Climate change poses a significant threat to Arctic ecosystems. Evaluation of genetic diversity within and differentiation among populations is needed to effectively conserve Arctic species and ensure genetic variation is appropriately managed. This research examined the population genetic structure in Larus hyperboreus (Glaucous Gull), a circumpolar Arctic species that is declining in parts of its range. Population genetic information is needed to help delineate management units, including information on genetic differences among related species, among subspecies (currently distinguished by subtle morphometric and plumage differences), and among colonies in North America. We conducted double-digest restriction site-associated DNA sequencing for 62 L. hyperboreus , 18 L. argentatus smithsonianus (American Herring Gull), 6 L. a. argentatus (European Herring Gull), and 15 L. glaucescens (Glaucous-winged Gull) sampled across the Canadian and European Arctic. Interspecific analyses using 2,145 loci were unable to distinguish between all members of this species complex. Despite the geographic distance among sampling locations, molecular assignments and principal coordinates analyses based on 621 loci uncovered only weak population genetic differentiation among sampled European and Canadian colonies of L. hyperboreus. As L. hyperboreus occupying the eastern Canadian Arctic appears to be acting as a single panmictic population, conservation plans that protect Arctic habitat may help slow or reverse population declines. Proactive conservation strategies will benefit both L. hyperboreus and associated coastal Arctic ecosystems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper explores the decorative styles of three dwellings in the English-style neighbourhood of Thames Town, located in the new city of Songjiang on the outskirts of Shanghai. These interiors, all characterised by eclecticism and the co-presence of many elements attached by the inhabitants to Western cultural universes as well as to the Chinese history, question the contemporary ways of living of a part of the Chinese population, as well as cross-cultural representations and forms of interaction between China and the West. The analysis of the decorations makes it possible to apprehend - through the materialisation (or objectification) as a specific mode of expression of the domestic universe - the forms of hybridised cultural production, spatial appropriation of living spaces, as well as the processes of individual and collective identification and organisation of social relations.

Ce numéro compte trois articles de recherche, un article de praticiens et deux articles de discussions et débats offrant une exploration de divers sujets au cœur de la technologie éducative. D’une part, l’hybridation de l’enseignement, une approche complexe intégrant différentes modalités pour offrir des expériences d’apprentissage optimisées. D’autre part, les pratiques d’interaction en contexte de formation à distance, soulignant l’importance de maintenir des connexions significatives malgré les barrières physiques. Ce numéro explore également la télésurveillance, un outil essentiel pour préserver l’intégrité intellectuelle et lutter contre la fraude dans les examens en ligne. De plus, une réflexion approfondie sur le leadership et la stratégie numérique en contexte scolaire émerge de ces pages, mettant en lumière l’importance d’une vision éclairée pour tirer pleinement parti des technologies éducatives. Enfin, l’édition varia 2023 aborde le lien entre la technologie éducative et la formation en santé, explorant la formation thérapeutique des patients ainsi que la littératie médicale.

Dans l’enseignement supérieur, les dispositifs et les outils numériques utilisés par les étudiants peuvent les amener à s’organiser sous forme de communautés de pairs et, ce faisant, à interagir en toute autonomie. Ils sont alors susceptibles de prendre quelque distance par rapport aux attentes et aux modes de fonctionnement propres à leur université, d’être tentés par des voies plus ou moins parallèles à celle-ci, à moins que les pratiques interactives à distance ne leur offrent des opportunités d’apprentissage ou d’investigation accrues. Dans cet article, plusieurs travaux sont examinés en ce sens afin de voir si de telles pratiques constituent un enjeu ou une menace pour l’institution universitaire. L’utilisation simultanée des outils officiels (comme les forums propres aux universités) et des moyens officieux dont disposent les étudiants (en l’occurrence les réseaux sociaux) est de nature à introduire un certain brouillage dans leurs interactions, cependant il peut y avoir là des opportunités d’échanges à caractère exploratoire ou des collaborations inédites. L’hybridation ainsi à l’œuvre est alors susceptible de se présenter comme un atout pour l’institution comme pour les étudiants.

Based on a survey of faculty teachers at the University of Strasbourg in France, we analyze the perceptions of 418 respondents to a survey about their teaching experience during the two periods of online teaching in 2020 and 2021. Our results show, not surprisingly, a negative feeling. 79% of respondents consider the teaching experience since March 2020 to have been difficult or very difficult, and 51% give negative feedback. A comparison of the responses between those who expressed a negative impression and those who considered themselves rather satisfied with the experience points to the following main differences: the difficulty in mastering the tools and solving the technical problems to teach and produce teaching materials, the pedagogical relationship with the student, and the ability to adapt one’s teaching practices to the distance, particularly related to the lack of time. We note, however, that it is not so much digital competence or practice that marks the differences than perception of the relationship with the student and of pedagogical practices and skills.

