This article aims to understand the entrepreneurial path of social entrepreneurs, from their experience to the management of their social enterprise. Beyond the motivations and passions that animate them to create social value, we highlight the different competences needed to structure and manage their social enterprise. In order to meet the main objective of this study, an approach based on exploratory semi-directive interviews was adopted with ten social entrepreneurs in the Lyon region (France). The findings enabled us to discuss two key points: the nature of the tools mobilized in the management of the social enterprise, on one hand and the skills of the social entrepreneur to carry out his project, on the other hand.

Since the second half of the twentieth century, we have witnessed an incredible accumulation of attempts at an exhaustive representation of the world through a place, a time or a principle of some kind. This accumulation reflects the great symbolic power of such an artistic or literary endeavour. Such attempts at an exhaustive representation are not necessarily related to digital aesthetics, but they do take place in a screen culture, as opposed to a book culture, and they work with elements usually associated with databases and their systematic approach to description. The very idea of an attempt at an exhaustive representation of a place appeared, in 1974, when Georges Perec went to Place Saint-Sulpice in Paris and began to make a list of everything he saw, passers-by, birds, trucks, cars and buses, customers in cafes, temperature variations, the usual facts of daily life, and all the rest that could be noted. The book's title was, quite literally, An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris. Since then, systematic and exhaustive attempts at representation have become commonplace, defining even a new aesthetics, digital in its nature – an info-aesthetics, to use Lev Manovich's notion. These attempts do not limit themselves to spaces, but address such topics as time, situations, events, objects, body, data, etc. We can easily identify nine types of attempts at an exhaustive representation, which encompass the multiple forms of human action. In this chapter, I will start by defining what such attempts imply ; I'll continue by giving examples of the nine kinds identified ; and I will pay particular attention to attempts that try to exhaust a given place.

The Catalan tongue is a Roman language coming from the popular Latin previously spoken in the land of Roussillon and Catalonia. It is the day to day language of about 7 million people today, and it is the center of a very ancient and huge literature which first texts dated from the XIth century. An official language of Catalonia since 1716, Catalan has been forbidden by General Franco in 1939 and remained privately or secretly spoken until the democratic transition in Spain, when it came back to official use. For the last few years, the Catalan language has become the center of the Catalan nationalism, which could lead Catalonia to independence. Language, law and politics are tightly connected in this matter, even if the link between them is not easy to understand precisely.

With the rise of the Web in the mid-1990s, the role and use of traditional documents, such as the paper versions of books and periodicals, has been the subject of some discussion on the part of university librarians. In addition to discussions held at meetings and conferences, librarians and other stakeholders are also involved in the scanning of collections.This article focuses on the challenges associated with the transition from analogue to numeric versions and from the traditional to the virtual library in the universities of Québec since the end of the 1990s. The proceedings of conferences and seminars that focused on the dissemination and conservation of scanned documents helped identify some of the challenges associated with this type of collection in university libraries. With the help of a document prepared by the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ), the author summarizes the major scanning projects currently in progress.
