Description : Dominique AURELIA introduit ce colloque transdisciplinaire qui se propose d'analyser ce que signifie la pensée postcoloniale aujourd'hui, dans le monde et, plus particulièrement, dans le champ du savoir français et antillais, faisant le constat de la rareté des études postcoloniales aujourd'hui dans la recherche universitaire française. Corinne MENCE-CASTER, Présidente de l'Université des Antilles insiste sur la portée politique de cet événement et rappelle combien il est important de cerner les dimensions du contexte économique, social et culturel dans lequel évoluent les Antilles pour comprendre comment l'enseignement a été pensé, organisé. Interviennent ensuite la représentante de la Ville de Schoelcher et Jean-Louis Joachim qui représente du doyen de la Faculté des Lettres. L'absence de la Rectrice est excusée. Enfin, Alexandre ALARIC, l'organisateur principal de cette rencontre scientifique, ouvre la réflexion sur ce moment privilégié de relecture, soulignant l'ensemble de malentendus qui doivent être repensés tels les réparations, l'enseignement, la valeur du patrimoine ?

Description : L'absence du père est une question récurrente dans l'imaginaire des sociétés de la diaspora caribéenne. Tantôt appréhendée comme un manquement involontaire, ou comme le résultat d'une oblitération, la carence de la fonction paternelle présente, paradoxalement, un rôle structurant dans l'imaginaire anthropologique de ces sociétés. Comment cette liminalité est-elle représentée dans le discours artistique et politique ? De quoi est-elle le signe ? En partant de l'hypothèse que l'absence perçue ou avérée du père est liée à sa marginalisation par l'instance paternelle nationale - le père symbolique évoqué par Lacan - l'intervenant explorera l'impact de ses diverses représentations à travers une mise en relation du fait social et du théâtre de la diaspora caribéenne.