The global data assimilation (DA) system at Météo‐France is currently based on a 4D‐Var formulation relying on wavelet‐based 3D background‐error covariances. These covariances are specified at the beginning of the DA window and are evolved implicitly in the DA window through tangent linear and adjoint model integrations. Further research and development steps on data assimilation at Météo‐France are conducted in the framework of the Object‐Oriented Prediction System (OOPS), which is developed in collaboration with the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). For instance, 3D background‐error covariances can be made hybrid through a linear combination between wavelet‐based covariances and ensemble‐based covariances that are filtered through spatial localisation. This allows covariances to be made more anisotropic in a flow‐dependent way, and implementation of this hybridation in the OOPS framework is shown to have general positive impacts on the forecast quality. This 3D‐hybrid approach can also be extended to a 4D‐hybrid approach in the OOPS framework: this relies on a linear combination between 4D ensemble covariances on the one hand and 4D linearly propagated covariances on the other hand, corresponding to initial covariances that are evolved more explicitly by tangent linear and adjoint versions of the model. This provides a unifying framework for implementations of DA schemes that correspond to 4DEnVar, 4D‐Var, and new 4D‐hybrid formulations. This is thus considered as a novel way to combine the respective attractive features of 4D‐Var and 4DEnVar approaches, leading in particular to a new 4D‐hybrid formulation of 4DEnVar. Its properties and implementation in the OOPS framework are presented, and first experimental results show that this new formulation of 4DEnVar is competitive with 4D‐Var, in relation with the improved hybridisation.

Cet article vise à affirmer sur un plan théorique ce que les arts littéraires, entendus comme pratiques d'écriture hors du livre, occasionnent comme déplacements, autant conceptuels qu’empiriques, en regard de l’activité littéraire telle qu’elle est communément envisagée. La double question de la performativité et de la réception de ces types de réalisation est au cœur de la problématisation : à partir de cinq points clés, l’on cherche à mieux cerner ces œuvres, pratiques et modalités créatives qui ouvrent à d’autres usages et régimes d’expérience du fait littéraire, en impulsant du bougé dans les rapports interartistiques. L’article est issu d'une démarche collective de réflexion qui a été menée en collaboration avec les participant·e·s d'une journée d'étude tenue sur ce thème en octobre 2022.

Depuis des décennies se développent dans certaines localités francophones, des pratiques langagières propres aux jeunes. C’est le cas de la région de l’Adamaoua au Cameroun avec le franfulfulde (Biloa 2010) et le frangbaya (Naboula 2019). De ce fait, nous remarquons que le gbaya et le fulfulde sont des langues en contact. L’un influe l’autre. Vu l’expansion, l’aire géographique et démographique des locuteurs du fulfulde, mettent en danger le gbaya pur s’il doit être considéré comme un fait d’appropriation vernaculaire du fulfulde. Les formes linguistiques que l’on observe enrichissent le gbaya courant à travers le processus d’hybridation. Abstract For decades develop in certain francophone localities, many languages practice to young. It is case of Adamawa region in Cameroon througth franfulfulde (Biloa 2010) and frangbaya (Naboula 2019). We realize that the gbaya and fulfulde are language in contact. One language influence second. Openly, geographic and demographic expansion of fufulde speakers put in danger the true gbaya if it must repected as a fact of appropriation of fulfulde is important of young. The linguistics item that observe inrich the frequent gbaya througth the hybridation process.

Legally qualified as self-employed, home educational childcare providers (HECPs) in Quebec operate in a hybrid zone between wage employment and selfemployment. While the majority of the elements of their work organisation is determined from the outside, they are one of the few groups of self-employed workers with access to social protection. This exists under a special sectorbased regime of collective bargaining between trade unions and the State. To grasp the complexities of their work and employment conditions, the paper evaluates HECPs through the lens of social labour relation. SLR is defined as the relation between workers and any entity likely to control their conditions of work and employment. The article analyses the socio-historical construction of successive patterns of SLR for HECPs, showing that they operate not only in a hybrid zone between wage employment and self-employment, but also in a «grey» zone of recomposition of norms, under the pressure of multiple interacting actors The first aspect concerns the blurring of the identity of employer through the multiplicity of entities whose action controls and structures various dimensions of the SLR. The second aspect derives from the hybrid nature of the legal framework of collective bargaining, which offers real potential for improving HECPs’ conditions of work and employment, along with important limitations and ambiguities.

