Description : Emmanuel NOSSIN, éthno-pharmacologue (réseau TRAMIL), le rôle de la forêt dans l'élaboration des plantes alexitères (qui soignent les morsures de serpents). L'herbier alexitère permet d'appréhender l'exceptionnalité de l'espace forestier martiniquais. E. Nossin explique l'importance du contexte culturel spécifique de cette médication. Il introduit les « Panseurs de serpent », une caste de nègres à part, qui ne travaillaient pas dans les champs. Jouissant d'une liberté de mouvement en pleine période d'esclavage, ils préparaient leurs remèdes. Puis il présente une suite de plantes alexitères, espèces forestières en majorité.

Description : Cheryl White présente son étude sur la conservation des terres ancestrales des marrons au Surinam. Les marrons vivent principalement de l'agriculture de subsistance, de la chasse et de la pêche. En 2007, la Cour Interaméricaine des Droits de l'Homme (CIDH) présente une résolution contre le gouvernement du Surinam sur le cas du peuple Saramaka. La CIDH est en faveur de la gestion de l'identité socioculturelle des Marrons. Comment articuler les directives politiques intégrant les Marrons au témoignage oral, à la recherche ethnographique contemporaine, à la recherche archéologique, aux connaissances ethno médicinale et la préservation des actifs incorporels culturelle ? Comment identifier, enquêter, délimiter, vérifier, cataloguer, diffuser et institutionnaliser la culture matérielle pour la préservation des terres ancestrales Marrons et les intérêts du gouvernement du Surinam ?

Description : Toujours dans le cadre du colloque organisé en hommage à Edouard GLISSANT, Hugues AZERAD, spécialiste en littérature comparative, aborde la créolisation. Il explique sur quoi se base Edouard GLISSANT pour affirmer la beauté de la créolisation. Celle-ci constitue une rencontre de plusieurs cultures donnant lieu à un métissage. Retracé dans les régions d'Amérique, ce mélange a tenu compte de plusieurs contextes : colonial, postcolonial ; et a favorisé d'une part des échanges progressistes entre les cultures dominantes et dominées et d'autre part, l'interculturation des ethnies.

Résumé : International audience
Experimental approach of the pre-Columbian navigation in the Antilles. Understanding the navigation capacities of the Eastern Caribbean pre-Columbian population is crucial for the community working in the Antilles. We have chosen to focus our work on an experimental approach of these techniques. Our ambition was to set up an experimental program including all the aspects associated with the building and the utilization of the kanawa. Thus, we have conducted an ethno-archaeological study of the kanawa building process followed by the Kali'ña from French Guyana. Then, the « Akayouman » kanawa was made into a 3D model to support a hydrostatic analyse. Finally, the heart of the project was composed of gathering and studying the data collected during our expeditions in the kanawa.
La comprensión de las capacidades de navegación de las poblaciones precolombinas del Caribe Oriental es actualmente fundamental para la comunidad que trabaja en las Antillas. Hemos optado por centrar nuestro trabajo en una practica experimental de estas técnicas. Nuestra ambición era crear un programa de experimentación que incluye todos los aspectos asociados a la construcción y la utilización de las kanawa. Por lo tanto, hemos realizado un estudio etnoarqueológica del proceso de construcción de las kanawa seguido por los Kali'na de Guyana Francesa. Entonces, la kanawa « Akayouman » ha sido modelizado en 3D para apoyar un estudio hidrostático. Por fin, el corazón del proyecto está constituido por la recopilación y el estudio de los datos recogidos durante nuestras expediciones .
Devenue plus centrale au cours des dernières années, la question des capacités de navigation des populations amérindiennes n'est pas nouvelle dans l'archéologie antillaise. Nous avons choisi de principalement concentrer nos efforts sur une approche expérimentale de ces techniques. Notre ambition était de mettre en place un programme d'expérimentation prenant en compte les différents aspects liés à la construction et à l'utilisation des kanawa. Nous avons donc mené une étude ethnoarchéologique de la chaîne opératoire de construction des kanawa mise en place par les artisans kali'ña en Guyane française. Puis, une fois produite, la kanawa « Akayouman » a fait l'objet d'une modélisation numérique 3D qui a servi de support à une analyse hydrostatique. Enfin, le coeur du projet a été constitué par la collecte et le traitement des données issues de notre programme de navigation.

