Jane Jacobs et le Québec : sa correspondance inédite et sa présence dans la presse québécoise
No full textCet article a pour but de rassembler les idées, les écrits et les relations avec le Québec de la journaliste et autrice autodidacte Jane Jacobs. Grâce à une documentation inédite, nous partageons des extraits de sa correspondance avec le premier ministre du Québec René Lévesque, le journaliste Raymond C. Gagné, l’économiste-géographe Pierre Desrochers et l’économiste Marcel Côté, ainsi qu’une revue de sa présence dans la presse québécoise. Jacobs est un sujet important du fait de sa théorie novatrice sur le dynamisme des villes ainsi que de son analyse politique du Québec. Sa correspondance indique une appropriation de ses théories par des économistes québécois dès 1969.The objective of this article is to gather the ideas, writings and relations with Quebec of self-taught journalist and author Jane Jacobs. We share extracts of hitherto unpublished correspondence with Quebec Prime minister René Lévesque, journalist Raymond C. Gagné, economic-geographer Pierre Desrochers and economist Marcel Côté. Also included is a review of Jane Jacobs’ presence in the Quebec press. She is an important subject for Quebec’s economy with her innovative theoretical writings on the dynamism of cities and her political analysis of Quebec. Her correspondence indicates that her theories were adopted by Quebec economists as early as 1969
The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author

Language Change and SA-OT: The case of sentential negation
No full textSimulated Annealing for Optimality Theory (SA-OT) updates Optimality Theory by adding a model of performance to a theory of linguistic competence. Our aim is to show that SA-OT can contribute to language change simulations. Performance "errors" are considered to be one of the causes of variation and change. We have chosen to model the evolution of sentential negation (SN). The descriptive background adopts Jespersen's Cycle, according to which the evolution of sentential negation follows three main stages (1. pre-verbal, 2. discontinuous, and 3. post-verbal). Therefore, we advance a novel model for SN, based on SA-OT. It reproduces the three pure and the two observed mixed stages, whereas it correctly predicts the lack of an intermediate stage between 3 and 1. The success of the approach corroborates the computational, performance-based approach to the data. Finally, we employ the iterated learning paradigm to reproduce historical changes in a "simulated corpus study". This enterprise turns out to be more difficult than one would naively believe.Appeared open access as: Computational Linguistics in the Netherlands Journal (CLIN), vol. 1 (2011), pp. 21-40, and is available at http://www.clinjournal.org/sites/default/files/Lopopolo.pdfA.

Food for all: the need to measure healthy eating in SA
No full textEnsuring that everyone consumes a nutritious diet for a healthy life is a fundamental socioeconomic and human right entrenched in the South African constitution. However, realising this right is difficult without appropriate information. We need reliable facts about the extent to which people consume balanced diets, writes Dr Peter Jacobs, who investigated recent data on nutritional intake in South Africa.

La Marque Jaune : lecture d'une planche d'Edgar-Pierre Jacobs. Entre Fantômas et Nosferatu
No full textEdgar-Pierre Jacobs est l'un des grands auteurs de la bande dessinée européenne. Avec Hergé (il aide ce dernier à élaborer Les 7 boules de cristal), Jacobs compte parmi les pionniers de l'École de Bruxelles, caractérisée par la « ligne claire ». La Marque jaune forme avec Le Mystère de la Grande Pyramide un diptyque célèbre où l'expressionnisme le dispute au classicisme. Pierre Fresnault-Deruelle nous livre ici sa lecture de l'une des planches de cet album mythique.Fresnault-Deruelle Pierre. La Marque Jaune : lecture d'une planche d'Edgar-Pierre Jacobs.

COLD COMFORT FOR PARTIES TO A MUSLIM MARRIAGE Hassan v Jacobs NO [2008] 4 All SA 350 (C)
No full textIn Hassan v Jacobs NO ([2008] 4 All SA 350 (C)) the High Court of South Africa (Cape of Good Hope Provincial Division) was faced with the question of whether the applicant, a spouse to a de facto polygamous Muslim marriage, was entitled to the benefits as provided to a surviving spouse in terms of Intestate Succession Act (81 of 1987 (hereinafter “the ISA”)) as well as the Maintenance of Surviving Spouses Act (27 of 1990 (hereinafter “the MSSA”)). In other words, the court had to decide whether the decision in the case Daniels v Campbell NO (2004 5 SA 331 (CC), where it was held that the word “spouse” as utilised in the ISA and MSSA should be interpreted toinclude a husband and wife married in terms of Islamic rites in a de facto monogamous marriage, could be extended to parties in a de facto polygamous Muslim marriage
