Full textThe geological mapping of Ua Pou and Nuku Hiva islands has allowed a detailed sampling which we have used for petrologic and geochemical investigations. Ua Pou displays an alkaline series ranging from basanites to phonolites with a marked bimodal distribution together with a Daly gap. The prominence of evolved lavas reflects their origin from partial melting of mafic precursors followed by crustal contamination. Nuku Hiva is composed of an external volcano formed by tholeiites with a DMM signature and of an inner volcan showing an almost continuous alkaline series ranging from basalts to trachytes, with a prominent EM II signature. Mafic lavas of the inner volcano derive from a mantle source more enriched than that of the external volcano, affected by time_decreasing melting rates. The evolution of intermediate lavas is mainly controlled by fractional crystallisation processes under high water pressure. The origin of evolved lavas evidences lithosphere-asthenosphere interactions. Most of the geochemical heterogeneity of the Marquesan lavas reflects the mixing in various proportions of EM II, HIMU and DMM source end-members. Postulating that the plume only contains the two former components and that DMM is the unique component of the oceanic-lithosphere, a mixing model between these three components allos to estimate 1) the proportions of each end-member in the plume-derived liquids and 2) the mixing patterns between these liquids and the oceanic lithosphere, leading to estimate the interactions between the plume and the oceanic lithosphere. The construction of DMM is quite important and modifies considerably the composition of the plume liquids

Full textOur study is the first outcome intending to follow the historical trajectory of the society of Ua Huka in Marquesas, from the first human settlement, around 800-900 AD. To the arrival of Westerners during the nineteenth century. We first propose to reconstruct the local chronological sequence. Stratigraphic analysis and radiocarbon dating of archaeological records (dune and valley sites) allow us to build a combined sequence of long duration, covering nearly a millennium. Some cultural markers of various natures were identified and divide the trajectory into several phases that we are now able to qualify. Subsequently, the island's history is considered through different themes. Based on some examples from well-surveyed valleys, we tackled the settlement pattern and its dynamics by demonstrating how the village clusters were formed. In parallel, we discuss the horticultural systems and the ancient subsistence modes. The recognition of community and ceremonial sites also suggests a new reflection on the process of differentiation that occurred in the political and religious sphere, uniquely so in the Marquesas. This discussion is enriched by an innovative study of secondary funerary deposits discovered on Ua Huka. They qualify the ritual management of the dead during the protohistoric period. Finally, an archaeodémographic method is tested and provides the first general evaluation of prehistoric population whose evolution is tracked even after contact with West

Full textThe Marquesas archipelago is distinguished from the Polynesian group by many environmental and ecological peculiarities. The hydrodynamic conditions seem to generate local nutrient enrichment process, which contrast with oligotrophic conditions usually encountered around the coral ecosystems. These rich waters seem to favor a high phytoplankton primary production. The Marquesas Islands atypical coral structure, associated with high primary production, suggests particular trophic relationships. In the system, phytoplankton is an important organic matter source, with high nutritional quality, supported by macrophytobenthos. Terrestrial OM sources have only a little influence. Despite the dominance of phytoplankton in OM pools (POM and SOM), macroalgae seem to contribute mainly to the food web functioning, with the support of phytoplankton, especially during phytoplankton bloom (cold season). These observations suggest a benthic-pelagic coupling in OM supply in the food web. The marine primary producers have significantly higher δ15N isotopic signatures than in other parts of the South Pacific. These high isotopic values are also identified for consumers and show seasonal variability, probably reflecting variations in nutrient intakes available to primary producers. These variations would reflect the hydrodynamic processes intensification during the cold season, highlighted in other studies, allowing a rise in nutrients in surface water.However, although Marquesan food webs have high nitrogen isotopic signatures and significant contributions from phytoplankton, the structure and functioning of communities remains similar for other coral ecosystems observed

Full textThis thesis has its origin in the knowledge's author of the marquesas archipelago, where he arrived as teacher at taiohae in 1972. It's a historical study with quest of identity in the background. In the first part, he describes the structure of the marquesan society about 1800 ; it's an ethnohistorical picture of the marquesan society on arrival of the westerners, presented around two broad topics : consensus of peace and consensus of confrontation. In the two other parts, it's an account which treats of events. He made the choice of 1880 to articulate this account in two parts. Until this date, there is no policies for the archipelago, and the disorders end up aggravating the ministry. It is put an end to this situation during the "campaign of pacification". One then awaits the disappearance of the population, which seems inescapable with only 2080 inhabitants in 1925. But in the third decade of the 20th century, the marquesas start a demographic rectification, thanks to a simple and energetic medical action. The western values get the better of marquesan people : after 1945, the main part of the adult population works, especially in copra crop ; the youth go to school, and all or almost are catholic. The colonial authorities make up for lost time by gradually equipping the country with the infrastructures which were always lacking. The author concludes on present state of quest of identity in the marquesas. Its purely intellectual way marks time. But in its practical and festive sides, there is no lack of opportunities : tatooes, which have lost their esoteric meanings, and found an identitary one ; artistic craft industry, set in functional one. A new identity is born, while projects for the development of the archipelago take shape

