Résumé : This paper describes the fishing activity in Martinique, French West Indies. It draws up the balance sheet of acquirements about marine resources of the island. The difficulties of fisheries management are discussed with reference to biologists and economists works in the last ten years. We also show how management efforts to decrease fishing pressure on reef resources has induced the implantation of a new technology: the Fish Aggregating Deviee. The differing histories of development of FADs in the French West Indies are compared. The positive results from the introduction of the FADs and the estimated risks due to the transferance of fishing pressure on the continental shelf is presented. The use of FADs to enhance the exploitation of marine resources is a concept that justifies.a cooperative plan throughout the Caribbean region
A partir d'une présentation synthétique de l'activité de pêche en Martinique, cette note dresse le bilan des connaissances actuelles sur l'état des ressources halieutiques de l'île. Les difficultés de la gestion des pêches sont discutées en référence aux travaux réalisés par les halieutes et les économistes des pêches au cours des dix dernières années. On montre comment un objectif de gestion, l'allégement de la pression de pêche sur les ressources démersales, a pu conduire à l'implantation d'une nouvelle technologie: le dispositif de concentration de poissons. Les différents contextes de développement des DCP observés dans les deux départements français des Antilles sont comparés. Les retombées positives de l'introduction des dispositifs sont évaluées mais le risque d'aboutir à un report d'une partie de la puissance de pêche sur le plateau est également évoqué. L'influence du DCP sur l'exploitation des ressources halieutiques constitue un argument supplémentaire pour intensifier la coopération caribéenne sur ce thème

Résumé : The social change which takes place in the French West Indies after the Second World War ensues from a historical interactive process. It occurs between 1946 and 1961, within the frame of the new dynamic fostered in the aftermath of the war. Here we refer to the new political status of Department, the outbreak of social conflicts during the process of decolonization, the public policies and the planning of “the economic and social development” of the overseas departments. The dynamic also includes the population growth with the birth of a new generation- from the sociological point of view. The aforementioned interaction instils the new type of society emerging in the French West Indies since the 1960’s, without drastically changing their colonial social structure. This transformation named “Departmentalization” seems paradoxical because it will generate “modern” social frustrations, while maintaining existing frustrations that stemmed from the plantation society. This process led to the transition from a slave society to a consumer society. It allows us to understand the persistence of a latent social unrest in these departments, in spite of the overall significant improvement of the living conditions during the early twentieth century.
La transformation sociale des Antilles françaises qui se produit après la Seconde Guerre mondiale résulte d’un processus interactif historique. Celui-ci se produit entre 1946 et 1961 autour des nouvelles dynamiques de l’après-guerre. Il s’agit du statut départemental, de la décolonisation avec l’explosion des conflits sociaux, de la politique publique de « développement économique et social » avec la planification dans les départements d’outre-mer, et de l’accroissement démographique avec l’apparition d’une nouvelle génération « sociologique ». C’est précisément cette interaction qui est à l’origine du nouveau type de société qui émerge aux Antilles à partir des années 1960 sans pour autant que leur structure sociale coloniale ne soit bouleversée. Cette construction qui prend le nom commun de « Départementalisation » est paradoxale car elle va générer des frustrations sociales « modernes », tout en maintenant des frustrations anciennes issues de la société de plantation. En induisant ainsi le passage d’un monde d’ « habitation » à un monde de consommation, cette construction permet de comprendre un peu mieux, le maintien, au début du XXIe siècle, d’un malaise social latent dans ces départements en dépit d’une amélioration sensible et générale des conditions de vie.

Résumé : International audience
The French West Indies (F.W.I.) were French colonies with a specific legal frame until 1946 when they became French departments. Since that time the legal frame in force concerning archaeological heritage protection is exactly the same than in metropolitan France. In this system all the laws relating to cultural heritage are grouped in the "Code du Patrimoine" (Heritage code), which contains several topics such as archives, museums, archaeology and historic monuments. Some articles refer to the Penal Code, the Code of Urban Development, the Environmental Code or the Mining Code. These laws are supplemented by various decrees that define the applying conditions for different areas: rescue archeology (decree 2004-490), INRAP , advisory bodies, the content of the field reports, penal provisions, etc ... The heritage laws have been created in 1917 (Historic Monuments) and 1941 (archaeology). The law on rescue archeology is in force only since 2001 and is an application of the European Convention of Malta (1992). However, the implementation of the regulation and of the institutions in charge of is application in the French West Indies is fairly recent. In this presentation after a general presentation of the archaeological heritage protection French system we will focus on the different aspects of is application in F.W.I.: difficulties linked to the application of a system suited for metropolitan France, the level of the French West Indian people implication in the archaeological heritage protection and the future perspectives.

