Résumé : The word macomère is widely used by women in the Caribbean to mean "my child's godmother"; "my best friend and close female confindante"; "my bridesmaid, or another female wedding member of a wedding party of which I was a bridesmaid"; "the godmother of the child to whom I am also godmother"; "the woman who, by virtue of the depth of her friendship, has rights and privileges over my child and is a surrogate mother." This name seems appropriate because it so clearly expresses the intimate relations which women in the Caribbean share, is so firmly gendered, and honors the importance of friendship in relation to the important rituals of marriage, birth, and (implied) death. Moreover, macomère is a French Creole word which, although related to the French language, has taken on a structure and meaning which is indigenous to the Caribbean. The word is spelled in this way, instead of in the clearly Creole manner (macumè, makumeh, macoomè, macomeh, and many other variants), so that the female connotations of the word are highlighted and those meanings which apply to males ("a womanish or gossipy man"; "a homosexual") are less obvious. In those islands where Krèol (linguistic term for the French patos) is the first language, the same term is used for both females and males with meaning determined by the context. In islands such as Trinidad, however, where English has overlain Krèol, the Creole (linguistic term for the English patois) has incorporated the redundant my macomè and macomè man, thus reinforcing both the perceptions of intimacy and the female quality of the term. Interestingly enough, Richard Allsopp in The Dictionary of Caribbean English Usage (Oxford University Press, 1996) has indicated the possibility that maku in Belize, with the meaning "midwife", is also derived from macomère. Hence, the word forces us to recall the continuities and correspondences in Caribbean languages and cultures, as well as the dynamic, creative, and transforming power of Creoles. In the purely English-speaking islands, the only comparable term is godmother (usually the mother's best friend). In the Hispanophone Caribbean, there is the similar comadre, although, as we would expect, some of the connotations are different. Join us in continuing to interrogate all the connotations of the meaning inherent in this culturally rich lexical item from the Caribbean Creoles.

Langoustes et scyllares des petites Antilles
Auteur(s) : Morice, Jean

Éditeur(s) : ISTPM
Résumé : Crayfishing is not particularly organized in the French islands as their population is not fond of large crustaceans. However, young crayfishes, about the size of the European scampi are ordered by rich Creoles for receptions or family gatherings. But lobsters, heavier than 0.750 to 1 kilo are eaten only by Europeans.Any fisherman who is asked to provide 10 kilos of crayfish catches them very quickly with a brass snare or a hook placed underneath the rocks. Some artisans gather the crustaceans in large rectangular baskets made of wire mesh and called "gardes", to wait for the potential customer. There is no specific pot for this type of fishing whereas Creole wicker makers worked hard on the creation of tools both complex and difficult to make to catch small morays; a fish which does not have a great commercial value.Consequently, it is impossible to precisely assess the importance of the exploitable large crustacean stock based on the catches of the Creole fishermen. If the performances of some crayfish boats from Douarnenez, using Mauritanian nets on the banks of St-Martin, can be considered as extremely satisfactory, it is not the case of other attempts. A whole study has to be undertaken. This note is only the beginning of a larger work focusing on the natural history of the crayfishes and Spanish lobsters in the waters of the arc of the Petites Antilles.
La pêche des langoustes n'est pas spécialement organisée dans les îles françaises, la population n'étant que peu friande de gros crustacés. Toutefois de jeunes langoustes, de la taille de la langoustine européenne sont commandées aux pêcheurs par les riches créoles, à l'occasion de réceptions ou de fêtes familiales; mais les « homards») dépassant le poids de 0,750 à 1 kilo sont consommés seulement par les Européens. Le pêcheur. auquel on demande de fournir 10 kilos de langoustes, les capture rapidement au collet de laiton ou au crochet sous les cayes, Certains artisans rassemblent les crustacés dans de grandes nasses rectangulaires de grillage métallique, appelées « gardes », en attendant l'acheteur éventuel. Il n'existe pas de type de casier spécial à cette pêche, alors que les vanniers créoles se sont ingéniés, par exemple, à créer des engins compliqués et difficiles à construire pour capturer les petites murènes appelées « moringues » qui n'ont pourtant que peu de valeur commerciale. Il est donc impossible de se faire une idée précise de l'importance du stock de gros crustacés exploitable en se basant sur les apports des pêcheurs créoles. Si les rendements de certains langoustiers douarnenistes, travaillant au filet mauritanien sur les bancs de St-Martin, ont pu être considérés comme extrêmement satisfaisants, il n'en est pas de même à propos d'autres tentatives. Il y a là toute une étude à entreprendre. Cette note n'est que le début d'un travail concernant l'histoire naturelle des langoustes et scyllares des eaux de l'arc des Petites Antilles.