Résumé : From the PNCR, GAP MPs free to vote conscience on gay rights bill By Johann Earle Stabroek News June 11, 2003 The PNCR will allow its members to vote their conscience on the controversial Constitution (Amendment) Act of 2001 which seeks to prevent discrimination against persons on the basis of their sexual orientation and other grounds. A number of religious organisations are opposed to the passage of the bill because it includes sexual orientation as one of the grounds. They are concerned that it could lead to a legalisation of homosexual relations and demands for recognition of gay marriages among other things. PNCR Member of Parliament (MP) Vincent Alexander told a forum at the National Library on Saturday, that the Bill did not seek to legalise homosexuality, but to ensure that persons would not be discriminated against based on their sexual preferences. He was one of two parliamentarians who showed up - the other being PNCR member, Myrna Peterkin. The forum was organised by Students Against Sexual Orientation Discrimination (SASOD), a group comprising fifteen students from the University of Guyana which was formed about two weeks ago. Alexander expects the vote on the bill to come up before the National Assembly in a matter of months. Paul Hardy, Leader of the Guyana Action Party (GAP), told Stabroek News that his party would not be using the so-called parliamentary whip. He added that GAP took a decision that every member should vote according to his or her own conscience. “We have no right to deny the rights of others based on sexual orientation. [The Bill] will guarantee rights to the homosexual.” GAP is in Parliament as part of an alliance with the Working People’s Alliance. GAP/WPA has two MPs. The bill was met with rejection from some members of the religious community in 2001 and as a result of this, the President did not assent to it. In a statement on Monday, the Central Islamic Organisa-tion of Guyana (CIOG) said that it stood in firm opposition to the Bill. The CIOG says the general purpose of the bill may be commendable and that the organisation’s objection is not based on a willingness to promote discrimination. Rather, the CIOG said, it was based on the fact that specific legal protection on the basis of sexual orientation without definition or qualification gives tacit legitimacy to practices which are considered criminal in Islam. “It is foreseeable that such a legal nod of approval (subtle as it may be) of these practices may pave the way for greater social (or even legal) acceptability in the future which, from the perspective of all Muslims including those in Guyana, is an undesirable and sinful outcome,” the CIOG statement said. At Saturday’s event, Muslim teacher Moulana Mohamed Ali Zenjibari spoke of instances of abuse, discrimination and harsh penalties meted out to gay and lesbian persons in countries such as Iran and Saudi Arabia and noted that the Quran did not sanction such punishments for homosexual behaviour. President of the CIOG, Fazeel Ferouz told Stabroek News that a meeting to discuss a strategy with regards to the bill was planned for tomorrow with various religious groups. Stabroek News tried to get a comment on the issue from the PPP/C but to no avail. ROAR leader, Ravi Dev said that his party was now having discussions on the issue. ROAR feels that it is an important question which has to do with morality and should be discussed across the country. He added legislators had to be in tune with their constituents on the issue. SASOD is lobbying for the legislation through the sensitisation of MPs. Keimo Benjamin, a law student at UG, gave a presentation based on the jurisprudential aspects of the discussion on sexual orientation. He argued that morality should not be the only guiding principle on which to base the laws. Sexual activities between two consenting male adults in private could not be equated with a violation of a person’s rights, he said, making the point that the thrust of his presentation was not whether homosexuality was wrong, but whether it violated the rights of others. He said that the attitudes of some towards this subject were based on preconceived notions and prejudices. He cited studies to show that the suppression of certain perceived deviant sexual impulses in persons might do more harm than good. One Harvard University study of teens who said they were gay indicated that those teens were three times more likely to commit suicide. Vidyaratha Kissoon, of Help and Shelter, in his contribution on Saturday, expressed his displeasure at the low turnout at the forum and urged the parliamentarians who showed up to take the message to their colleagues. He noted that because of homophobia, the numerical minority was terrified of speaking out against instances of discrimination. Gays and lesbians in Guyana were subjected to ridicule and abuse, and walk the streets at night not looking for sex necessarily, but for the companionship of persons who empathise with them. During his presentation, Joel Simpson, another member of SASOD, outlined a number of changes made within national jurisdictions that had international implications. One such crucial change was South Africa’s 1996 adoption of a new constitution, making that country the first in the world to expressly include sexual orientation as a prohibited ground of discrimination. It was the first time a developing country had taken the lead with respect to the rights of sexual minorities. He also said that according to Douglas Sanders, a Canadian jurist, the rights of homosexual, bisexual or transsexual men and women had never been officially recognised by the United Nations, despite the fact that international laws on the issue began to emerge at the close of the Second World War. Simpson said that under Article 170 (5), as amended by Section 8 of the Constitution (Amendment) (No. 4) Act 2000, the President is required to assent to any bill which is returned by the National Assembly unaltered after a two-thirds majority within 90 days of its presentation to him. To the parliamentarians present, Simpson stressed that the onus was now on them to adequately represent their constituents which include lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual Guyanese. http://www.landofsixpeoples.com/news301/ns306115.htm and Vote on sexual orientation should be a matter of conscience - MP Alexander By Esther Elijah Guyana Chronicle June 8, 2003 PEOPLE’S National Congress (PNC/R) Member of Parliament Mr. Vincent Alexander, said the Opposition will vote on “conscience” when the piece of legislation on sexual orientation is again brought before the National Assembly. “With specific reference to my party, when this Bill gets back to the Parliament in the spirit of the arguments here, we will not use the `whip’. Our party will not say we have to vote for the provision (in the Sexual Orientation Bill). We will allow our members to vote as a matter of conscience,” he told participants gathered in the Conference Room of the National Library. “We feel this is a matter of conscience. You may end up with a collective position but you have to deal with us