Résumé : Cette étude originale a vocation à montrer comment un mysticisme authentique s’est formé au fil des siècles en Guadeloupe. Les Antilles sont composées de nombreuses ethnies, aux origines très diversifiées. En Guadeloupe, la société s’est constituée à partir de deux vagues de migrations, qui ont formé une société pluri-ethnique et pluri-culturelle. Ces vagues de migrations se sont inscrites dans un double processus de mondialisation, l’un historique, figé dans le temps, l’autre dynamique, encore effectif de nos jours. La confrontation et la cohabitation de ces ethnies et de ces cultures ont conduit à l’avènement de pratiques mystiques authentiquement guadeloupéennes. Ainsi, le mysticisme est devenu partie prenante de la culture guadeloupéenne, culture encore en construction, qui n’a pas encore soudé en un syncrétisme franc les pratiques des différentes communautés ; chaque individu choisissant, en fonction de ses nécessités, de se référer ou d’appliquer telle ou telle pratique mystique.
This study shows how an authentic mysticism arose in Guadeloupe. The West Indies are made up of many ethnic groups. In Guadeloupe, the society has been constituted by two waves of migrations; so far this society has been pluri-ethnic and pluri-cultural. Those waves reveal a two dimension globalization: the first is historical, likely to be identified in our history, the second is dynamic and is still expanding nowadays. The cohabitation of these ethnic groups and these cultures has led to the creation of an authentic Guadeloupean mysticism. Thus mysticism is important in the Guadeloupean culture. However there has not been syncretism between all the mysticisms of every ethnic group; and every one can choose the mysticism they want, and change whenever they want.

Résumé : International audience
Two genome-wide association studies (GWASs) recently highlighted the HLA-DRA and HLA-DRB5 genes as associated with Parkinson disease (PD). However, because HLA-DRA displays a low level of polymorphisms and HLA-DRB5 is only present in approximately 20% of the population, these findings are difficult to interpret. Our aims were: (1) to replicate and investigate in greater detail the association between PD and the HLA-DR region; (2) to identify PD-associated HLA alleles; and (3) to perform a meta-analysis of our top finding. As part of 2 French population-based case-control studies of PD including highly ethnically homogeneous participants, we investigated the association between PD and 51 Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the HLA-DR region. HLA-DRB1 alleles were imputed using the HLA(*) IMP software. HLA typing was performed in a subsample of the participants. We performed a meta-analysis of our top finding based on 4 GWAS data sets. Among 499 cases and 1123 controls, after correction for multiple testing, we found an association with rs660895 (OR/minor allele, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.57-0.87) within the HLA-DRB1 gene, which encodes the most polymorphic HLA-DR chain (DRβ). A meta-analysis (7996 cases, 36455 controls) confirmed this association (OR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.82-0.91; P < .0001). SNP-based imputation of HLA alleles showed an inverse association between PD and the HLA-DRB1(*) 04 allele. We replicated an association between PD and the HLA-DR region and provided further insight into the loci and alleles involved. The highly polymorphic HLA-DRB1 locus contains rs660895, which represents a more legitimate candidate than previous ones. Our finding is in agreement with the hypothesis of an immune component in PD pathophysiology. © 2012 Movement Disorder Society.

Résumé : International audience
The status of ethnic minority has been reported to be associated with a tendency toward sedentary behavior. The Guadeloupean population is composed of Afro-Caribbeans and an Asian Indian minority. This study examined the association of ethnicity and physical activity on the island. Energy expenditures (EE), energy intakes (EI), and macronutrient intakes of 122 Guadeloupean workers (60 Indians and 62 controls) were assessed by three consecutive 24-h recalls. Two-way analyses of variance were conducted to test the hypothesis of an effect of ethnicity, taking the potential effect of sex into account, on these variables. Asian Indians reported lower EE (P=0.011), lower EE/EI ratios (P=0.001), and lower physical activity (P=0.003) than their Afro-Carribean counterparts. Their food intakes were not different in terms of EI or macronutrient intake. No sex × ethnicity interactions were significant. The present study reports a tendency toward physical inactivity in Asian Indians of Guadeloupe associated with EI similar to those of controls. Sedentary lifestyles and energetic imbalances are well-documented risk factors for several diseases, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, both major public health concerns in Guadeloupe. Strategies to prevent sedentary lifestyles should be considered for Asian Indian Guadeloupeans.

Résumé : International audience
Background: Adolescent obesity is prevalent in Pacific region ethnic groups (European, Melanesian and Polynesian) living in both urban and rural areas. Although body perception is an important factor of weight gain or loss, little is known about the body self-perceptions of Pacific region adolescents. This study therefore evaluated adolescent perceptions of body weight according to ethnicity (European, Melanesian or Polynesian), socioeconomic status (low, intermediate or high) and living area (rural or urban) in New Caledonia.Methods: Sociodemographic and anthropomorphic data from 737 adolescents (351 boys and 386 girls) with ages ranging from 11 to 16 years were collected and analysed. The International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) standards were used to define weight status as normal-weight, underweight or overweight/obese. Weight perception was assessed from detailed questionnaires, with adolescents rating their own weight with the following descriptors: 'about the right weight', 'too heavy', or 'too light'.Results: Results showed that only 8.5% of normal-weight adolescents (7% boys and 10% girls) identifying themselves as ‘too heavy’. Normal-weight Melanesian adolescents were less likely than their European counterparts to assess themselves as too heavy (OR = 0.357). However, half the overweight/obese adolescents underestimated their weight status (53% boys and 48% girls). Weight misperception was associated with ethnicity, socioeconomic status and living area, with gender-specific differences.Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that these sociodemographic factors should be taken into account when designing public health policies and health education school programmes in New Caledonia and, more broadly, the Pacific regio

