Knowledge transmission near the young adults in situation of handicap is part from now on of the managerial concerns of the companies. It holds an important place in the relations between the various generations of employees since the transmission became a major stake of integration. Its experimental methods (relation of assistance, accompaniment, guardianship, coaching, visit of site) are numerous and fall under a marked logic of professional insertion. Up to what point does the intergenerational transmission of the knowledge support the training of the young adults in situation of handicap confronted with differentiated cultures of training? Two competitor models of transmission can be highlighted and discussed at the glance of the professionalization of the referents which contribute to insertion in the youth employment handicapped.

Cet article démontre notamment les problèmes de l'enseignement supérieur en Corée et présente des solutions supplémentaires. La Corée montre un cas particulier où le gouvernement intervient activement dans la politique universitaire. Les universités ont fait une expansion quantitative au cours des 30 dernières années, mais la qualité de l'enseignement supérieur n'a pas du tout progressé. Le gouvernement a introduit un certain nombre de systèmes d'évaluation en fonction de la volonté du gouvernement et les a liés aux projets de soutien à l'université. En conséquence, les universités ont oublié leur identité, leur idéal d'éducation, leur but éducatif et leur objectif d'évaluation. L'université est standardisée et tout est évalué comme un critère quantitatif. En fin de compte, l'éducation supérieure, en particulier les cours et le cursus, s'effondrent tous les jours, et la qualité de l'éducation s'aggrave. Les projets de financement gouvernementaux devraient être axés sur l'éducation de base et l'éducation des arts libéraux. En réponse, les professeurs d'études de base et d'enseignement général devraient également réfléchir sur eux-mêmes. Pour cela, il est nécessaire de mettre en place un programme de perfectionnement des professeurs. En fin de compte, le Liberal Arts College devrait être créé.

During the First World War, several billion French letters and postcards were sent on both sides of the front. Politicians and the military headquarters quickly realized the determining influence of letters on the troops' morale. Communication analysis of the function of these written messages from this perspective seems relevant for at least four reasons: to describe the front as an ethnographic study of the war; to recount the horror of war as a therapeutic release; to study the letters as a means of circulating information between the front and the rear; and to capture these communication exchanges as organizational vectors between the front and the rear.

In a world marked by cultural transformations, writing systems are not spared from changes as well. In communication contexts mediated by Information and Communications Technology (ICT), in particular, there are observable transformations that affect not only so called phonographic (alphabetic) written systems but also logographic writing system (Chinese). These changes may lead one to think of a gradual hybridization of writing systems which could lead to profound transformations of the concept of writing as we understand it today. In this sense, we are interested in incorporating the point of view of contact between systems, for which we focus on the contact between alphabetic writings and Chinese writing. The observation of the changes that are occurring in both types of writing systems allows us to consider in a new way the tendencies of writing in general in the framework of the phenomenon that Walter Ong has called “the secondary orality.” In this context, because of multiculturalism and the progressive contact between writing systems, it is conceivable that the already visible hybridization will increase, even leading to a certain degree of convergence.

It is about proposing a history of theater semiotics, from the texts outlined by Eisenstein and the Russian formalists in the early twenties, who are advancing the future semiological study of the performing arts. This theater semiotics of the first generation will be followed by the structural analysis of the performance and, at the end of the century, the study of the reception of the spectacle. The incursion of digital technologies in the stage (virtual scenographies, actor-avatar: Avactor) means a new challenge for a theatrical semiotics of the fourth generation.

L'article se veut une réflexion sur la sémiotique des cultures gastronomiques contemporaines, visant en particulier leurs obsessions alimentaires, qu'on appelle de plus en plus des « gastromanies ». Véritable symptômes du malaise existentiel contemporain, elles se caractérisent pour un déplacement continuel du seuil de l'identité, de l'appartenance, et du plaisir. L'article en retrace la généalogie culturelle et les tendances communicationnelles à partir de celui qui fut peut-être le premier à les détecter et à les transmettre sous forme narrative, à savoir Joris-Karl Huysmans dans À rebours.

This article starts from the hypotesis that plates and food as any other texts, clothes, places and space, literature, etc. constitute concentrated significations of the culture to witch they belong. Soupe refers to a frensh plate while harira refers to a Moroccan one. Both of them are famous and very present in table. But these two plates are not only made in two different ways, but also present two oppsite ways of dealing with diferents ingredients and with the alterity and the identity in generral. In the following article, it is about to study them as a text submitted to a specific syntax and reflecting a special attitude towards identity and alterity.

Le présent article établit une réflexion au niveau théorique et méthodologique sur les sites de rencontre en ligne en tant que sujet d'étude. En qualité de contexte social émergeant, les nouvelles technologies de la communication et de l'information fournissent un nouveau domaine d'étude pour l'ethnographie. Le travail est fondé sur une étude de cas autour des interactions symboliques affectives destinées à « l'amour romantique », sur un ensemble de sites de rencontre en ligne sélectionnés préalablement. On conclut qu'observer ce champ analytique exige de définir clairement les sujets d'étude, autant depuis la construction de l'objet, que depuis la définition des méthodes de recherche et d'analyse.

In the mid-20th century, to make her toxic narrative more meaningful, Rachel Carson presented an allegory of a pastoral American town in her book Silent Spring (1962). At the turn of the 21st century, in the same vein, Ruth Ozeki pursues fictional toxic narratives that tackles the dangers of the meet industry in her first novel, My Year of Meats (1998) and the ones of monocultural crops in her second novel, All Over Creation (2003). Especially, in All Over Creation, she focuses on chemical poisoning and toxic bodies through the topic of monocultural potato farming. She expands the issue of toxicity to ask a fundamental question: who owns and controls life. This paper focuses on the complexities of agribusiness such as monoculture, chemical inputs, toxic bodies, as well as corporate capitalism's attempt to own and control life through biotechnology. This paper further analyses Ozeki's exploration of two potential methods through which individuals might intervene in this powerful corporate control of life: Japanese-American Momoko's biodiversity garden and the Seeds of Resistance who are green guerrilla activists against genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Finally, this paper explores the significance of a fictional space created by the non-linear and non-hierarchical form of this novel.
