A yard filled with steel drums waiting to be made into steel pan instruments in Trinidad ; The Bryant Slides Collection ; The Bryant Slides Collection, Trinidad Auteur(s) : Unknown ( Photographer ) Résumé : The slides were taken on collecting trips sponsored by the William L. Bryant Foundation, where books, music and art indigenous to the regions were gathered. The are organized by geographical location. Steel pan music, which evolved from African drum music, originated in Trinidad and Tobago in the early 20th century and is often a featured instrument during Carnival. As one of the national emblems of Trinidad and Tobago, steel pans were traditionally made from used steel oil drums or steel containers. The container’s head is concave and the playing surface is divided into convex sections by slants to make the pan's range of sounds. In this image are used steel oil drums, some steel pans with the Shell Oil Company logo and the word "Invaders," painted white metal steel pan stands, and breadfruit trees. One poster is advertising the Shell Invaders Steel Orchestra. Other signs includes phrases such as: "We are the greatest" and "Notice there is to be no unnecessary coasting in the yard." In the background is a woman standing on top of a concrete building's roof with laudry and men standing near the wall. Slide labeled Trin. 16.

The annual carnival in Guadeloupe (French West Indies) is associated with an increase in the number of conceptions and subsequent births nine months later: 2000 - 2011 Auteur(s) : Kadhel, Philippe Costet, Nathalie Toto, Teddy Janky, Eustase Multigner, Luc Auteurs secondaires : Institut de recherche, santé, environnement et travail [Rennes] (Irset) ; Université d'Angers (UA) - Université des Antilles et de la Guyane (UAG) - Université de Rennes 1 (UR1) - École des Hautes Études en Santé Publique [EHESP] (EHESP) - Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale (INSERM) - Structure Fédérative de Recherche en Biologie et Santé de Rennes ( Biosit : Biologie - Santé - Innovation Technologique ) Service de gynécologie-obstétrique ; Université des Antilles et de la Guyane (UAG) - CHU Pointe à Pitre Éditeur(s) : HAL CCSD Public Library of Science Résumé : International audience The seasonal patterns of conceptions and births differ between geographic areas. Several potential determinants of this variation have been identified, including biological, environmental and behavioral elements, but festive events are rarely mentioned. We investigated the possible association between the carnival and seasonal fertility variations in the French West Indies. We ran a retrospective registry-based study. The data were extracted from the registry of all births on Guadeloupe between 2000 and 2011 (n = 74,412), and from the Maternity Birth Register of the University Hospital, for all pregnancies of at least 14 completed weeks of gestation (observable conceptions) with an outcome recorded between 2007 and 2010 (n = 8,425). We compared data during and outside the carnival period for each year, including 2009, when there was no carnival due to a 44-day general strike. In all years other than 2009, the weekly number of births was higher for pregnancies initiated during the carnival period than for pregnancies initiated at other times, and the weekly number of observable conceptions was higher during the carnival period than at other times. Our findings support the hypothesis that carnivals in the French West Indies are associated with an increase in the number of conceptions and subsequent births.

Tourism in Trinidad and Tobago: The Evolving Attitudes and Behaviors and its Implications in an Era of HIV/AIDS Epidemic Auteur(s) : A. George, Annette Richards, Darlington Éditeur(s) : Université des Antilles Études caribéennes Résumé : The Caribbean has always been viewed as a tourist attraction for pleasure seeking individuals. Over several years, there has been evolved a rather intimate and interactive relationship between visitors and their hosts. The culmination of which is the rather romantic fascination of tourists toward locals in many Caribbean destinations. This is not a new phenomenon, as this pattern is one that evolved at the advent of tourism in the region. Economic and social factors are some of the competing contributors to this phenomenon.It would appear that with the increased influx of tourists in Caribbean destinations, that an astronomical increase in the reported cases of HIV/AIDS and other sexually related transmitted diseases are also witnessed. Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) is amongst the worst exposed in the Caribbean outside of the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Latest reports by the UNAIDS indicates that the number of reported cases in T&T has reached unprecedented levels (over 20,000 in 2009) and continues to increase. This study looks critically at the extent to which tourism and other related leisure activities including carnival, and the cultural diffusion it brings may be contributing to this epidemic. It is also hoped that this study will try to articulate possible suggestions to contain what is increasingly leading to a myriad of cultural, social and economic challenges for the country. Les Caraïbes ont toujours exercé un attrait touristique sur les personnes en quête de plaisir. Depuis plusieurs années, il a été développé une relation plutôt intime et interactif entre les visiteurs et leurs hôtes dont le point culminant est la fascination plutôt romantique des touristes envers de nombreuses destinations dans les Caraïbes. Il ne s’agit pas d’un phénomène nouveau, ce phénomène repose sur des facteurs économiques et sociaux concurrents. Il convient de s’interroger sur les relations entre que l'afflux croissant de touristes dans ces destinations caribéennes et l'augmentation considérable des cas de VIH/sida et autres maladies sexuellement transmissibles. Trinité-et-Tobago (T & T) est l'une des destinations les plus exposées au sein de la Caraïbe. Les derniers rapports de l'ONUSIDA indiquent que le nombre de cas signalés de T & T a atteint des niveaux sans précédent (plus de 20.000 en 2009) et continue d'augmenter. Cette étude porte un regard critique sur les corrélations établies entre le tourisme et les autres activités de loisirs connexes, comme le carnaval, et la diffusion culturelle pourrait contribuer à cette épidémie. Cette étude vise à articuler des suggestions possibles pour répondre à la myriade de défis culturels, sociaux et économiques) à laquelle est exposé le pays.