Résumé : International audience
Aim of the study: A knowledge attitude and practice study centred on leishmaniasis and its treatment was performed among the Chayahuita, an Amazonian Peruvian ethnic group living in an endemic area. This study documents traditional Chayahuita plant's use and disease concepts. Also, activty of some medicinal plants used by the Chayahuita is highlighted and discussed. Materials and methods: Ninety-three Chayahuita people were interviewed, following a semi-structured questionnaire focussed on disease knowledge and perception, personal attitude and healing practices. Simultaneously, a collection of plants was performed in different ecotopes, in order to make an extensive inventory of the pharmacopoeia. Results: For the Chayahuita, cutaneous (CL) and muco-cutaneous leishmaniasis (MCL) are considered as diseases of their own, with specific names, aetiologies, mode of transmission. Regarding CL, Chayahuita people consider that the humid characteristic of the skin ulcer is a discriminative fact orienting the diagnostic forTa'ta' (leishmaniasis). Forty-six different species were designated useful against LC and /or MCL (29 species by means of the questionnaire and 27 species when collecting in different ecotopes). Thirty-seven extracts corresponding to 31 species used medicinally were screened in vitro against Leishmania amnzonensis axenic amastigotes, assessing their viability by the reduction of tetrazolium salt (MTT). Six species displayed a good activity ( 10 μg/ml < IC50 < 20 μg/ml): an undetermined hemi-epiphytic Clusiaceae, Cyhianthus anthuriophyllus Pipoly (Myrsinaceae), two Piper, Piper sanguineispicum Trel., and Piper loretoanum Trel. (Piperaceae), Desmodium axillare Sw. DC. (Fabaceae), and Clibadium sylvestre (Aubl.) Baill. (Asteraceae). Conclusion: Perception of leishmaniasis, attitude, treatments and diet prohibitions still largely reflects traditional Chayahuita cosmovision, even if some tentative of bio-medical re-interpretation is arising.

Résumé : International audience
Prostate cancer disparities have been reported in men of African descent who show the highest incidence, mortality, compared with other ethnic groups. Few studies have explored the genetic and environmental factors for prostate cancer in men of African ancestry. The glutathione-S-transferases family conjugates carcinogens before their excretion and is expressed in prostate tissue. This study addressed the role of GSTM1 and GSTT1 deletions on prostate cancer risk in populations of African descent. This multi-institutional case-control study gathered data from the Genetic Susceptibility to Environmental Carcinogens (GSEC) database, the African-Caribbean Cancer Consortium (AC3) and Men of African Descent and Carcinoma of the Prostate Consortium (MADCaP). The analysis included 10 studies (1715 cases and 2363 controls), five in African-Americans, three in African-Caribbean and two in African men. Both the GSTM1 and the GSTT1 deletions showed significant inverse associations with prostate cancer [odds ratio (OR): 0.90, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.83-0.97 and OR 0.88, 95% CI: 0.82-0.96, respectively]. The association was restricted to Caribbean and African populations. A significant positive association was observed between GSTM1 deletion and prostate cancer in smokers in African-American studies (OR: 1.28, 95% CI: 1.01-1.56), whereas a reduced risk was observed in never-smokers (OR: 0.66, 95% CI: 0.46-0.95). The risk of prostate cancer increased across quartiles of pack-years among subjects carrying the deletion of GSTM1 but not among subjects carrying a functional GSTM1. Gene-environment interaction between smoking and GSTM1 may be involved in the etiology of prostate cancer in populations of African descent.

Résumé : International audience
This paper deals with educational language policy in the French overseas department of Guiana regarding the introduction of regional languages and cultures in school. It provides analyzes of recent official discourses of the Educational institution, of ordinary discourses of different social actors as well as a critical insight into the school's and future teachers' curricula. Taking into account sociolinguistic results in French Guiana, we discuss two main points in the present policy: the distinction drawn between regional languages and other languages and the distinction drawn between so-called “heterogeneous” and ethnically and linguistically “homogenous” schools.
Cet article traite de la politique linguistique éducative actuellement en vigueur en Guyane Française concernant la prise en compte des langues et cultures régionales dans ce département d'Outre Mer. Au travers d'une analyse des discours officiels de l'institution scolaire, des différentes actions mises en place dernièrement et des discours ordinaires des enseignants sur le terrain, il interroge les politiques actuellement en œuvre. S'appuyant sur des résultats d'enquêtes sociolinguistiques et sur un point de vue didactique, il critique un traitement doublement différencié : entre certaines langues « dites régionales » depuis leur mention dans le rapport Cerquiglini et les autres, et entre des publics scolaires dits « hétérogènes » et ceux considérés comme ethniquement et linguistiquement « homogènes ».
