Summary: When the relationship between the development of corporate telecommunications and competitiveness is considered, a number of terminological ambiguities should first be clarified. Three situations can then be defined and examined, according to whether telecommunications are considered as having a neutral, passive, or active role. The capacities of each firm, the nature of the industry and the state of competition all determine a wide variety of uses for information and communication technologies.

Summary: When, in 1988, Nature finally published results by Jacques Benveniste seeming to show that water could 'remember' the properties of substances in ultra-high dilutions, it detonated an 'epistemiological bombshell' that highlighted the way scientists now use the mass media to publicize their work. They have become entrepreneurs who, in order to interest others in a discovery that may be unacceptable to the established scientific journals, must mobilize and orchestrate a number of different communication resources to build their own information networks. This analysis of the affair may prompt a more thorough exploration of the many paths that lead to the construction of scientific facts.

Summary: In this article, outsourcing is defined as the transfer of all or part of the existing information and communication systems (ICS) of a firm to a third party. The argument is based on the central model of transaction cost theory. Traditionally, this model concerns the make-or-buy choice. A firm that decides to outsource its ICS has already made a substantial investment in the system over several years. The article therefore develops an original analysis to help answer the following question: on what terms can a firm transfer ownership rights in highly specific hardware and software, and establish a long-term relationship with the service provider? Finally, the article proposes a generalization and an in- depth reflection on the organizational choices and governance structures to adopt when outsourcing.

Summary: Ever since American advertisers first banded together early this century to deflect criticism with a code of conduct based on 'truth' and fair competition, the industry has been seeking legitimacy by creating first national, then multinational and finally worldwide associations to defend its activities and influence the environment in which it operates. Now marketing standards have penetrated widely diverse fields of activity and the economy as a whole. The forces underlying the new, pervasive advertising are helping to transform an area of culture which is already transcending national boundaries.

Summary: As part of the discourse engendered by our culture, there is no reason for media discourse to receive special treatment - despite journalists' claims concerning the peculiar nature of their work. An anthropological viewpoint shows us that in the construction of their discourse, journalists are constrained in the same way as makers of myths: it is an attempt to define reality by means of narrative structures which, in order to give meaning to the unexpected, resort to culturally deep-rooted symbols. The analysis of the media event - the former king's visit at Easter - which mobilized the Romanian press in 1992, shows the power of the symbols which the media exploit while maintaining the illusion of simply recounting concrete events.

Summary: What happens in a radio studio at the moment of going on the air? This article examines the modalities of going on and off the air at France Culture. It describes the radio producer's twofold task: slhe has to introduce a third party, the listener, into the group of participants in the studio, and to construct a place for that listener in the conversation. The study shows the contemporary form of interaction on the air, and the frame of reference mobilized. We see how radio professionals employ vari- ous means to achieve the 'live' involvement of speakers, and in so doing define, in a sense, the cultural programme at France Culture.

Summary: The origins of chain letters, which are now circulated for ludic, humanitarian or profit motives, can be found in age-old religious traditions. This study of the genre shows how these letters became gradually secularized and identifies contemporary forms using such modern methods as fax machines, photocopiers and electronic mail. Thus the ancient 'celestial letters', which were still very much alive in the sixteenth century, became letters sent with the blessing of Saint Anthony, or of mere bishops and parish priests. As the letters became commonplace they also came to he seen as either a miraculous cure or a clever way to make money. With further secularization, wholly ludic chain letters appeared, and then bogus advertising photocopies claiming that recipients have won a fabulous prize - a 'gift from heaven'.

Summary: How was the CSG bill, a major priority on the Rocard government's political agenda, constructed as a political entity? Drawing upon empirical data from the prime minister's information and publicity service, it is possible to analyse the process of its composition and recomposition. Alongside overwhelming events such as the Gulf crisis and, to a lesser extent, the 'high school and suburban crisis', the controversial CSG relied essentially for its construction on the government's definition of the political situation. The frames of interpretation applied to the CSG by the media were aimed at reducing the controversy in terms of political tactics and parliamentary games, while the subject itself presented specific difficulties of interpretation.

Summary: In her analysis of over a thousand TV film synopses, the author identifies a number of common elements which reveal current social trends and problems. Recurring themes in the synopses include the crisis in family life, the dominant role of women in relationships, paternity, prostitution, sexuality, the confusion of identities and the apparent absence of passion. In the world portrayed in these texts, where differences between the sexes and between generations have been eroded, it seems that the only lasting relationships are the most unlikely ones.

Summary: During the past decade, theoreticians have laid the foundations for optimal normative regulation. Taking as an example the pricing of a communication channel, this article demonstrates the need to go further and choose the lesser of two evils: economic inefficiency or political arbitrariness. The sophisticated pricing methods envisaged by the theory do in fact give politicians considerable latitude to distort tariffs in their own interests or those of the group backing them. Exactly the same type of choice has to be made in laying down constitutional rules governing regulation and privatization.