Full textThe floristic composition of French Polynesian high volcanic islands are characterized by a great spatial heterogeneity. The existing remote sensing-based mapping methods are hardly suitable for such a complexity level. This study aims to adapt these methods in order to yield maps with a maximum accuracy. First, SVM (Support Vector Machines, a promising machine learning algorithm) classification accuracy is compared to classification accuracy of a range of other algorithms to complement the literature. Then, a ground data collection methodology that takes account of the SVM paradigm is described. We distinguish two study models requiring the same tools but dissimilar methodologies to be mapped: dominant species with a characteristic spectral response for which all available source images (multispectral, synthetic aperture RaDAR, environmental proxies) can be merged. For this purpose, we define a selective classification scheme that considers the discriminative properties of each species; And (ii) species found in the forest subcanopy or rare species which cannot be remote sensed. In this case, remote sensing data are used a priori to produce a canopy map that is subsequently staked with a set of environmental proxies to be integrated by a SVM in order to model the ecological niche of species. These methods can lead to a more accurate knowledge of plant distribution across montane tropical forest landscapes

Full textWhile pearl culture industry represents one of the dominant business sector of French Polynesia, it still entirelies on natural reproduction and spat collection. A better knowledge of reproduction determinism is thus of particular interest for the black lip pearl oyster P. Margaritifera. This work is based (i) on "in situ" studies of the pearl oyster diet and of the environmental determinism of reproduction ; and (ii) on the application to the black lip pearl oyster of a bio-energetic and deterministic model of growth and reproduction based on the Dynamic energy budget theory. Ahe atoll lagon, plankton concentration and composition fluctations were strongly linked to wind regimes. These variations had a great impact on the diet of pearl oysters which was dominated by nano-microplankton (especially nano-flagelattes and dinoflagellates). Peaks of plankton concentration were assocated with an increased gametogenesis rate and were shown to enhance spawning synchronisation in the population. Eventually, estimates of DEB parameters for P. Margaritifera allowed usto correctly simulate its growth and reproduction and to clearly demonstrate the influence of plankton concentration on maturation and spawning synchronization of pearl oysters in atoll lagoons of French Polynesia. These results provide relevant features for a better understanding of spat collection variability in French Polynesian atoll lagoons. Moreover, the pearl oyster DEB model of adults growth and reproduction constitute a promising complementary tool for the comprehensive description of spat collection variability in atoll lagoons of French Polynesia

Full textThis thesis has the aim of studying in a diachronic way Tahitians food pratices and their representations. It shows the central role of food in social, economic and cultural life of Ancient Tahitians, true "total social fact" and support of a workship of abundance, and the impact on the food system of the Society islands through triple change process. In spite of a phenomenon of acculturation, permanencies are highlighted today, through a fieldwork made up of participating observations in two districts of Tahiti and Moorea, and complementary surveys carried out in the Society archipelago. The study of the report to body and the valorization of the big body size, as well as food habits and representations, in particular to food provisions through gifts, exchanges and festive time sources of a strong social bond, leads to a matter of constitutive factors of the contemporary ma'ohi identity

Full textIn spite of the confrontation of representations imposed by History, our enquiries have shown evidence that the traditional Polynesian outlook on the world is deep and powerful. What is at stake concerning suffering is knowing if what hurts is visible. Polynesian silence has to be translated in terms of what it contains iin order to render what is contained in the very variety of life experiences, knowledges and what is at stake when facing the occult. The denial of pain by Messengers of Paradise and the missionary rejection of traditional representations have but only reinforced misunderstandings about Polynesian suffering. Thus, no one acknowledges the separation from the ancestral link as a historical affliction. The weight of religion and its connected fears plunge Polynesia into a renewed silence containing the symptoms of a forbidden ancestral force and a logic playing on uncertainty in the therapeutic history