Résumé : International audience
The French education system remains highly centralized and only allows limited local adaptations for overseas territories. For example, if some laws (the last in 2013) allow the use of regional languages (e.g. Creole in the French West Indies) when they constitute a relevant contribution to the teaching, many official texts remain mainly based on the geographical, economical, historical, environment of the French mainland. We focus on some French BTS (Brevet de Technicien Supérieur / Advanced Technician Certificate), namely tourism and assistant manager, which are two important diplomas for the local development and in which microeconomic and management sciences plays a great part. The French BTS is a professional diploma prepared in two years after the “baccalauréat”, with national programs and evaluation criteria. The successful candidates are supposed to be immediately employable, especially in their local geographical environment. Thus, there exists a paradox between the national definition of the diploma and the local contexts of teaching. We discuss how teachers concretely deal with this situation on a day-to-day basis. Our hypothesis is that they act pragmatically, using their practical pedagogical content knowledge, without theoretical support for their action. In order to verify this hypothesis, we have conducted semi-structured interview with Guadeloupian teachers of the two aforementioned BTS. The main results shows that teachers adapt the national framework of the diploma, essentially by using local examples. This can be called a weak contextualization of the national texts. Indeed, these adaptations remain limited by fear of disadvantaging the students for the national exam. In addition, many context effects are shown, for example linked with local rules (concerning VAT, custom duties...) which are only partially taken into account by teachers. This demonstrates that the French educative system has not yet completely solved the opposition between national guideline and decentralization of the educational action.

Résumé : International audience
Understanding the formation processes of maritime archaeological sites and the maritime landscape in the French West Indies is a new challenge in underwater archaeology. This chapter presents an analysis of formation and conservation processes of maritime archaeological sites in Guadeloupe using evidence from both historical and archaeological research. Formation parameters include contemporary events associated with maritime loss and the in situ geophysical regime. Questions considered include: what natural and/or anthropogenic parameters best classify maritime sites in the context of the French West Indies landscape? And: how do these parameters vary by site location? Field-tested case studies are used to assess the archaeological potential for submerged shipwreck sites for three locational typologies within the landscape: submerged, coastal, and micro-island. Geomorphic parameters, including erosion, sea level evolution, and tectonic activity, are evaluated with regard to the formation of coastal Amerindian and colonial sites. The location of shipwrecks are primarily determined by historic patterns in commercial trade and by topographical constraints associated with accessibility, risk, and the presence of natural harbors, parameters important in the Caribbean. A unique feature of Guadeloupe is the high variability of the structure of the coastline through time. The recent discovery of numerous underwater prehistoric artifacts confirms that several islands, coastal areas, and their archaeological sites have been completely submerged or eroded since their formation. The characterization of these formation processes provides both academically interesting and practical information valuable in assessing the impact of development and urbanization in Guadeloupe’s maritime landscape.

Résumé : Le conflit social aux Antilles en 2009 a été très médiatisé en métropole où il est apparu exceptionnel, première épreuve dans le champ social susceptible de faire vaciller l’autorité d’un gouvernement jusqu’alors inflexible dans ce domaine. Au regard de l’historien, le conflit social antillais n’a rien de bien neuf. Il se glisse dans une histoire du mouvement social antillais qui reste encore un champ bien peu traité par l’histoire la plus contemporaine. Un rapide retour en arrière sur deux conflits sociaux majeurs, en 1959 et 1961, permet de resituer l’impact des pulsions sociales sur les politiques françaises pour l’outre-mer. Le regard de l’historien ici porté vient nuancer le caractère « exceptionnel » du moment 2009 et rappelle que les sorties de crise trouvées en 2009 rappellent étrangement celles retenues un demi-siècle plus tôt !
Social conflict in the West Indies in 2009 was highly publicized in France where it seemed exceptional, as a first event in the social field likely to shake the authority of a government previously inflexible in this area. In view of the historian, social conflict Caribbean has nothing new. He slips into a West Indian social history of the movement which is still a field little studied by the more contemporary history. A quick look back at two major social conflicts in 1959 and 1961 can relocate the impact of the social instincts of the French policy for overseas. The eye of the historian here has brought nuance to the "exceptional" at the time and recalls that out of the crisis in 2009 found strangely reminiscent of those used half a century ago!

