Abstract From 1758 to 1768 the Tableau Économique of François Quesnay took successively three forms, the Zig-zag, the Précis, and finally the Formule. This article explains the reasons for the two form changes, from the Zig-zag to the Précis and from the Précis to the Formule. From Philosophie rurale (1763), Quesnay improves the tool that the Tableau already was so that it can account for France's gradual transition from a current net production rate of 30 percent to a future rate of 100 percent. The Zig-zag could not account for the progress of agriculture. The Précis, which is a compacted Zig-zag, remains too rigid. It is a transitional form toward the modified Précis and then toward the Formule. The Formule is a very efficient and flexible tool. The Formule affirms a stock-flow approach. It facilitates the start of the exchanges between the three classes of society. It gives an account simultaneously of the monetary payments and of the real deliveries between the different classes. From an economic point of view, the Formule appears superior to the Zig-zag and the Précis. It constitutes for that reason the definitive form of the Tableau.

Investigating the case of the Investiture Struggle in the diocese of Cambrai–Arras (c. 1100), this article aims at exploring some crucial issues for historians using social network analysis in the study of heterogeneous relationships. The study proceeds along three lines of enquiry. First, by establishing a hierarchy in the different types of relationships mentioned in the sources, it determines which of them are the most important to model and understand the structure of the network. Second, it demonstrates it is unnecessary to consider co-witnessing relationships (i.e. to be witnesses of a same charter) in the modelling of networks. Indeed, co-witnessing relationships do not help to improve our understanding of the structure of the parties at stake in a conflict. Finally, this paper deals with the importance of rank order in the witness lists. It demonstrates that, in the case of Cambrai, rank order does not have an influence on the global structure of the network. In other words, all individuals in the same witness list play a similar role in the network in terms of party structuring.

<p>This paper departs from questioning the relationship between the everyday maker and the built environment. It thus, positions the human reflections and daily interactions with the cultural heritage in terms of human sensory experiences at the center of its empirical research. The process of perceptions mapping is a sense-making process during which people map what they feel their cultural, natural and human assets are; express their opinions, ideas, needs and aspirations but also; raise concerns and highlight conflicts related to the management, conservation and preservation of the cultural heritage for future generations. Departing from the perceptions, the collective memory of what a place was to the community arises. Likewise, diverging and/or converging perspectives emerge in reference to what it is today and above all, how the community would like it to be tomorrow.</p>