In rabbits breeding, the amelioration processes have a high importance because they are aimed to continuously increase the productions concomitantly with the decrease of specific consumption and unit costs. Cross-breeding of two genetically distinguished breeds can produce the heterozis effect, meaning an increase of the possibility that allow a higher productivity. 53 young rabbits were used as biological material, 3 interlinear simple female hybrids of New Zealand White (NZ) being the maternal line and 3 interlinear simple male hybrids of Grand Chinchilla (CH) form the paternal line. The 53 young rabbits were raised in identical environmental conditions so that their genetic potential to determinate the phonotypical expression. The rabbits weighing was done daily, at the same time, in equal foraging and drinking conditions. The rabbits were weaned at 30 days old, and until 80 days old were raised for meat. The two breeds used in the crossbreeding chart, respectively New Zealand White as maternal line and Grand Chinchilla as paternal line, have a good combinative characteristic, and on their hybrids is manifested the heterozis effect. In all the experimental, the hybrids from NZ x CH cross-breeding registered a corporal dynamic higher then the parental breeds.

Cette étude a pour cadre l’école EPITECH, un établissement d’enseignement supérieur en informatique, fonctionnant en pédagogie active. Comme les autres établissements scolaires, cette école a dû faire face à la nécessité de recourir massivement à l’hybridation numérique avec un temps d’adaptation relativement court. La question posée est de savoir si, au-delà des aspects disciplinaires et du public concerné, la dimension constructiviste de la pédagogie a effectivement favorisé cette transition. Dans ce papier nous proposons une cartographie des méthodes déployées et de l’expérience étudiante dans le cadre de l’hybridation, en nous basant sur les observations réalisées sur le terrain et les témoignages des étudiants et des pédagogues. Notre conclusion est que les méthodes de pédagogie active, une fois intégrées, sont un outil favorisant le passage à l’hybridation numérique. Nous pensons que cette étude contribue à étayer à la fois l’existence de l’effet établissement, et l’intérêt spécifique de la pédagogie active à des fins de transition numérique et hybride.

The health context obliges an accelerated mutation of the formations which meets an older process of transformation, that of hybridization. This article proposes to open up useful avenues for the engineering of capacitive hybrid devices. So we come back in turn to different research. First, we explore the articulation between device and dispositions in the processes of capabilities, then, the notion of hybridization by drawing on the experience of integrative alternating training and its reliances. Finally, for a perspective and debate, we propose some ways to serve these ingenuities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on a new technological training device, virtual reality, embedded in the hybridization of a training course, during the health crisis. Based on a usage study on its implementation into training for public speaking, the article questions the conditions under which virtual reality can allow employees to train, in a context of teleworking. The article develops a double perspective: on the one hand, around empowering design, based on the sciences of education and sociology of uses, and on the other hand, a sociological approach around empowering environments.

This study aims to analyze the transformation of the New Public Management into the New Public Management within the framework of institutional divergence. The study focuses on the transformation of New Public Management as an institutional phenomenon within the framework of bureaucratic hybridization that results in unique divergences according to the organization. Social actors as the main element of institutional normative coupled with other institutional mimetics have an impact on elaboration patterns of government, affecting efficiency and organization. The case study methodology was chosen to see how the roles of actors in the bureaucracy with the help of Text Network Analysis as a visual and structured confirmation tool. The results show that the hybridization of public management in the bureaucracy needs to go beyond coercive factors to encourage the potential of state apparatus in digital governance towards ideal Post New Public Management. Methodological findings in the form of qualitative research variants that are adaptive to the application of technology can be applied to build strong data validity and reliability. Theoretically, the findings also complement institutional divergence studies that have not yet examined the context of the digital bureaucracy era.

Dans la présente contribution, nous étudions un dispositif d’aide à la réussite, impulsé par la loi ORE (Orientation et Réussite des Étudiants) et centré sur la réussite et l’intégration des étudiants en première année de Licence. Nous initions une réflexion sur ce dispositif et - plus largement - sur les dispositifs pédagogiques, en engageant un dialogue alimenté par nos parcours et statuts respectifs de Maître de Conférences et d’Ingénieure Pédagogique. A travers une approche ethnographique, prenant appui sur des matériaux de terrain (storyboards pédagogiques, journal de bord des séances, comptes rendus des réunions pédagogiques et des séances), nous esquissons l'écosystème de ce dispositif, ancré dans la conduite de projet agile, l’apprentissage collaboratif et l’hybridation. Enfin, nous pointons la fécondité de ces pistes, susceptibles d’être inspirantes, pour d’autres situations d’apprentissage, d’autres dispositifs pédagogiques, d’autres disciplines, voire d’autres types d’établissements.