Résumé : La construction historique des sociétés caribéennes est indissociable des mouvements migratoires séculaires qui les ont animées. Le cadre politico-juridique favorable aux migrations antillaises vers leur métropole rend compte de la vigueur des courants migratoires issus des territoires dépendants de la région ainsi que de leur orientation quasi-exclusive vers les métropoles. La problématique migratoire se pose en des termes différents concernant les territoires indépendants. L’analyse de trois populations caribéennes — les Portoricains, les Franco-antillais, les Haïtiens — interroge la particularité des contextes politico-institutionnels des sociétés d’origine en lien avec les modalités singulières de leur colonisation. Au regard de la remarquable diversité des statuts politiques des territoires de la Caraïbe, l’analyse du lien entre migration et fait colonial nécessite de s’interroger sur l’influence de ces derniers sur la temporalité, l’ampleur, la composition et la spatialisation des mouvements de populations.
The making of Caribbean societies is indissociable from long-term migration movements. The favourable politico-legal framework of Caribbean migrations towards their metropoles accounts for the strength of migration streams from politically dependent territories in the region. It also accounts for their spatial configuration as ‘migratory couples’. The issue is different as far as independent territories are concerned. The analysis of three Caribbean populations – Puerto Ricans, French West Indians, Haitians – questions the particularity of the politico-institutional contexts of source societies in relation with the singular modalities of their colonization. Given the remarkable diversity of political statuses in the Caribbean, the analysis of the relation between migration and the colonial history requires to question the influence of these statuses on the temporality, the scale, the composition and the spatialization of population movements.

Résumé : Chlordecone is a very persistent insecticide used in banana plantations of the French West Indies between 1972 and 1993. Chlordecone residues were found in inland water, in agricultural and freshwater products, and in marine organisms. This pollution has become of great concern in 2007. Therefore, a governmental action Plan was launched to better assess the pollution and to improve the consumer’s protection. Within this plan, 1048 samples from 69 different species of marine fishes and crustaceans were collected all around both the Guadeloupe and the Martinique Islands and analyzed. The results confirm the presence of chlordecone in marine organisms, with highly variable concentrations (from the detection limit to 1000 μg.kg-1). In 17.9 % of the samples, concentrations exceeded 20 μg.kg-1, the maximum acceptable level in fish according to the French regulation (Anon, 2008). Two main features of this contamination were characterized. 1) Because of the sedimentation of contaminated suspended soil particles, the sheltered bays are more exposed to chlordecone than the open coast where terrigenous flux are dispersed. 2) Species biology, particularly their lifestyle and diet, appear to influence contamination levels. Thus, the more contaminated species live in relation with sediment or are at high trophic level. These results have directly supported political decisions in order to prevent too high exposure of consumers to chlordecone. Fishing activities in sheltered bays have been forbidden for potentially highly contaminated species like benthic crustaceans and top predators. Further studies are under way to assess the importance of the trophic transport of chlordecone within the foodweb, and to evaluate the historical deposition of this insecticide in sediment and its further bioavailability.