Patrimoine culturel festif et tourisme : une interaction en question : Quelle stratégie pour la Martinique, la Guadeloupe et la Guyane ? Auteur(s) : Nicolas-Bragance, Fabiola Auteurs secondaires : Antilles-Guyane Saffache, Pascal Résumé : La valorisation du patrimoine culturel, matériel et immatériel, trouve sa justification en tant que vecteur de différenciation, dans un contexte où le seul modèle touristique de type fordiste ne fait plus recette. Ce patrimoine dans lequel l’homme place du subjectif, des référents culturels et affectifs, voire même des symboles, serait donc à considérer comme une ressource, un vecteur de distinction des territoires, tant il est pourvoyeur d’authenticité. Ainsi, lorsqu’il joue un rôle de marqueur identitaire, le patrimoine peut-être mobilisé par les acteurs impliqués dans le développement local qui ont le souci de se démarquer et de mettre en avant leurs ressources les plus spécifiques, à des fins de développement économique.Les ressources culturelles festives, à l’image des carnavals antillais et guyanais et du Tour des yoles rondes de la Martinique, en plus de montrer un lien entre une identité locale, des traditions et un lieu, confèrent de la lisibilité et de la transparence aux territoires qu’elles investissent. Les fêtes locales sont, en effet, des formes spatiales vectrices de territorialité qui donnent à voir des formes d’enracinement et d’attachement aux lieux. C’est d’ailleurs la « cristallisation collective » (Jeudy, 2008) qui se joue autour de ces manifestations patrimoniales festives, qui contribue à leur conférer de la consistance ainsi qu’une non négligeable valeur marchande. A n’en point douter, elles ont la faculté d’établir la Guadeloupe, la Martinique et la Guyane dans le cadre de la distinction, de l’attractivité et de la compétitivité. Néanmoins, n’est ce point utopique de croire, que la valorisation du patrimoine culturel festif des départements étudiés pourrait significativement participer à asseoir la pérennisation du tourisme ? En effet, l’organisation de la fête, surtout lorsqu’elle a une dimension identitaire poussée à son paroxysme, peut conduire au repli d’une société localisée sur elle-même. Partant de ce postulat, la rencontre entre touristes et populations locales peut s’avérer compromise, alors même que ces manifestations culturelles disposent de nombreux atouts à même de satisfaire un public touristique en quête d’authenticité et de vacances divertissantes. Cette rencontre est-elle souhaitée par les uns et les autres ? Est-elle seulement souhaitable ? Le patrimoine culturel festif peut-il sous-tendre une vraie activité touristique, tout en demeurant le garant d’une certaine stabilité sociale ? La prudence ne voudrait-elle pas qu’il faille plutôt craindre la menace qui pèse sur les biens culturels devenus trop rapidement des produits touristiques ?En réalité, les relations sont complexes entre une culture mise en fête et le développement du secteur touristique. Faut-il pour autant les considérer comme un « pari de l’inutile » (Lazzarotti, 2011) ?Le tourisme doit continuer à se penser comme un secteur économique indispensable au développement local, dans une perspective de durabilité. C’est d’ailleurs à ce titre que le volet social du développement durable trouve sa place au cœur même de notre réflexion, tant il constitue une composante majeure de ce que devrait être un produit touristique attractif et adapté aux substrats locaux. C’est ainsi que cette thèse explore et approfondit la problématique de la mise en relation entre un secteur touristique à pérenniser, et le riche patrimoine culturel festif dont disposent la Martinique, la Guadeloupe et la Guyane. Ce travail de recherche poussent encore un peu plus loin la réflexion autour du développement de pratiques touristiques renouvelées et durables. Enhancement of cultural heritage, both tangible and intangible, is justified as a vector of differentiation, in a context where the only tourist Fordist model no longer recipe. Heritage in which man instead of subjective, cultural and emotional referents and even symbols, would be regarded as a resource, a vector distinction territories, as it is provider of authenticity. Thus, when a role marker of identity , heritage can be mobilized by the actors involved in local development that have the desire to stand out and highlight their most specific resources for economic development purposes . festive cultural resources, like the Caribbean and Guyanese carnivals and Tour round skiffs from Martinique, in addition to showing a link between a local identity, traditions and place , give the clarity and transparency territories they invest . Local festivals are indeed of vector spatial forms of territoriality that give rooting see shapes and place attachment. This is also the "collective crystallization" (Jeudy, 2008) that plays around these festive heritage demonstrations, which helps give them substance and a significant market value. A no doubt, they have the ability to establish Guadeloupe, Martinique and Guyana as part of the award, the attractiveness and competitiveness. However, this is unrealistic enough to believe that the enhancement of cultural heritage festive departments surveyed could significantly participate in sit sustainability of tourism? Indeed, the organization of the party, especially when it has a dimension of identity pushed to its limits, can lead to the decline of localized on society itself. Based on this assumption, the encounter between tourists and local populations may be compromised, even though these cultural events have many assets to satisfy even a tourist public in search of authenticity and fun holiday. This meeting it is desired by each other? Is it just desirable? The festive cultural heritage may underlie it a real tourist activity, while remaining a guarantor of social stability? Prudence does not she want that rather we should fear the threat to cultural property became too quickly tourism products? Actually, relationships are complex between a culture festival setting and development of the tourism sector. Should we all be regarded as a "bet the useless" (Lazzarotti, 2011)? Tourism must continue to think as an essential local economic development sector, with a view to sustainability. It is also for this reason that the social pillar of sustainable development finds its place at the heart of our thinking, as it is a major component of what should be an attractive tourism product adapted to local substrates. Thus this thesis explores and deepens the problem of linking between tourism to sustain, and the rich cultural heritage festive available Martinique, Guadeloupe and Guyana. This research push a little further reflection on the development of tourism practices renewed and sustained. http://www.theses.fr/2013AGUY0703 | Partager |