individually,” Alexander said at a poorly attended public consultation aimed at gaining support for sexual orientation to be considered a fundamental right in Guyana. Alexander, one of the main persons who sat on the Constitutional Reform Commission that addressed this controversial clause, said the legislation was not meant to legalise homosexual activities in Guyana. “It was intended to ensure that persons who have an orientation - a way of thinking - which may or may not lead to a certain activity, to not be discriminated against, in terms of their rights,” he explained. Alexander noted that very often, discussions on the sexual orientation provision in the Bill have led to seepages into other areas where debates centre on the “right to be homosexual.” “I am saying the Bill does not comment on that… However, law is peculiar, especially in a Common Law system. Once you venture out and change the law, very often you open other windows which we cannot definitively say exist or does not exist in advance,” he said. “The fear of some people is that the legislators might say one thing and the Courts will eventually say something else. While some people can’t argue against the law, per say, they will say this has opened a window of opportunity not meant to be opened. So, it is better to stay without a window than open it and then have a possibility of something you didn’t intend to happen - happening sometime in the future.” Alexander added: “I want to say I’ve found this activity to have been rich from the perspective of the amount of research which was done by student (speakers). Without any comment as to whether I agree with the arguments, I would wish that much more research on other issues be done by students, and that at the University (of Guyana) students would find it convenient to have forums on other issues, with the same depth of research for their own intellectual development.” Alexander and other Opposition M.P, Lurlene Nestor were the only three Parliamentarians in attendance at the session organised by the recently formed `Students Against Sexual Orientation Discrimination’ (SASOD), a group that has a membership of 15 mostly University of Guyana (UG) students from various faculties. SASOD was established two weeks ago. With the exception of members of the press, the consultation only managed to attract 11 persons, a handful of who were SASOD members. While congratulating the students for an “insightful” presentation, Nestor pointed out that whether or not she chooses to agree with their position is “another issue” and she is entitled to her “own view”. “The issue of sexual orientation is very `toucheous’ …while we agree with the human rights provisions and all that as a society, we must also revert to our own society. Some of the very critical questions that I would want to ask is whether or not at the society (level) we are ready for that kind of thing,” she remarked. “We cannot, at (any) time, ignore the religious groups in our society. If we look at statistics going back to 1992 from a survey done by the Bureau of Statistics, we would see that a small section of the Guyanese population might be considered as people who do not subscribe to a religious view. While the laws are not necessarily based on moral values, we must acknowledge the fact that we might want to revert to many of the cases that (concern) laws that protect public morality.” Nestor told the speakers at the consultation these were some of the issues that they needed to deal with. She highlighted, too, that what must be examined is the effects of same-sex marriages on society and how this issue must be tackled. “These are some of the things we should consider and I don’t think you dealt with that in the presentations,” Nestor stated, adding that the issues must be addressed “frontally.” “Do we think that with the coming to being of this Bill that there might be quite a number of challenges to the Constitution in relation to the same issue of a man marrying a man? What do we do at the society (level)? Do we recognise that?” were the questions directed at the five speakers at the session. Nestor continued: “There is some argument that says, `Oh the Bill does not promote homosexuality or does not encourage a man to marry (another) man, but if you look at Section (15) that talks about `non-discrimination’ then how can we not, with the passage of this Bill, allow a man not to marry (another) man.” According to Nestor, matters of this nature constitute some of the “inconsistencies” of the Bill. On the argument raised by presenters at the session on who determines what is morality, Nestor said in the concept of democracy it is the people who are the determinants based on a “line of thinking.” She also rebutted on grounds that put the spotlight on teachers who may have been caught “interfering” with their young students and who may subsequently be dismissed from their jobs. “Could you imagine such a person interfering with a boy below age 10 - and by virtue of the fact that the Bill is there, the judges (in the case) will have to use their discretion in terms of what happens. We will have more Constitutional changes and problems (arising with the passage of the Bill).” SASOD member and law student, Joel Simpson, in reply, said he doesn’t think any homosexual in Guyana wants to “run into a church and ask that people marry them or anything of that sort.” At one point likening the church to a “club”, Simpson claimed the church has the right to exclude whomever it wants. He further stated that in accordance with the Constitution, people of the same sex do not currently have the right to marry, and will also not be able to do such an act with the passage of the Bill. However, Simpson said it is possible that the law, with the passage of the Bill, would have to recognise same-sex domestic partnerships in relation to employment benefits, sharing of properties, etc. Simpson said he believes there should be a realm of “public” and “private” morality between consenting adults, and implied that the Bill did not fully give “rights” to homosexuals. But, Nestor interjected: “I am informing you further…that the Sexual Orientation provision has, in fact, in some way recognised the rights of homosexuals and we must accept that.” Meanwhile, there was no vocal Christian representative(s) at the consultation and apart from the two Opposition representatives none other participant gave comments or directed questions at the presenters. Other speakers in support of the sexual orientation clause were: Moulana Mohammed Ali Zenjiban, Assistant Director of the International Islamic College; Denuka Radzik from Red Thread, Keimo Benjamin, UG law student and Vidyartha Kissoon from Help & Shelter. The Sunday Chronicle has been reliably informed that the Georgetown Ministers Fellowship, representing groups of Christian leaders staunchly against sexual orientation as a right in Guyana, have recently prepared a detailed 16-page document outlining issues arising from research to further boost their argument against the inclusion of the clause. The document is yet to be made public. http://www.landofsixpeoples.com/news301/nc306083.htm

