By presenting a range of diaristic texts composed by canonical Victorian writers, this article illustrates the variety of forms that Victorian diaries take and shows the ways in which these documents can adopt the status of a public and a private text simultaneously. It explains the repercussions of the critical assessments of the diary genre by New Criticism and feminism, which have privileged aesthetically meritorious diaries and those of women, respectively, for the field of Victorian diary criticism. It argues that the more inclusive approach of Philippe Lejeune represents a useful alternative to interpretative strategies that are exclusively preoccupied with the literary form of a diary or the gender of its author. Many diary scholars have been influenced by Lejeune’s work because it highlights the heteroglossic diversity that is characteristic of Victorian diaries, which, in turn, allows for a clearer understanding of the subjective experience of Victorian individuals and the ways in which they negotiated their value within the cultural context of the nineteenth century.

In this paper, we explore the concept of providing feedback to a user moving in front of a depth camera so that he is able to replicate a specific template action. This can be used as a home based rehabilitation system for stroke survivors, where the objective is for patients to practice and improve their daily life activities. Patients are guided in how to correctly perform an action by following feedback proposals. These proposals are presented in a human interpretable way. In order to align an action that was performed with the template action, we explore two different approaches, namely, Subsequence Dynamic Time Warping and Temporal Commonality Discovery. The first method aims to find the temporal alignment and the second one discovers the interval of the subsequence that shares similar content, after which standard Dynamic Time Warping can be used for the temporal alignment. Then, feedback proposals can be provided in order to correct the user with respect to the template action. Experimental results show that both methods have similar accuracy rate and the computational time is a decisive factor, where Subsequence Dynamic Time Warping achieves faster results. [less ▲]

Vidéosurveillance à Johannesburg : impacts sur la population et le territoire

In order to combat violence and criminality, Johannesburg, in its striving to become a «world-class city», has installed a closed circuit television system in its Central Business District (CBD). The article analyses the social and spatial effects of this modern surveillance technology. It is argued that surveillance by camera essentially aims at protecting important areas. Its effect on reducing criminality does not appear to be as certain. Furthermore, closed circuit television has contributed towards a new territorialisation of space in the wake of Apartheid and towards the introduction of a privatized public culture. This means that a whole segment of the population appears to be excluded from such areas on socio-economic grounds. [less ▲]

Les auteurs de tendances diverses et divergentes auxquels des collègues d'autres disciplines ont bien voulu s'associer, tentent dans cet ouvrage de permettre au lecteur de se faire une idée de la complexité des problèmes d'application du droit et de l'éthique. Aujourd'hui l'avènement des éthiques appliquées confère aux débats sur l'application des normes éthiques une vigueur particulière. Le but de ce livre est de mieux faire connaître les positions en présence. [less ▲]