A Humument (1966-2016), Tom Phillips’s masterwork, is an artist's book which falls under the category of found text by virtue of its compositional strategies. The book indeed consists in a revisitation and a détournement of every single page of a Victorian novel entitled A Human Document, published in 1892 by a certain William H. Mallock. Each page of A Humument constitutes a verbo-iconic complex in which the words isolated by Phillips and the various visual elements with which he covers the source text come into interaction, in often very elaborate configurations. The hybrid constellations patiently developed by Phillips are usually grounded in a very broad intertextual network which incorporates the established arts (literature, painting, music, etc.) alongside other artistic forms considered minor, including comics. The aim of our essay is to study as closely as possible Phillips’s re-appropriations of codes specific to comics, which he mobilizes in ways which alternate between the parodic and the poetic. Our analysis will thus focus on the formal hybridizations that Phillips operates on several pages of his work; it will also give us the opportunity to interrogate the necessarily problematic relationships which potentially unite comics and avant-gardist practices at the intersection of verbal and iconic registers.

The increasing number of clients with multicultural backgrounds pose a challenge for a mental health field that has mostly addressed the psychological needs of culturally diverse clients in a monolithic and linear fashion. In addition, the body's role in identity development and expression has not been fully integrated in either the theory or practice of counselling. This article addresses these gaps by advocating for a somatic psychotherapy process of identity exploration and negotiation of individuals with multiple cultural backgrounds. This process is meant to support not only more congruent hybrid identities, but also transform the vulnerabilities of this population in increased resiliency and strength. A composite case is used to illustrate this clinical approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La crise historique que nous venons de traverser dans le monde entier avec la pandémie de la COVID-19 n’a fait que souligner avec une acuité plus intense encore que d’habitude que les effets du numérique sur l’éducation et la formation sont multiples. Nous retenons notamment l’importance de la mise en place de dispositifs technopédagogiques de qualité, qu’ils soient présentiels (en classe), distanciels (à la maison ou au travail) ou hybrides (combinant des activités pédagogiques dans un même espace physique et des activités pédagogiques en ligne), afin de favoriser la création de contextes d’apprentissage permettant à toutes les personnes apprenantes, quelles que soient leurs situations, d’être engagées, d’être accompagnées, d’être guidées, d’être soutenues. Mais, comment concevoir la qualité, alors que l’activité pédagogique, soumise à des tensions, est perçue comme étant entrée en « mode dégradé »? Ce numéro thématique propose une réflexion croisée autour des apports, des possibilités et des contraintes qu’impose le numérique en éducation et en formation. Les autrices et auteurs réunis questionnent également la conception et les éléments qui contribuent à la qualité des dispositifs de formations en ligne et hybrides. Ce quatrième numéro de Médiations & médiatisations restitue des analyses, des réflexions ou des expériences vécues dans ces modalités d’enseignement, illustrant à la fois des réorganisations et la nécessité d’un développement professionnel.

L’offre de MOOC se caractérise aujourd’hui par une diversité de dispositifs qui se développent dans l’ensemble des espaces de formation (ex. écoles, entreprises, établissements d’enseignement supérieur, etc.). Cet article s’intéresse à l’un de ces dispositifs, récemment introduits dans le milieu universitaire : le MOOC hybride intégré dans une formation en présentiel. A partir d’une analyse de l’expérience des étudiants, nous cherchons à comprendre à la fois leurs motivations et leurs usages des ressources pédagogiques et des outils de communication (synchrones et asynchrones) mis à leur disposition. Il ressort, dans ce contexte particulier, que les étudiants qui ont réussi se distinguent de ceux qui ont échoué, par leurs motivations intrinsèques et extrinsèques et leurs utilisations des vidéos du live. Des pistes d’amélioration sont proposées en vue d’optimiser l’intégration d’un MOOC hybride dans un cursus académique.

