privée des utilisateurs de Facebook. Protect_U analyse le contenu des profils des utilisateurs et les classes selon quatre niveaux de risque : Low risk, medium risk, risky and critical. Il propose ensuite des recommandations personnalisées …

This research sought to understand how groups and organizations that promote the deep green architectural concept of the earthship conceive sustainability in relation to housing. To conceptualize this question, this study used environmental discourse analysis, the ecological modernization concept and the sustainable transition theoretical framework. The analysis of websites, Facebook pages and documents produced by four organizations and one Facebook group both in Canada and the United-States showed that these groups convey an holistic perspective of sustainability in respect of permaculture principles. By promoting do-it-yourself strategies to build an off-the-grid housing project, they incite to break with what is perceived as unsustainable developmental pathways. Also rooted in the fear of a civilization collapse caused by climate change, the earthship is seen as a way to achieve a greater resilience both in terms of food and energy. Divergences have also been identified between organizations. While non-profits have a non-orthodox attitude towards the earthships design principles and mostly see it as a tool to achieve their mission, private business that have a commercial interest in the concept are more invested in its discursive framing. Using green marketing strategies, they notably overstate its performance and adaptability and downplay its limitations, a situation which could explain why the earthship is popular in inhospitable climates such as in Quebec. Finally, in light of the sustainable transition theoretical framework, the earthship articulates an holistic and radical discourse about sustainability that incites to break with unsustainable development pathways. Nevertheless, by being frequently presented as an alternative to the single family detached house, the earthship might conversely contribute to exacerbate urban sprawl.

This article profiles five organizations that have been advocating for equity in Quebec music since 2017 : MTL Women in Music, Femmes* en Musique, Lotus collective MTL Coop, shesaid.so MTL and D!G Différences et inégalités de genre dans la musique au Québec. In line with a long tradition of critical work in feminist historiography, the authors first account for the diversity of feminist mobilizations in Quebec music beyond the #metoo “waves” which have received significant media attention over the past five years (2017–2022). In the second part, the authors detail the development of the D!G network, a feminist collaborative research partnership launched in April 2021 by Vanessa Blais-Tremblay, and its contributions to both Quebec's music industry and to feminist partnership research epistemologies and methodologies.

Breast cancer, if it advances, is life threatening. It is also widespread. My life was changed when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. There was much that I did not expect, including a hegemonic culture of “breast conservation.” I opted to “go flat” after bilateral mastectomy, resisting reconstruction plastic surgery. A politics of choice—like that demanded for reproductive rights—has yet to find similar resonance in the world of breast cancer treatment. This article considers reconstruction hegemony and the emerging movement to advance the choice to be, in words coined by a pioneering Facebook group, Flat and Fabulous.

Keywords: Mastectomy, breast cancer, reconstruction discourse

In this study, it was aimed to examine the use of learning management systems supported by social networking sites in distance education and to determine the views of learners regarding these platforms. The study group of this study, which uses a qualitative research approach, consists of 15 undergraduate students who resumed their education in Turkey. The data were gathered via a semi-structured interview form which consists of open-ended questions. Content analysis was used in the analysis of the data. According to the results of the study, it has been revealed within the scope of the course that the students have positive attitudes towards the use of social networking sites and distance education applications and these applications have positively affected the quality of communication between instructors and students. Furthermore, it was seen that the students made comments relating to the interesting aspects of the applications and the difference between distance education and face-to-face learning.

In L'Ecole des Fans, Gérard Wormser questions the communicative dimensions of contemporary disruptions. The immense opportunities of trade and knowledge access contrast with the frustrations that are growing in human communities — which are more technical and unequal than ever before. Universal connectivity comes with abrupt breaks in traditional integration links. It abolishes public mediation in favour of a mixture of new possibilities and increasing isolation. Subjected to the pressures that prevail, as their fallout in the US or Brazil shows, the networks fuel fantasy regressions and fear of the Other. At the end of a journey describing the ways in which our networks associate the omnipotence of money with anthropological shocks, Gérard Wormser joins Simmel's intuitions, who had perceived this question more than a century ago.