Description : In the current ecological, economic and social context, the systematic use of drugs (prescription or self-medication) has direct health and environmental consequences. As a result, it is important to understand their perception by their main consumers. In this sense, social and environmental psychology aims to highlight the socio-psychological factors likely to influence the actors to adopt new practices or not (Zbinden et al., 2011). The present study, conducted in 2016 in CACEM territory, focuses on the analysis of social representations (SR) of drugs of the population from Martinique. The theory of SR allows the analysis of this mediation between man and his physical and social environment because these representations are highly contextualized and depend on the social anchoring of the groups (Doise, 1992).

Description : Dans cette communication, Dominique Cardon, sociologue au Laboratoire des usages d'Orange Labs et professeur associé à l'université de Marne la Vallée, propose une réflexion sur les propriétés organisationnelles, et notamment algorithmiques, de l'espace public numérique. Comment les calculateurs du web produisent-ils la visibilité numérique ? A partir de quels principes le PageRank de Google, les métriques du web social ou les outils de recommandation décident-ils de donner la prééminence à telle information plutôt qu'à telle autre ? On cherchera notamment à tirer des conséquences des transformations des épistémologies statistiques mises en oeuvre par les algorithmes du web avec la généralisation des techniques d'apprentissage (machine learning). Le web que nous connaissons ne serait pas le même s'il n'avait pas été profondément nourri, domestiqué et organisé par l'algorithme qui le classe, le PageRank de Google. C'est parce que ces documents s'adressent entre eux des liens de reconnaissance que la métrique du PageRank a pu construire une représentation de l'information proche de celles qui prévalaient dans l'espace public traditionnel. Cependant, d'autres formes de métriques de l'information se sont aujourd'hui généralisées avec les compteurs réputationnels du web social et les techniques de recommandation personnalisées. Aussi est-il utile de dégager les différentes formes du calcul qui sont aujourd'hui au principe de la construction des métriques du web afin de proposer une lecture de la manière dont elles enferment des représentations différentes des individus et de leur place dans nos sociétés.

Éditeur(s) : The Jamaica Times The Jamaica Times ( Kingston Jamaica )
Résumé : (Biographical) From Wikipedia for H. G. de Lisser, from 29 June 2013: Herbert George de Lisser CMG (9 December 1878 - 19 May 1944) was a Jamaican journalist and author. He has been called "one of the most conspicuous figures in the history of West Indian literature". De Lisser was born in Falmouth, Jamaica, and attended William Morrison's Collegiate School in Kingston. He started work at the Institute of Jamaica at the age of 14. Three years later he joined the Jamaica Daily Gleaner, of which his father was editor, as a proofreader, and two years later became a reporter on the Jamaica Times. In 1903, De Lisser became assistant editor of the Gleaner and was editor within the year. He wrote several articles for the paper every day. He also produced a novel or non-fiction book every year, beginning in 1913 with Jane: A Story of Jamaica, significant for being the first West Indian novel to have a central black character. Another famous novel of his, The White Witch of Rosehall (1929), is linked to a legend of a haunting in Jamaica. De Lisser also wrote several plays. In December 1920 he began publishing an annual magazine, Planters' Punch. De Lisser devoted much time and effort to the revival of the Jamaican sugar industry and represented Jamaica at a number of sugar conferences around the world. He was also general secretary of the Jamaica Imperial Association, honorary president of the Jamaica Press Association, and chairman of the West Indian section of the Empire Press Union. He was appointed Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George (CMG) in the 1920 New Year Honours.

