Biodiversity and Local Ecological Knowledge in France
The knowledge of nature held by autochthonous and local communities has been the subject of international talks, notably on biodiversity, but has primarily been studied from an autochthonous angle. French experience of conserving and promoting local know-how, which is the subject of this book, is based on the notions of heritage and of terroirs. This original approach could feed international debate. The book is thus primarily intended for negotiators and political leaders, along with local players who may be interested by the global dimension of such know-how.

War and Other Means
War and Other Means describes and analyses the practices of war, the ‘objects of war’ and the conventions of the use of violence in Houaïlou, New Caledonia. It focuses on the colonial repression conducted in 1856 and after, the anti-sorcerer hunt in 1955, the independence mobilisation in the 1980s and the village feuds in the 2000s. Through this archaeology of violence, it reports on the practical inventiveness, intelligence and cunning of the Kanaks involved in social, often violent, conflicts. The use of archival material and recourse to the oral stories gathered from the inhabitants of Houaïlou restores the depth of these historical moments and the nested contexts of the political a...
Horizons nomades en Afrique sahélienne
La conception qui a présidé à la tenue et à la publication des Actes du colloque international consacré aux sociétés pastorales en Afrique sahélienne, s'appuie sur une approche pluridisciplinaire. Les vingt-quatre auteurs de ces Actes reflètent ce " métissage scientifique " qui associe étroitement chercheurs du Sud et du Nord. Cette approche révèle une intention clairement comparative puisque, sauf exception, chaque pays, de l'océan Atlantique à la mer Rouge, a fait l'objet d'une communication. Les thèmes présentés soulignent l'émergence d'une problématique des sociétés pastorales à la croisée de l'anthropologie des sociétés segmentaires ou hiérarchisées, de la g...