Résumé : Cette thèse explore les relations entre histoire et archéologie sous-marine pour étudier le risque de perte en mer aux Petites Antilles à travers l' exemple de la Guadeloupe. Le phénomène du naufrage est envisagé comme un prisme pour aborder les aspects maritimes de l'histoire de la Guadeloupe à l' époque de la marine à voile, entre la fin du XVIIe siècle et la première moitié du XIXe siècle. L' étude repose sur un dépouillement exhaustif de la correspondance administrative et des sondages ciblés dans les archives de la Marine et de quelques-uns des principaux ports du royaume de France liés aux Antilles (Nantes, Bordeaux, Le Havre, Marseille). Le naufrage est défini à travers une étude quantitative des pertes en mer : nombre, fréquence, localisation, répartition chronologique. Cette perspective conduit à qualifier le phénomène de sériel mais marginal en comparaison avec la fréquentation maritime, ce qui n' ôte pas de son intérêt en tant que clé de lecture d'une colonie française d' Amérique et de son économie et de sa société si part iculières , entre cultures d'exportation et esclavage. Environ 550 naufrages son répertoriés en archives entre la fin du XVIIe siècle et le début du XIXe siècle, ce qui représente moins de 1 % de la fréquentation maritime de la colonie. Il s' agit d'un phénomène essentiellement côtier et portuaire lié à la survenue d'événements climatiques exceptionnels (coups de vent et ouragans). Mais, ponctuellement, d'autres causes sont mises en évidence. L'objectif est de dresser une typologie des pertes en mer s'intéressant aussi bien aux différents types de navires perdus qu'à leur fonction , leur cargaison et leur équipage. La question de la perception des risques de pertes (conditions de navigation, dangers d'échouage, aléas climatiques) est envisagée pour analyser les relations entre risques et les moyens mis en oeuvre pour en réduire l'impact. Les différentes pistes allant des premières missions à caractère hydrographique au XVIIIe siècle, aux premiers aménagements portuaires au XIXe siècle, sont étudiées pour voir si elles répondent aux risques de pertes en mer. L'étude des documents d'archives trouve une application dans l'évaluation du potentiel archéologique sous-marin de la Guadeloupe. Celui-ci est évalué à une fourchette entre 50 et 120 sites d'épaves. La lecture critique des sources propose par ailleurs des hypothèses d'identification de 5 sites sur les 15 sites d' épaves anciennes connus, permettant ainsi une vision différente de la question des risques maritimes.
This Ph D explores relationships between history and underwater archaeology in order to study the martime risks in West Indies through the example of Guadeloupe. Shipwreck phenomenon is presented as a prism to analyze maritime aspect of Guadeloupe history during the time of sailing, from the end of 17th to first half of 19th century. The study is based on a archivaI analysis of administrative correspondence and surveys in marine archives and French kingdom main ports linked with West Indies. Shipwreck is defined through an quantitative study of losses : quantity, frequency, localization, chronological spread. This point of view permits to qualify the this phenomenon as serial but low regarding to the maritime activity, This fact is not a lack in order to use this event as a reading key of an American French colony, its economy and society. About 550 shipwrecks have been recorded from the end of 17th to first half of 19th century, thi represents less than 1% of maritime activity of the colony .. This phenomenon is mainly a coastal and a port event, linked with climatic hazard as hurricanes, but the study focused also on others causes . The objective is to set up a losses' typology dealing with ships types, functions, cargos, and crews. The perception of losses risks (seafaring conditions, wrecks dangers and climatic hazards) is presented in order to analyze relationships between risks and means in order to prevent them or reduce their consequences. Different projects from first hydrographical missions during 18th century to first ports building projects at the beginning of 19th century have been studied in order to establish if they answer the losses risks.

The main goal of this study is to give the preliminary estimates of the tsunami risks for the Lesser Antilles. We investigated the available data of the tsunamis in the French West Indies using the historical data and catalogue of the tsunamis in the Lesser Antilles. In total, twenty-four (24) tsunamis were recorded in this area for last 400 years; sixteen (16) events of the seismic origin, five (5) events of volcanic origin and three (3) events of unknown source. Most of the tsunamigenic earthquakes (13) occurred in the Caribbean, and three tsunamis were generated during far away earthquakes (near the coasts of Portugal and Costa Rica). The estimates of tsunami risk are based on a preliminary analysis of the seismicity of the Caribbean area and the historical data of tsunamis. In particular, we investigate the occurrence of historical extreme runup tsunami data on Guadeloupe, and these data are revised after a survey in Guadeloupe.

Résumé : This paper presents French historical sources and references about Tobago collected in the Libraries and Archives of Martinique and the record of two archaeological missions sent from Martinique to Tobago in the 1990’s. French contributions to the history of Tobago, published or not, gives light on the French speaking protestant Walloons who settled in the island during the 17th century. In addition the author shows the links between Dutch and French Huguenot families in the West Indies in spite of the French State.
Cet article tente la recension des sources et de la bibliographie de l’histoire de Tobago en langue française dans les fonds des Archives et des Bibliothèques de la Martinique et rappelle les missions archéologiques martiniquaises envoyées dans cette île au cours des années 1990. Les travaux français éclairent le rôle joué au XVIIe siècle par les Wallons, protestants de langue française, dans la colonisation de Tobago. L’auteur montre ensuite les liens tissés aux Antilles entre les familles hollandaises et huguenotes, malgré les persécutions de l’Etat français.