Full textAn ethnographic research on marquesan society's contemporary specialists demonstrates the continuation of a tradition through the perpetuation of a political and cultural responsability and through the traditional prestige of an important social group : the tuhuka specialists. The period of contact being, in the marquesas, characterized by the almost complets disappearance of the population at the begining of the xxe century and by the spectacular degradation of the culture, produced a particular context and a following one of cultural renaissance where the contemporary tuhuka acquires his full value as a medium of continuity and of transformation of tradition. The reinterpretation of a hierarchy of value has placed the individual bearing the title of tuhuka nui or master specialist in a position of prestige where power and status are reunited. This evolution finds its explanation in the past, in the essential relation existing between the roles of chief, representative of a divine lineage, of the prophet, spokesman of the gods and of the officiating high priest

Full textThe 50 km2 of coral reef ecosystem that surround the tropical island of moorea (134 km2, 70 km of coastline, 8000 inhabitants, 900 hotel units, french overseas territory status) are the subject of this research. Their social and economic importance has been revealed in an exhaustive analysis of the human activity on the lagoon itself and on the coastal zone, and of the consequences today for the lagoon of fishing, extraction of materials, transport, tourism, the anthropisation of the shoreline etc. . . This present evaluation is informed bu the modifications to the lagoonal environment which were caused by either naturel phenomena or human activity and which have taken place over the past three decades. The report of the various social and economic functions of the lagoon is an inventory of the present situation, quantified in terms of money, man hours and own-consumption, and makes use of an integrated approach to all the lagoon's functions (control, use, protection, information) for the island of moorea. Legal and political aspects of the management of the environment, and particularly of those aspects affecting the lagoon itself, are traced back over the last thirty years for this overseas territory. The future is considered in terms of what could happen to the lagoon if predictions relating to natural phenomena; to demography, to economic development and to global change were to come about. The evidence seems to point to an unavoidable and irreversible degradation of the lagoon. .

Among the first Tahitian Imprints written on the spot, and thanks to a work on their historical presentation and translation annotated with comments, particularly in linguistics, six codes promulgated between 1819 and 1838 display an authentic project of transformation of the Polynesian society, the missionaries willing to reform its customs and habits, protect the people from the chiefs'arbitrariness and the foreigners'negative influence. Their moral, religious, juridical, civil, social,. . . Political, economical and linguistic impacts, both beneficial and harmful, contributed to the setting up of the founding elements of the new Tahitian society and constituted a model for the whole Polynesia

It deals first with a far-off ancestor of Leeward Islands, Hiro, and with the different lines of his descent, replacing the principal known individuals of each of them in the historical framework available elsewhere. One can see a general great coherence of genealogies presented; they allow a better understanding of events which occurred shortly before and during the era of contacts with the early european navigators. A final chapter is devoted to some great families of Windward Islands. Unfortunately, their genealogies are not traced back to a common ancestor, as it is the case for those of Windward Islands. Nevertheless, matrimonial unions among these families, and with Windward Islands ones, enlighten on events related by early european navigators

Full textThe ethnohistory of Anaa, an atoll located in the western part of Tuamotu archipelago in eastern Polynesia, describes the ancient society before evangelism. The first shows the features and the uniqueness of the Anaan ancient society, through the analysis of a traditional corpus of Paea a Avehe (an indgenous born in 1889) which provides unpublished data (myths, sacred songs, genealogies, place names. . . ) collected by F. Stimson in the thirties. The past of the Tuamotuan islands is relatively obscure. This study shows in three parts the traditional use of the atoll resources, the ancient social organization features and some aspects of the tuamotuan ancient beliefs. Continuum between past and present is related to the actual knowledge of the Anaan community and the archaeological stones remains discovered through the analysis of place names. The second part of his work is in a diachronic perspective. The reconstruction of the past of the Anaan community within its former language and its ideology promoted by traditions, shows its peculiar and eminent function through the history of the archipelago. The study of historical heroes and the islands networks shows that the relationships fluctuate between war and alliance

