Résumé : (Acquisition) Collected for University of Florida's Institutional Repository by the UFIR Self-Submittal tool. Submitted by Margarita Vargas-Betancourt.
This paper was part of the panel Panama Silver and the Making of Modern Literature, which introduced a collaborative, digital humanities course entitled “Panama Silver, Asian Gold: Migration, Money, and the Making of Modern Caribbean Literature,” and illuminated the significance of West Indians in Panama for the formation of Caribbean literature. The panelists designed and taught the course at Amherst College, the University of Florida, and the University of Miami. In the first paper in this panel, Rhonda Cobham-Sander articulated the overarching goal of the course; namely, that these two, closely related migrations were critical to the development of the Caribbean middle class, political nationalism, and national literatures. In the second paper, Leah Rosenberg outlined primary historical and literary sources on West Indians in Panama now available in the Digital Library of the Caribbean (www.dloc.com) and discussed how this supports collaboration in teaching and research. In the third paper, Margarita Vargas-Betancourt discussed the challenges of finding archival materials concerning West Indians in Panama in, U.S.-oriented archives (which we are using in the course). In the final paper, Donette Francis demonstrated the implications of positioning Panama Silver, the capital accumulated by West Indians, as critical to shaping modern Caribbean literature by reexamining Salkey’s understudied 1971 novel, The Late Emancipation of Jerry Stover.

Résumé : The literature has identified a set of factors explaining the accumulation of capital. However, little attention has been paid to the impact of cultural beliefs. This paper, based on economic science, uses data collected from 207 haitian formal sector firms to develop and test a model of capital accumulation integrating socio-cultural traits, including life in the present moment, fatalism, primacy of the hereafter and mutual assistance. The results reveal that the primacy of the beyond, life in the present moment and mutual aid have negative and significant impacts on accumulation of capital. And, fatalism has positive and significant effects on this variable.
La littérature a identifié un ensemble de facteurs expliquant l'accumulation du capital. Cependant, les travaux ne se sont que très peu intéressés à l'impact des croyances culturelles. Ce papier, relevant de la science économique, utilise des données collectées auprès de 207 entreprises du secteur formel haïtien pour élaborer et tester un modèle d'accumulation du capital intégrant des traits socioculturels, notamment la vie dans l'instant présent, le fatalisme, la primauté de l'au-delà et l'entraide mutuelle. Les résultats révèlent que la primauté de l'au-delà, la vie dans l'instant présent et l'entraide mutuelle ont des impacts négatifs et significatifs sur l'accumulation du capital. En revanche, le fatalisme a des effets positifs et significatifs sur cette variable. Mots clés. Accumulation du capital, croyances, traits socioculturels.

Résumé : Total lipid content and lipid class composition were analyzed in gonads, liver and white muscle of yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) throughout ovary development to understand its reproductive allocation strategy and to assess the relation between female condition and reproduction. A total of 112 females were collected onboard purse-seiner in the Western Indian Ocean from January to March 2009, from June to July 2009, and from April to May 2010. Gonads were characterized by highly variable total lipid contents ranging from 5 to 27 μg mg−1 of wet weight (ww) with a predominance of neutral lipids, mainly triacylglycerols (TAG) and sterol- and wax-esters. The different lipid classes in gonads described an accumulative pattern through the maturity process from immature to hydration phase. Total lipid content in liver varied from 10 to 21 μg mg−1 ww, and serves as fuel for yellowfin tuna reproduction. TAG and phospholipid deposits became depleted as the ovary developed, suggesting a transfer of lipids directly from liver to the oocytes during vitellogenesis. In contrast, muscle total lipid content was low and constant throughout ovarian development (2.5–6 μg mg−1 ww). Hence, yellowfin tuna can be defined as an income-capital breeder species for which the cost of reproduction depends mainly on concurrent energy income from feeding and only little on stored lipids. Besides, no significant relationship between gonad lipid composition and fecundity was found in females able to spawn. Finally, the influence of yellowfin tuna aggregation behaviour on reproductive female condition has been investigated: gonad total lipid contents were higher in females caught in free-swimming schools than in females caught under fish aggregating devices (FADs). However, these results did not clarify whether the influence of FADs on associated yellowfin tuna affects their reproductive capacity.

Résumé : L’article présente comment les enjeux et les relations socioéconomiques qui sous-tendent la construction des discours sur le développement touristique influencent les pratiques matérielles dans le processus d’appropriation des territoires. Il soutient que les jeux de pouvoir, les valeurs et les croyances constituent un ensemble de relations fabriquant les discours des différents groupes et classes dans un territoire touristique. Ces discours modèlent, à travers des pratiques matérielles, l’espace touristique. Il démontre que l’enchevêtrement de ces relations complexe dans l’étude de cas réalisé sur l’Île-à-Vache. En fait, le « confort existentiel » que recherche le touriste y joue un rôle essentiel. Il influence le discours hégémonique des acteurs dominants et dicte les décisions d’aménagement des destinations touristiques. Dans le cadre de la production et de la mise en tourisme de l’Île-à-Vache, il permet d’expliquer le mécanisme des d’accumulation capitalistique par dépossession dans le processus de développement géographique inégal.
The article shows how the socio-economic relations that underlie the construction of discourse on tourism development influence the material practices in the space appropriation process. It argues that the power, values, and beliefs are a set of discourses of different groups and classes in a tourist area. These discourses shape, through material practices, the tourism space. It illustrate the entanglement of these complex relationships through the case study conducted on Île-à-Vache. In fact, the "existential comfort" that the tourist research plays a vital role. It influences the hegemonic discourse of the dominant players and dictate management decisions of the tourist destinations. As part of the production and the development of tourism Île-à-Vache, it helps to explain the mechanism of capital accumulation by dispossession in the uneven geographical development process.
