Full textThis work aims at describing and understanding the phenomenon of the emergence of transgender individuals (Male to Female), its transformation and its increasing visibility today in urban context. The bulk of this work rests on the life’s trajectories of the main group of transgender living in Noumea, in New Caledonia: they are Wallisian and Futunian transgender, who have a “Polynesian” cultural background. A smaller part of them, are kanak, who have a “Melanesian” cultural background. Starting in the 1970s, in the urban region of Noumea, individuals who were born males, mostly from immigrant families of Wallisian and Futunian origins, began to adopt a feminine appearance and performance by wearing Western-style clothes and make-up. The emergence of a new transgender in Noumea is linked with the development of a new transgender lifestyle, the tai’ata (street sex work). Transgender sociability, sex, urban life-style and agency are the terms associated to tai’ata and to the modern, urban transgender. Today, this individuals look increasingly at modern technics of body transition (hormonal treatment, mammoplasty, vaginoplasty) in order to shape and define their conception of their own body, on the one hand, and at Western sexual categories such as “transsexuality” in order to define their sexuality, on the other hand. Living in a world of tensions between local values and globalization of Western categories and ideas, transgender of Wallisian and Futunian origins, along with a smaller number of Kanak transgender, develop strategies of resistance and negotiation in order to gain acceptance in their family and community sphere, as well as in their relationships involving friendship, love and sex

Full textThe analysis of the Mare mythology (Loyalty islands), supported by a body of a one hundred stories, has enabled the author to observe that there is a huge symbolic operation taking place: the sea world creatures are opposed to the air world creatures, and are involved in a sort of "flesh" negotiation whose creatures of the creeping world offer the go-between. It is through these three main categories which shape the basis of a real mythological rhetoric, that the place taken by the concepts of name, envelope, cannibalism is apprehended. The myths, then, seem to have many discourses focused on the matrimonial quest and the strategy of alliances

Full textA symbol of “Kanak culture revival”, the festival of Melanesian arts Melanesia 2000 has just celebrated in 2015 its 40th anniversary. This event was in all likelihood the cultural catalyst for the nationalist movement which in the 1980’s successfully established la coutume (“kastom”) as a unifying symbol for the Kanak people in opposition to the colonial status quo. Having been engaged for more than two decades in a process of decolonization – the political and constitutional outcome of which remains uncertain – New Caledonia is now experiencing the effects of a policy of rebalancing in favour of the indigenous people, notably in the form of an unprecedented appreciation of Kanak cultural identity, the preservation of tangible and intangible heritage and the active promotion of cultural development and artistic creation within a wider Pacific cultural context.It is important to retrace the genesis of the “Kanak renaissance” in light of the epistemological discussions that animated Oceanian anthropology in the period, especially the debates around the (re)invention of traditions and their instrumentalization to promote identity consciousness and political mobilization. The social sciences – and especially anthropology – make it possible to place in historical perspective the ongoing process of the making of cultures as collective identities that are objectified, put on display and sanctified (or not) through their official recognition and inscription within the public arena. With the emergence of a new cultural field entirely dedicated to “the management of symbols” (Dubois, 1999), ethnographical research carried out with the social actors makes it possible to show that the representations of Kanak identity that were for a long time the domain of indigenous militants and engaged intellectuals are now the domain of curators and managers of art and cultural heritage.Finally, this largely retrospective study aims at a better epistemological and sociological understanding of social and cultural change in New Caledonia in the period since the hardening of Kanak nationalism (1975-1988) up until the multi-cultural project for a “shared future” brought about by the application of the Noumea Accord (1998-2018)
Nicolas, Hélène. "La fabrique des époux : Approche anthropologique et historique du mariage, de la conjugalité et du genre (Lifou, Nouvelle Calédonie)." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012AIXM3138/document.
Full textThe research subject of this thesis is marriage and conjugality on Lifou, an island of New Caledonia, from 1842, the beginning of evangelization, up until the present day. By studying socialization for marriage, matrimonial rituels and their transformations, it seeks to make a contribution to knowledge of the gender system of this Kanak region. Ceremonial life on Lifou today is governed by opulent marriage rituals. The age group system makes marriage an obligatory passage without which an individual cannot become an "adult" (nyipi atr). Once married, the productive and reproductive capacities of the wife belong to her husband. During ceremonial marriage exchanges, a veritable "war of gifts", the totality of the relatives who constitute the network of the two kinship groups present is reactivated. Honouring the members of ones kinship and alliance networks involves accepting marriage or a conjugal relationship. Marriage and conjugality were transformed by the action of the Christian missionaries who sought to replace the local model of separation and antagonism between the sexes by a gender system based on the conjugal couple, in which "the man is the head and the woman the body". Under the system of Native Regulations (régime de l’indigénat), colonial laws strengthened a husband's rights over his wife and considerably reduced the latter's freedom of action. It was only in 1946 (the end of the system of Native Regulations), and during the independence protests in the 1980s, that the women of Lifou gained new room for manoeuvre and could thus oppose a husband's unilateral exercise of power