Résumé : Dans les Antilles françaises, l’utilisation des espaces et des territoires pose des questions et suscite des problèmes aussi nombreux que complexes. Les unes et les autres, dépendant des caractéristiques propres à l’environnement et au contexte des milieux insulaires, sont tributaires des paramètres propres au contexte local, et notamment de facteurs identitaires. Les données historiques et les pesanteurs socio-culturelles y sont en effet souvent déterminantes. Il en résulte des situations qui d’attitudes et de comportements qui aujourd’hui encore se situent dans le domaine d’un non-droit, qu’il soit délibéré ou subi, ou à l’inverse génèrent de telles attitudes ou comportements.Les besoins de toute nature (occupation, utilisation, exploitation, valorisation, etc.) envers les espaces fonciers, au profit d’intérêts privés très divers et fréquemment conflictuels, s’y heurtent en outre à de nombreux obstacles, en particulier lorsqu’ils font l’objet d’une mobilisation à des fins touristiques. Ils tiennent autant à la superficie limitée des territoires, qu’à la rareté croissante des terres disponibles. Les impacts négatifs en sont aggravés par les exigences de conservation environnementale, qui se heurtent aux exigences des politiques d’urbanisme et de tourisme, qui tendent à se superposer et s’opposer en matière d’urbanisation touristique du littoral, espace aussi convoité que fragile.
In the French West Indies, the use of spaces and territories raises numerous and complex questions and problems. Both depend on the particular characteristics of the environment and the context of islands, and on parameters specific to the local context, including identity factors. The historical and socio-cultural constraints are indeed often critical. This results in situations that proceed, or conversely generate, attitudes and behaviours that still lie in the field of non-law, whether will full or suffered.The needs of any kind (occupation, use, exploitation, valuation, etc.) for land areas for the benefit of different and often conflicting private interests, stumble also many obstacles, especially when they are mobilized for tourism. They are due as much to the limited size of the territories, as to the increasing scar-city of available land. The negative impacts are exacerbated by the demands of environmental conservation that face the requirements of planning policies and tourism, which tend to overlap and oppose in tourist urbanization of coastal areas, which are spaces as coveted as fragile .

Résumé : International audience
Zika fever is an Aedes-borne disease caused by a flavivirus (Zika virus, ZIKV, genus Flavivirus). During the past years ZIKV spread in Polynesia, South-America and the Caribbean. Most ZIKV infections are asymptomatic or result in mild febrile disease with rash and conjunctivitis. Attention was recently drawn to non-vectored ZIKV transmission, including sexual, probable blood-borne and mother-to-fetus transmission, and to severe forms such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, acute neurological infections and fetal abnormalities (including microcephaly). Many aspects of Zika fever natural history remain unknown, e.g. the proportion of asymptomatic cases and the duration of viremia. Estimating the prevalence of Zika infections is difficult because a large proportion of infected individuals do not seek medical attention and seroprevalence studies are hampered by antigenic cross-reactivity with other flaviviruses, e.g. dengue virus. Here, we present a study of ZIKV infection in blooddonors from Martinique island (French West Indies, Caribbean region), with novel epidemiological, biological and clinical information that refine the picture of Zika fever in adults.

L’analyse des commémorations de l’abolition de l’esclavage ou des manifestations s’yrapportant depuis 1998, est réalisée notamment à travers la presse et les oeuvres monumentales. Construite sous forme d’inventaire elle permet de mieux mesurer la place et l’importance croissante de l’évocation du marronnage et de son emblème le nègre marron dans les manifestations depuis 1998. Le travail à partir des archives du Centenaire en 1948, souligne a contrario une présence très restreinte, qu’il faut mettre en rapport avec une autre quasi-absence, celle de l’esclave. En effet les cérémonies du Centenaire, qui se conjuguent avec les débuts de la mise en place de la départementalisation aux Antilles, mettent l’accent beaucoup plus sur la Libération, sur la fin d’une ignominie, que sur les conditions de vie et de fuite des habitations. Cette communication propose donc de suivre l’itinéraire du Nègre marron, sa transformation progressivement en héraut d’une résistance, débordant aujourd’hui largement la configuration du milieu esclavagiste. Il compose selon Glissant en 1981, « le seul vrai héros populaire des Antilles ». La communication souhaite mettre en perspective cette figure du héros, ses rythmes et ses connexions, sa patrimonialisation, mais aussi interroger l’extension du recours au terme de marronnage, en apparence hors de ses cadres initiaux. Centrée sur les Antilles françaises, cette communication espère poser les bases d’une comparaison avec d’autres pays de la grande Caraïbe.