Description : Marie-Dominique Cidalise-Montaise, Professeure certifiée d'histoire et de géographie, explique que l'hérédité, la condition sociale difficile, la déficience intellectuelle seraient d'après les études effectuées au 19ème siècle et jusqu'au début du 20ème siècle des facteurs d'inadaptation et d'échec pour certains enfants. A la Martinique au lendemain de la Départementalisation les conséquences des représentations négatives de certains groupes d'individus se traduisent en préjugés de race et de milieux et les difficultés d'existence de ce groupe social et leur inadaptation ne sont pas inhérentes à l'enfance mais dues à un environnement social, politique et économique difficile de la Martinique en 1950. Aujourd'hui il existe toujours à la Martinique une enfance en difficulté sociale et scolaire. Si tous les inadaptés scolaires ne deviennent pas délinquants et que si tous les délinquants n'ont pas été des inadaptés scolaires il n'en existe pas moins un nombre considérable de sujets marqués par l'inadaptation sociale et scolaire avant de l'être par la délinquance et ses conséquences. Il s'agit de saisir dans une perspective unique ces différents types d'inadaptations et de mettre en évidence les rapports existant entre eux.

Description : Nadia CHONVILLE (doctorante en sociologie, Université des Antilles) s'intéresse aux sources du discours homophobe aux Antilles dans leur contexte socio-historique. L'objectif est d'identifier et de comprendre les causes de la prévalence et de la persistance d'un discours homophobe légitime dans la société antillaise. Cette homophobie latente et normative jouit d'une certaine impunité due à une forme de consensus social sur le rejet des personnes qui sont à la marge du modèle hétérosexuel et chrétien dominant. Derrière les chants, les blagues et les insultes se taisent des vies refoulées, cachées et parfois brisées, dont les plus jeunes sont les principales victimes. Après le Mariage pour Tous en 2013, beaucoup de personnes ont eu le sentiment d'une plus grande visibilité de la « communauté LGBT » en Martinique.

Description : In 2015, Fort-de France the main city of Martinique made the ambitious decision to introduce a new mode of public transportation, a reserved public transport lane, or "RPTL". In a first part of our study based on the structural approach of social representation (Abric, 1994), we explored the content and the structure of the social representation of the RTPL. The second part of the study was based on the Technology Acceptance Model (Davis, 1989). The aim was to identify the sociopsychological determinants of the intention to use this new mode of transport.

Résumé : International audience
Purpose The objective of this article was to estimate the social cost of respiratory cancer cases attributable to occupational risk factors in France in 2010. Methods According to the attributable fraction method and based on available epidemiological data from the lit- erature, we estimated the number of respiratory cancer cases due to each identified risk factor. We used the cost- of-illness method with a prevalence-based approach. We took into account the direct and indirect costs. We estimated the cost of production losses due to morbidity (absenteeism and presenteeism) and mortality costs (years of production losses) in the market and nonmarket spheres. Results The social cost of lung, larynx, sinonasal and mesothelioma cancer caused by exposure to asbestos, chromium, diesel engine exhaust, paint, crystalline silica, wood and leather dust in France in 2010 were estimated at between 917 and 2,181 million euros. Between 795 and 2,011 million euros (87-92 %) of total costs were due to lung cancer alone. Asbestos was by far the risk factor representing the greatest cost to French society in 2010 at between 531 and 1,538 million euros (58-71 %), ahead of diesel engine exhaust, representing an estimated social cost of between 233 and 336 million euros, and crystalline silica (119-229 million euros). Indirect costs represented about 66 % of total costs. Conclusion Our assessment shows the magnitude of the economic impact of occupational respiratory cancers. It allows comparisons between countries and provides valu- able information for policy-makers responsible for defining public health priorities.

Résumé : International audience
La santé est une préoccupation mondiale et grandissante occupant une place prépondérante aussi bien dans les débats de la sphère publique que dans les conversations ordinaires. Toutefois, la vie numérique de l’usager est encore mal connue, ainsi que les ressorts des représentations qui régissent les comportements dans ce domaine. C’est donc à partir de la théorie des représentations sociales que nous proposons d’appréhender la e-médecine en tant que phénomène de société. La e-santé consécutive à l’essor du numérique et des technologies mobiles autorise non seulement la consommation de connaissances liées à la santé, mais également la production et diffusion de celles-ci. Aussi, dans le domaine de la médecine, le recours aux outils numériques a initié de nombreuses ruptures comportementales et entraîné de fait la création d’un univers représentationnel associé qui favorise ou non leur acceptabilité par les utilisateurs potentiels.

