En tant que mélange entre jeu de rôle et jeu de stratégie au tour par tour, le Tactical RPG ou "jeu de rôle tactique" apparaît comme un objet hybride devant concilier la tension narrative propre au jeu de rôle et le fonctionnement purement a-diégétique des échecs. Me focalisant sur la période 1990-1995, je propose pour étudier cette hybridité un parcours analytique allant du premier Fire Emblem à la sortie de Tactics Ogre : Let Us Cling Together en octobre 1995. J’étudie ainsi la manière dont le système de jeu du T-RPG met l'espace ludique isométrique en géographie afin d'en faire le cœur d'une dynamique narrative, où l'espace et le temps interviennent de concert. Par l’entremise du cas spécifique de la bifurcation narrative, cet article entend contribuer à la réflexion en cours sur la possibilité de pratiquer une narratologie transmédiatique. / As it crosses borders between role-playing games and turn-based strategy games, Tactical RPG seems to be a hybrid object, which has to reconcile the narrative tension one can find in role playing games, and the a-diegeticness of chess. I propose studying such hybridity by focusing on the years 1990-1995, from the first Fire Emblem to October 95, i.e. the release of Tactics Ogre. As I study the way T-RPG turns the isometric squares of the ludic space into a true geographic world, I bring out the fact this geographical turn plays the main role in the spatial and temporal dynamics of the narrative. By considering the specific case of forking paths in narration, this paper wished to points towards the possibility of a transmediatic narratology.

Since the microcomputing revolution in the 1970s we live in the age of permanent technological disruptions, but institutional and educational practices remain unchanged. As noted by Flavin, " technologies come and go but the university remains, in a recognizable and largely unchanged form " (Flavin, 2017). Disruptive technologies, such as distributed consensus systems (blockchains, DLTs) challenge the role of the university as gatekeeper to knowledge and question the structure and organisational architecture of institutions. The only chance for traditional institutions is to find interfaces to informal and technology-driven " production cultures " (Tarasiewicz, 2011) to be able to radically reinvent the university. If the universities don't react to technological and societal change, they will be forked, replaced, and decentralized.

Blockchain has swiftly become one of the most dominant and promising technologies of the past couple of years. The information security is the key to the development of contemporaneous Internet technology. The distributed mechanism, scripted mechanism, password mechanism and decentralized mechanism of the Blockchain present a perfectly new perspective for the development of Internet information security technology. Blockchain is a distributed database that maintains a successively increasingly list of records called blocks that are secured from any kind of interfere with and revision endeavor. A word that often emerges when talking about Blockchain is Bitcoin. The numerous people still confuse Blockchain with Bitcoinal though, they are not the same. Bitcoin is just one of several applications that use Blockchain technology. In Blockchain every block contains a time stamp and a link to the previous block. Blockchain extant level of security of a system and data perspective for both private and public ledgers. Alternatively, uploading data to a cloud server or storing it in a single location, as well as breaking everything into small chunks and distributes them across the whole network of computers. In this paper, we try to conduct a comprehensive survey on the Blockchain security as well as the challenges and opportunities for the prospective of security and privacy of data in Blockchain. In its present state, several leading companies and governments detect demonstrations of the Blockchain integrated into identity management, credential validation, finance, supply chain, property exchange recording, and other territory.
