In this article, which takes the form of a practice-based documentation and reflective report, a duo of academics shares the outcomes of a ludopedagogical workshop conducted at the university level. This co-creation experience, rooted in the dialectic of research-creation, was carried out with second-year undergraduate students in Information and Communication over four consecutive years. It aimed to raise awareness of gender inequalities on social networks through the design and prototyping of a cooperative board game targeted at a 11 to 18-year-old audience. Mindful of integrating their respective disciplines—information and communication studies, and arts—the academics developed a learning unit that encompassed an understanding of gender issues, social inequalities, and the dynamics of digital networks. The objective was to equip students with the skills needed to analyze and engage with complex media systems. Relying on a multimodal media literacy (MML) framework tailored to the context, this ludopedagogy employed three main activities blending analog and digital approaches: mapping, prototyping, and board game design. These activities facilitated the development of transversal skills inherent to multimodality, using current events studied by the students as a foundation. At the same time, they provided an in-depth understanding of contemporary social and media-related issues in everyday practices.

This article provides a review of 104 academic articles on entrepreneurial passion published between 2009 and 2022 in leading entrepreneurship journals in both Francophone and Anglo-Saxon reviews. Additionally, it aims to offer theoretical insights into several questions that are rarely addressed from an integrative perspective: what is the essence of the concept of “entrepreneurial passion”? What are we talking about when we talk about entrepreneurial passion? What are entrepreneurs passionate about? Why are some individuals more passionate about entrepreneurship than others? What are the positive and negative consequences of entrepreneurial passion? Furthermore, in addition to identifying current research trends on entrepreneurial passion, this article also suggests future research avenues that will contribute to enhancing understanding of this concept.

This article delves into the nexus of Montreal's cluster of artificial intelligence (AI) startups in order to ascertain how its entrepreneurs craft their discourse and shape their vision of the technological future. The fascination with AI's prowess, to be explored in detail in this article, is in many ways reminiscent of William Gibson's famous quote that “the future is already here—it's just not evenly distributed.” I use the concept of a “sociotechnical imaginary” to describe how this community manages to capitalize on the potential of this technological future that is showing itself to be a veritable source of symbolic and economic wealth. This same entrepreneurial cluster has also been taking on a major role: that of embodying the messengers of humanity's technological destiny, at times even captivating attention with spectacular futuristic representations. I also discuss the phenomenon of “technological capital” to illustrate how this imaginary becomes part of the entrepreneur's professional identity, elevating him or her to the rank of prophet in society, conferring prestige and status. Visions of the future become ostentatious symbols of highly sophisticated technology, used to distinguish oneself and claim social superiority.
