Practices associated with the culture of “scholarly” reading have been developed over many centuries and annotations themselves have become the subject of study, either as additional elements in connection with the original texts or as documents in their own right. The first “scholarly” reading techniques, seen historically from the 12th Century onwards, combine reading and writing in a process known as lettrure, involving both attentive reading and commentary. The Internet has transformed this activity, adding technical layers that relate both to the reading and writing process as well as to the circulation of texts; their potential and effective augmentation, diffusion, and reception. This book examines digitized reading and writing by focusing primarily on the conditions for the co-construction of scientific knowledge and its augmentation. The authors present numerous examples of studies and personal feedback concerning the intellectual process, open critical spaces, collaborative scholarly publishing, methods for the circulation and mediatization of knowledge, as well as the techniques and tools employed.

Understanding Business Ecosystems: How Firms Succeed in the New World of Convergence? builds on strategic management and innovationmanagement academic contributions to better understand theoreticaland empirical challenges of business ecosystems. Even if the concept ofbusiness ecosystem was coined in 1993, it will lie fallow during more than tenyears before gaining scholars' interest. Managers will however recognize therelevance of this concept as it grasps the complexity of their business realityin terms of new collaborative and innovative strategies.Thus, the main purpose of this book is twofold. On the one hand, the objective is to identify the epistemological and theoretical fundamentals of business ecosystems, and on the other hand, the purpose is to analyse the various managerial challenges. This volume analyses in particular the issues of knowledge management, coopetition strategies, platforms, governance, etc. Understanding Business Ecosystems: How Firms Succeed in the New World of Convergence? is finally a key reference book that innovates by integratingfor the first time well known French speaking scholars' contributions from the strategy and innovation management fields.

Des récits utopiques entourent nos organisations, qu’elles soient publiques ou privées : l’utopie de l’organisation numérique et « sans papiers », l’utopie de l’organisation parlant d’une seule voix ou l’utopie de l’organisation comme lieu d’épanouissement de soi. Les utopies organisationnelles examine ces représentations idéales de l’organisation, afin d’offrir des alternatives et d’ouvrir des perspectives d’analyses qui permettent de mieux comprendre la complexité organisationnelle. C’est en regardant l’organisme de l’intérieur, en observant les pratiques, en se proposant de suivre l’organisation en action que l’ouvrage interroge ces utopies, les met à l’épreuve du réel et les déconstruit. Chaque chapitre est illustré par des cas tirés de recherches menées dans diverses organisations – hôpitaux, cabinets d’experts-conseils, services d’urgence et universités.

Quels métiers se cachent derrière les décors que constituent les galeries de musées, les salles d'archives ou les façades des monuments, plus familières au public que les magasins, réserves, salles de tri ou de restauration où se fabrique le patrimoine ? Ces activités professionnelles sont, de fait, une part tenue dans l’ombre d’un spectacle patrimonial qui se mesure habituellement en milliers voire en dizaine de milliers de visiteurs, et en dizaine voire en centaines de millions d’euros de budget. Part de l’ombre mais aussi parfois métiers de l’ombre : les acteurs qui retiennent ici l’attention des chercheurs – gardiens, médiateurs, amateurs en voie de professionnalisation – ne sont pas toujours ceux que les médias mettent volontiers au premier plan. Lorsqu’elles deviennent terrain de l’ethnologue, ces professions souvent sollicitées pour porter un discours assertif sur le patrimoine apparaissent en proie au doute, loin de leurs certitudes scientifiques : conservateurs en mal d’objets, restaurateurs incertains face aux défis du temps, chercheurs en proie à des injonctions contraires… Aux ethnographies attentives rassemblées dans ce volume, véritable auscultation d’un monde professionnel, il convenait d’offrir une large mise en perspective. Métiers anciens ou nouveaux, tous s’inscrivent en effet dans le paradigme d’un tournant qui a bouleversé jusqu’au sens du mot « patrimoine ». Dès lors, celui-ci désigne moins un instrument de conservation de l’histoire nationale qu’une forme, de plus en plus individuelle, d’expérience du passé, repoussant indéfiniment les limites du potentiel patrimonial, et délaissant les assurances de l’expertise scientifique au profit des incertitudes de la démocratie culturelle.

Due to its centrality in human activities, food is a meaningful object that necessarily participates in any cultural, social and ideological construction and its qualification as 'traditional' is a politically laden value. This book demonstrates that traditionality as attributed to foods goes beyond the notions of heritage and authenticity under which it is commonly formulated. Through a series of case studies from a global range of cultural and geographical areas, the book explores a variety of contexts to reveal the complexity behind the attribution of the term 'traditional' to food. In particular, the volume demonstrates that the definitions put forward by programmes such as TRUEFOOD and EuroFIR (and subsequently adopted by organisations including FAO), which have analysed the perception of traditional foods by individuals, do not adequately reflect this complexity. The concept of tradition being deeply ingrained culturally, socially, politically and ideologically, traditional foods resist any single definition. Chapters analyse the processes of valorisation, instrumentalisation and reinvention at stake in the construction and representation of a food as traditional. Overall the book offers fresh perspectives on topics including definition and regulation, nationalism and identity, and health and nutrition, and will be of interest to students and researchers of many disciplines including anthropology, sociology, politics and cultural studies.

ECHNOLOGICAL PROSPECTS AND SOCIAL APPLICATIONS SET Coordinated by Bruno Salgues There are many controversies with respect to health crisis management: the search for information on symptoms, misinformation on emerging treatments, massive use of collaborative tools by healthcare professionals, deployment of applications for tracking infected patients. The Covid-19 crisis is a relevant example about the need for research in digital communications in order to understand current health info communication. After an overview of the challenges of digital healthcare, this book offers a critical look at the organizational and professional limits of ICT uses for patients, their caregivers and healthcare professionals. It analyzes the links between ICT and ethics of care, where health communication is part of a global, humanistic and emancipating care for patients and caregivers. It presents new digitized means of communicating health knowledge that reveal, thanks to the Internet, a competition between biomedical expert knowledge and experiential secular knowledge.

Alors que les utilisateurs alimentent le Web en contenus, les entreprises propriétaires des plateformes du Web social accumulent ces contributions bénévoles dans des bases de données afin de générer de la valeur économique. Comment interpréter ce phénomène paradoxal? Pourrait-on parler d’un capitalisme de la contribution? Cet ouvrage soulève les enjeux à la fois économiques, politiques, médiatiques et épistémologiques de la contribution en ligne.