Le projet de la Classe du futur vise à repenser les salles de classe à la formation initiale et continue des enseignants. Ce projet s’inscrit dans une volonté d’offrir des espaces d’apprentissage flexibles à l’université tout en préparant les enseignants aux défis du 21e siècle. Par un effort concerté, des étudiants issus des sciences du design et de l’éducation ont proposé une esquisse d’aménagement de locaux existants à l’UQAM. L’esquisse présentée dans cet article permet également de réfléchir sur l’intérêt des projets de recherche interdisciplinaires et les caractéristiques d’une classe d’apprentissage actif en milieu universitaire.

Georges Henein and Jean Sénac are two committed poets who establish a link between East and West. Their specificity is that they lived in muslim countries, Egypt and Algeria, and they tried to take part in their people’s emancipation during the 20th century. They denounced the confiscation of power and the corruption of the anti-colonial fight using only two weapons : poetry and the French language. At the same time, they have encouraged tighter relations between the two sides of the Mediterranean. Their very peculiar situation, being related to several cultures and several territories, explains why they can be regarded as forerunners of modern identities placed under the sign of cultural hybridation.

This article is the partial result of an investigation carried out with the students of the Degree Program in Modern Languages ​​of the University of Caldas, Colombia. This research was likewise integrated into a second study concerning the Didactics of the Grammar of Foreign Languages. The research arose from the linguistic hybridization that language teachers have perceived in the correction of the written production of students who simultaneously learn several languages. We analyze, in the current investigation, the phenomenon of linguistic transfer through a corpus of authentic texts written by students. This research focuses on two primary objectives: to identify the phenomenon of transfer at the scriptural level and to determine the pedagogical implications of the language loan in the simultaneous learning of several foreign languages. The methodology is based on an analytical-descriptive approach whose instruments for collecting information were an interview, a survey and a corpus of 50 authentic texts produced by the students. We made a description of the discursive unit and then we carried out a morphosyntactic, semantic and pragmatic analysis of each text. The systematization of the information gathered threw us among the conclusions that the mixture of languages ​​in written production is essentially due to the similarity between them, that is, due to their nature of related languages ​​and the approach used for teaching foreign languages, it facilitates the transfer phenomenon when the learning of several linguistic codes occurs simultaneously.

Recently, MFRs have been mobilizing remote modalities associated with alternance training in devices so called hybrids. We thus asked ourselves how these devices would prescribe reliances for their initiators and for alternants? The study allows us to discern a continuum of instrumented alternance training. The links to oneself, to others and to one's professional practices would be built through the mobilization of instruments and the implementation of educational activities aimed at creating links between the different training time spaces, of work and life and between the actors.

The authors summarize the results obtained over a period of about 150 years by various authors on the taxonomic position of Sparrows present in southern Italy, Sicily and Malta, identified on several occasions as Passer italiae, P. hispaniolensis or as hybrids of the two species. Based on the latest research and the analysis of the genome of the sparrows of Corsica, Crete, southern Italy, Sicily and Malta, it appears that it has finally been possible to establish that these populations possess a different degree of hybridization between P. italiae and P. hispaniolensis, with less genes of P. hispaniolensis in northern regions and more in southern ones. Therefore, the authors propose to name these populations Passer italiae x hispaniolensis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article we will cover the following problem; how do journalists and columnists picture the daily life using the French language? Our purpose is to demonstrate how the neological linguistic forms used by the chroniclers describe the Algerian social life. The corpus stripped and analyzed comes from the two chronicles "Slice of Life" and "Raïna Raïkoum" of the Algerian newspaper of French expression "Quotidien d'Oran" for 12 months; from June 01, 2010 to May 31, 2011.

Starting from a historical reflection on the concept of hybridization, and in particular on its circulation between natural and social sciences, this contribution attempts to identify some of the processes by which cereal rituals are reformulated when the relevance of associated representations and practices is eroded. Among other examples, it mobilizes the case of millet rituals in Taiwan, modified by the introduction of rice cultivation and then by Christianization. The last section revisits the concepts and approaches used in the field so as to better balance theoretical rigor and imagination in the study of the transformations that continue to affect the meaning given to cultivation and food practices.