Full textBased on a microsocial ethnography, this thesis focuses on the political life of Ouvéa Island (New Caledonia) which can be considered as a constant ongoing building process.Using four case studies describing crisis, polemics or controversies, this thesis offers more general thoughts on the organization on how this political life is locally conceived and on the relationships of influence and of power it can generates.The analysis evolves around three major problematics. The « affaire de la grotte d’Ouvéa », which is the first one, demonstrates how historical events and their memory stakes are the foundation of the contemporary political life. The second one, questions « custom » as a standardized discourse, a relationship system and a political order. Its analyses shows that « custom » is not only organizing the daily life on a traditional way, but that it can also be used in order to serve more personal ambitions. The third problematic explores how both « custom » and « republican institutions » do articulate with eachother at the time of the implementation of the « french parity law ». The description of the « conseil municipal » (local Council) therefore provides us with general thoughts on gender relationships in Kanak society. The aim of this work is to demonstrate that the political life of Ouvéa is a paradoxal environment characterised by building as well as demolition and fixing activities. Being at the same time an agitated and motionless place, considering its past when looking forward to the future at the same time, the political life of Ouvéa, just like the elements which compose it, is both a changing and a dynamic object

Full textThe rule of law in New-Caledonia on September 30 2017, is the result of the republican law exportation procedure that lasted 164 years, the expression of the Judeo-Christian civilization on a territory that is situated 22 000 kilometres from continental France and its confrontation with customary rights, which is the expression and the cement of the Melanesian Yam civilization, consolidated one thousand years after Jesus christ. After the violent colonization and the proven failure of "the french way" decolonization engaged in 1946, another decolonization desired by the Kanak people following the insurrectional crisis of 4 years, started in 1988 and came to an end in 2018,with a result, of a series of three auto-determination referendums. The new juridical paradigm is introduced at the level of the french constitution by Noumea's agreement and it has opened the paths of a flexible french juridical monism and a legal dialogue between Kanak's indigenous law and the french republican law. The Kanak people adopted in 2014 the kanak's People Chart and they have positioned themselves for a cooperative legal pluralism and is waiting for the opening of the dialogue

Full textThis master thesis is constructed around the notion of territory and what the latter represents for the Kanak of New-Caledonia. As the Indigenous people of the archipelago, the Kanak are intimately linked to the land they occupy which thus becomes the primary underpinning of the group’s identity and history. The social organization, the rhythm of life as well as the indigenous representations are mostly derived from the manifold relationship they maintained with the territory. In such configuration, one cannot dissociate a human being from his mound. As a result of colonization and the historical evolution of the archipelago, Kanak society has undergone major transformations at the social, cultural, political and religious levels. However, one has to admit that many of the specific features of their tradition and custom have been preserved, valued and even revised in the course of time. Faced with the current developmental context, the Kanak appropriate for themselves the tools of modernity and try to make their voices heard at the local and national levels, while asserting their identity, their culture and their willingness to deal with the actors of development. The thesis analyzes the relationships and interactions between Indigenous and non- Indigenous people around the management of territory and its resources in the commune of Yaté in southern New-Caledonia. It focuses on the practices and expectations of the Kanak people in relation with the issues raised by the presence of the other groups of actors and interests in the region and by the difficulty to conciliate the conservation and the development of the territory.

Full textIf the shock of the colonization of New Caledonia evoked in the introduction of the agreement on New Caledonia of May 5th, 1998 is not to be any more demonstrated, themeans developed by the French law towards the people remain to be examined. Considering the particular relations that maintain Kanak in the land, the shock of the cultures is goi ng to be translated by the opposition of the rights be tween an unchanging custom, and a French law which makes sacred the private property, participat ing in the rights of man and the citizen. These senses of identity appropriate for the coloni zation of New Caledonia, took multiple legal forms, as for the very taking possession because the Kanak first people knows a treaty (1844), a taking possession in 1853, and acts of gratitude of sovere ignty were signed by leaders (1854 ) on the Big Earth 2 . Our permanent questioning is thus the one to know how the Kanak people underwent by virtue of the French law a fundamental upheaval of his vital land space, spheres of influence ofhis traditional chieftainships, a disintegration of his organizatio n endowed with his owncodes. The constitutional gratitude of a personal status a ppropriate for the first people in the agreement of Noumea of 1998, is going to allow to confirm and to assure the superiority of the usual uses, either i n this only domain, but for all which concerns the ci vil law. The renowned French law based on the equality. The application to the Kanak people of New Caledonia shows that this idea must be revised. So, it is about the period of the colonization ( 1st part)) and its negative discriminatory law wher e that of the decolonization (2eme left) and its posi tive discriminatory law, Kanak people knew and always knows different rules
Patane, Frédéric. "Les représentations sociales du handicap en milieu kanak et leurs résonances sur les pratiques sociales." Thesis, Lyon, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019LYSE2114.
Full textThe multicultural issue of disability in New Caledonia became a central issue when, in 2009, the territory adopted a law in favour of people with disabilities, modelled on a Western model. By institutionalizing the care of the handicap, the public authorities weaken the kanak local solidarity. The study of the representations and social practices of disability in the kanak world makes it possible to understand the impact that this legislative framework can have on families and persons with disabilities. In order to legitimize our anthropological approach, we show that disability is a culturally based situation. The study of available data on disability in the oceanic and kanak world in particular reveals the diversity of practices according to economic and social contexts. Semi-structured interviews and participant observation, carried out in tribal and urban areas, show that the magico-religious approach occupies an important place in the interpretation of disability. In the kanak world, interpreting disability means, in the end, looking for what lies behind a biomedical explanation. In addition, while the kanak custom guarantees protection and solidarity of proximity towards people with disabilities, it encourages their social participation only through traditional activities.In 2009, the legislative framework in favour of people with disabilities introduces foreign concepts to kanak culture such as disability rate, loss of autonomy, life project. Moreover, as a factor of individualization, it weakens traditional solidarity based on family networks of dependence and protection.The Western system, by investing in the field of disability, leads Kanak to question the level of cultural differentiation they want to preserve in terms of caring for the most vulnerable
