Scenario : une revue consacrée à la performativité dans l’enseignement, l’apprentissage et la recherche
Fondée en 2007, SCENARIO est une revue scientifique à comité de lecture, consacrée aux approches performatives dans l’enseignement, l’apprentissage et la recherche.
Afin de toucher un lectorat le plus large possible, SCENARIO publie principalement des articles en anglais comme lingua franca internationale. Toutefois, grâce à l’expertise de ses co-éditeurs/co-éditrices et des éditeurs/ éditrices invité.es représentant d’autres langues, les auteur.es ont également la possibilité de soumettre leurs contributions en allemand (depuis 2007), en italien (depuis 2023) et en français (depuis 2025).
SCENARIO s’intéresse en priorité aux langues étrangères ou secondes et aux cultures qui leur sont associées, mais la revue demeure ouverte à d’autres disciplines et pratiques pédagogiques, dès lors qu’elles portent sur des approches performatives dans l’enseignement, l’apprentissage et la recherche.
La revue constitue le pilier central du Projet Scenario qui publie également une collection d’ouvrages et offre la possibilité d’organiser des conférences, des symposiums et des colloques. Pour de plus amples informations concernant les manifestations et initiatives destinées à promouvoir l’échange et la collaboration internationale, veuillez consulter le site du Projet Scenario : https://www.ucc.ie/en/scenario/.
SCENARIO est une revue en accès libre, ce qui signifie que l’ensemble de son contenu est disponible gratuitement, sans frais pour l’utilisateur ou son institution. Les utilisateurs sont autorisés à lire, télécharger, copier, distribuer, imprimer, rechercher ou créer des liens vers les textes intégraux des articles, ou encore à les utiliser à toute autre fin légale, sans qu’il soit nécessaire de solliciter au préalable l’autorisation de l’éditeur ou de l’auteur. Cette politique est conforme à la définition du libre accès tel que formulée par la BOAI.
En 2024, le Projet Scenario s’est vu décerner le Prix de la recherche pour la science ouverte 2023 par University College Cork. Il a aussi reçu le Prix pour contribution exceptionnelle au domaine de l'édition en libre accès en Irlande qui lui a été attribué par l’Irish Open Access Publishers (IOAP).

Quarryman
Quarryman is the student-run literary journal of University College Cork. It features poetry and prose by students, staff and alumni of UCC, and is run by UCC’s Literature Society.
Emerging from an earlier culture of student magazines, including a predecessor called Q.C.C., Volume I of The Quarryman was published in 1913. That name was abandoned in favour of The Chronic in 1919; this was dropped yet again for The Locker in 1924. Then it seems there was no magazine until March 1929 when the students of UCC revived the old Quarryman name.
This new Quarryman, which took an increasingly literary approach from at least the 1950s, was a gem among student publications. Some of the finest writing talent to come out of UCC were involved in the running of it or were published in it. Thomas McCarthy gives more on the history of Quarryman and the literary scene in UCC in his own words in the Editorial & Introduction of Volume I. The Boole library archives have issues dating from 1913 to 1984. However, this isn’t a continuous run as production of the magazine lapsed at various points during the 1920s, 1940s,
1950s and 1970s.
The inaugural MA in Creative Writing class of 2013/14 revived the long-dormant journal, and, beginning with Volume I in 2015, this new run was published annually through its first seven volumes, returning in 2025 with Volume VIII. -