Kersting's groundnut (Macrotyloma geocarpa) is an orphan crop of significant food and household income in sub-Saharan Africa. The objective of this study was to evaluate the chromosomal variability among the accessions of the species through analysis of the karyotypes. Six accessions of Kersting's groundnut were subjected to conventional cytological techniques, using root tip meristems. The somatic chromosome number was 2n = 20 in all the accessions. The highest total chromosome length was obtained in Tkg 1 (1.739 + 0.047); while the least was in Tkg 12 (1.014 + 0.029). All the accessions had metacentric, submetacentric and subtelocentric chromosomes. However, there was a preponderance towards metacentric chromosomes, suggesting a symmetrical karyotype, which is known to be a primitive condition. Five of the accessions were grouped in karyotype 2A while one accession, Tkg 9 was grouped in karyotype 2B. The 2B karyotypes are known to have greater chromosomal asymmetry than 2A; thus Tkg 9 may be advancing evolutionarily faster than the other accessions. Hierarchical cluster analysis divided the accessions into three clusters. Cluster 1 comprised of four accessions (Tkg 1, Tkg 6, Tkg 9 and Tkg 11); while Cluster 2 comprised of one accession (Tkg 6); and cluster 3 had one accession (Tkg 12). Tkg 6 and Tkg 12 were observed to be distantly related to the other accessions; as such could serve as parents in hybridisation programmes to generate wider variability for the improvement of the species.

Les frontières délimitent les territoires et séparent les arts. Leur suspension entraîne le sacrifice de la pureté recherchée par « la séparation des genres » propre à l’esthétique classique au profit de « l’impureté » shakespearienne. Elle s’est imposée dans les années 60 et alors Peter Brook ou Ariane Mnouchkine ont engagé une recherche transfrontalière, aussi bien au niveau de leurs équipes que de leur choix scéniques. Plus tardivement cela a conduit à la mixité et à l’hybridation des formes ou même des sexes. La modernité s’affirme par le combat avec les frontières et leur dépassement constant !

Le lycée bilingue franco-turc Saint Benoît a développé des expériences d’hybridation pendant l’année scolaire 2017-2018 avec un projet numérique en adéquation avec la progression pédagogique en français langue étrangère de la première année de lycée, bénéficiant du support des Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication pour l’Enseignement (TICE). A l’aide d’une enquête réalisée auprès des élèves à l’issue du projet, nous pourrons analyser certains effets de l’hybridation et en quoi celle-ci peut contribuer à l’optimisation de l’apprentissage en contexte bilingue.

La poésie espagnole actuelle se construit à partir de nouveaux paradigmes, principalement les propositions « postpoétiques » d’Agustín Fernández Mallo, qui recherchent une « métaphore nouvelle » reposant sur des relations fortes entre science et poésie. La réécriture poétique s’appuie sur l’appropriation de textes antérieurs par des jeux de transtextualité : hypertexte et transposition. L’utilisation des nouvelles technologies de l’information et de la communication offre des systèmes créatifs inédits grâce à l’Internet et à l’informatique, mais la relation entre science et poésie est également revisitée par la poésie fractale de Ramón Dachs. Nous étudions la réécriture comme un acte poétique du présent, s’inscrivant dans des constructions hypermodernes comme le remake ou le mashup. Vicente Luis Mora et Alejandro Céspedes illustrent aussi ces nouvelles poétiques par une actualisation des thèmes, des variations symboliques et systématiques, qui redéfinissent l’espace de la poésie contemporaine.

This article reviews the state of knowledge on social innovations in Sub-Saharan Africa. Its aim is to explore and highlight the emerging trajectories of this little-discussed subject, for a continent caught between the dynamics of historical realities and the extroversion of development methods in a context characterized by multifaceted crises. To do this, the article revisits pertinent writings and explores emblematic cases by refocusing the research on a time frame extending from the 1960s to the present, when confrontation between the two movements has produced a hybridization that articulates innovations. The main finding concerns, on the one hand, a focus of social innovations on humans carried out by organizations linked to the social economy and, on the other hand, the alignment between the issues, challenges and practices whose local benchmarks particularize these innovations. The analyzed cases reveal a set of operational logics marked by the interaction between imported technologies and the pre-existing mechanisms from which innovative technologies originate. The proliferation of such technologies makes it possible to open up research perspectives highlighting socioterritorial structures, the omnipresence of solidarity activities and the predominance of community actors who have to combine social, institutional, economic, technical, and academic traits.

L’article propose une analyse concernant la construction médiatique d’un conflit socio-environnemental dans la Patagonie chilienne (projet HidroAysén). La médiatisation du consensus technique, économique et politique autour du projet est l’objet de notre démarche. On analyse, à la lumière d’une approche discursive (Foucault, 1969 ; Maingueneau, 2011), les stratégies mises en place dans un corpus de communication professionnelle et de presse. L’hybridation des arguments entre les promoteurs et les détracteurs est l’effet inattendu de ce phénomène.