Résumé : L’étude des représentations de la drépanocytose dans une population scolarisée de l’île de Marie-Galante (N=267), en Guadeloupe, est ici réalisée à partir du traitement des réponses à une question d’association libre qui s’inscrivait dans un questionnaire plus large. L’analyse des occurrences et des co-occurrences spontanément associées à la drépanocytose montre le flou qui entoure cette maladie dans la population étudiée, attestant d’une faible maîtrise des représentations biomédicales. Ce sont finalement le statut et la signification du sang, ainsi que la notion même de maladie génétique, qui paraissent mal assurés, car réinscrits dans l’univers des représentations culturelles et sociales liées à l’identité/altérité et à la filiation.
This paper presents a part of the results of a research on the representation on SCD (Sickle Cell Disease) among a schooled population living in Marie-Galante (Guadeloupe). It treats free associations of the respondents concerning SCD. The analysis of occurrencies and co-occurrencies spontaniously associated to the disease reveals the incertitude surrounding it, attesting thus of a small control of biomedical representations. The status and signification of blood, even as the notion of genetic disease, seem to be ambigious in their answers. They are in fact imbedded in the universe of social and cultural representations related to identity/alterity and filiation problematics.

Résumé : International audience
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 short Vocational 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 and (supposed) professional integration. However, the professional traineeship plays a great part in this diploma. For this reason, it seems interesting to investigate how the conception of students evolve, with respect to the aforementioned paradox, during and after professional traineeship. For this purpose, questionnaire surveys have been carried out at various moment of the scholar during two years (two cohorts).The main results can be summarized as follows. The professional traineeship is positively perceived by the students at the beginning of the training. They consider it as very important for the development of professional skills. Over time, this positive representation progresses homogeneously. The students are convinced ofthe efficiency of professional traineeship: their professional project strengthened but, they also realize that their professional future will not necessarily be in Guadeloupe. This is probably linked with a better representation of the economic situation of Guadeloupe and shows, as excepted, that the context of the professional traineeship modifies the representation of students. For the BTS assistant manager, we specially note a degradation of the representation of the profession of assistant manager, whereas this training’s choice was realized with conviction.

Description : Alexandra Roch introduit son intervention en présentant Earl Lovelace, ainsi que le lien existant entre la religion des "spiritual baptists" et la citoyenneté culturelle. Elle analyse dans un premier temps comment lovelace définit la résistance des "spiritual baptists", comme porteuse d'un projet social et culturel à Trinidad. Il sera ensuite question d'étudier comment la représentation des "spiritual baptists" par Lovelace permet à l'auteur de s'inscrire dans une dynamique de citoyenneté.

Description : Le travail est sexué, les savoirs et les compétences sont sexués, donc l'orientation est sexuée. (Françoise Vouillot ? Travail, genre et sociétés n°18). De ce fait nous assistons à une auto censure des filles et des garçons vers des orientations professionnelles. Les filles dans les services et les garçons dans la production et le technique. Suite à un état des lieux de la répartition filles /garçons dans l'orientation en Martinique, notre communication consistera à démonter les mécanismes qui génèrent cette massification des filles et des garçons dans certains secteurs professionnels. Nous considérerons le concept du genre ? comme élément normatif du masculin et de féminin. Le genre assignant des rôles et hiérarchisant ces derniers, prend une grande part, à la construction des stéréotypes qui nous gouvernent tous. Il s'agira d'expliquer, la construction identitaire et ses conséquences dans les choix des jeunes scolaires. Nous aborderons l'échec de la mixité à l'école (loi Haby 1975) qui n'a jusqu'à nos jours pas endiguer les inégalités entre filles et Garçons, car nombreux sont les acteurs de notre institution, eux mêmes sous l'emprise des stéréotypes de sexes. Considérant les conséquences de ces inégalités, dans le statut social et économique de ceux qui se projettent à l'adolescence vers leur projet professionnel, nous énoncerons l'importance de nos conduites et d'un changement de nos orientations, nos représentations pour permettre aux filles et garçons de ne pas limiter leur champ des possibles pour un avenir professionnel meilleur.