Full textThe geologic map of Tahaa Island ("Ile sous le Vent" located 250 km north-west of Tahiti, Society Archipelago) is proposed. Three periods of aerial building are distinguished. The first period occurs before the collapse of the two calderas between 3. 4 and 3. 2 Ma. With emission of undersaturated, sodic, alcaline lavas with a sodic tendancy. After the collapses (between 3. 2 and 2. 9 Ma), plutonic rock dykes emplace into internal fractures above the magmatic chamber. The tendency is now potassic and the lavas evolve towards mica- and amphibole- bearing trachytes. Earlier crystallizations of basaltic liquids occur at more than 1100°C whereas those of benmoreites and trachytes occur at less than 1000°C, under high oxygene fugacities, in a chamber located between 5 and 6. 5 km depth. During the third period, the adventive cones of Oohai and Pahure were built between 2. 7 and 2. 5 Ma and between 1. 4 and 1. 1 Ma, respectively. The picritic flows from the Oohai adventive cone display abnormal rare earth enrichment with about 0. 2 % average rare earth content. Ln the vugs and intergranular spaces precipitated various types of rare earth-rich minerals. The hydrothermal paragenesis with successively rare earth silicates and Mn-hydroxides, rare earth phosphates and carbonates is unique in the world. This rare earth enrichment resulted from, mixing of rare earth enriched fluids and picritic magmas available at the bottom of the magmatic chamber. The rare earth metal reserve of the Oohai volcano is 45,000 tons. Such rare earth enrichment is attractive considering the economic importance of rare earth metals and the permanent increase of their needs in various industries. Furthermore, the model proposed for the rare earth enrichment in Tahaa Island is particularly interesting because it is the first time that such a rare earth enrichment is described in oceanic volcanic context

Full textLow-lying reef islands and coastal areas of tropical mountainous islands are highly vulnerable to the impacts of tropical cyclones and the expected effects of climate change. However, while the French metropolitan coasts have benefited from a significant effort to assess their long-term changes, French overseas islands are the least documented areas in French Territory. Based on this observation, this thesis examines the respective contribution of natural and anthropogenic drivers in the past evolution of reef islands (French Polynesia) and mountainous island beaches (Northern Lesser Antilles). This study relies on a combined approach between geomatic and fieldwork. From a multi-scalar (spatial and temporal) analysis, we detect and attribute the planimetric changes experienced by the sedimentary systems of the studied islands. Results on reef islands are comparable to those of previous studies which established that most of the islands have been stable or in expansion over the last decades. They allow to suggest conceptual models of long-term trajectories and examine the respective contribution of the drivers considered in this study. On mountainous island beaches, this study shows that local settings explain the high longitudinal variability detected in various climatic situations. In addition, this study contributes to the global samples of studied islands and to move forward on the understanding of past coastal changes in French overseas islands

Full textUp until the 1980's, the anthropology of the Taiohae Marquesan society depended mainly on the testimonies of Kruzenshter and Langsdorff, members of the russian expedition that made a stop over in May 1804, as well as on the account of Joseph Kabris, a French adventurer who lived there at the same time. The publication in Australia of the journal of Edward Robarts, an English adventurer who lived therre at the same time, propelled the first change in classic ideas concerning the "barbary" of th Marquesan society. Now, the opening of the Russian archives, and especially those of the Navy, offer more testimonies from people who participated in the 1804 expedition. This dissertation offers a translation of these new accounts, with commentaries aiming to explain the particular point of view of each author, based on his personal background and cultural imprint. For this purpose, each author's biography has been researched, as well as the cultural facts concerning 19th century Russia. The comparison of the different testimonies enbles the reader to have a more precise view of the true historic facts, and to build a better understanding of the marquesan society as compared to the earlier accounts. Kruzenshtern's text, while accurate in many respects, deserve criticism in some others. Some navigators' lives inspired several literay works, as did, for example, Rezanov's life. This is the reason why this dissertation pays particular attention to his biography, as well as to the story of his conflict with Kruzenshtern, that erupted while in Taiohae, and which Russian historians concealed ever since 1880

Full textThe study conducted in French Polynesia focuses on how primary school principals deal with situations they consider complex. We focus on what they say about these situations through interview surveys. The situation considered complex is studied through the constraint convened by the action of an Other (teacher, parent, mayor, etc.) which opposes the constraint induced by one of the attributions defining the role of the primary school principal. This double constraint establishes the logical levels of the situation (the system) and constitutes infra-systems that maintain fusion-separation relations (Barel, 1989). Then, the constraints in opposition deliver a contrary meaning and, the primary school principal perceives the paradox of the situation. To master it, he implements one or more double strategies (Barel, 1989) through the triangulation of relationships that allows us to grasp the process of producing meaning. Indeed, the third party (subject/object) is not random. Taken in context, it is the fruit of an unconscious choice by the primary school principal according to the figure of criticism analysed through common superior principles (Boltanski and Thévenot, 1991). The combinations between actors engaged by the third party proceed by actualization/potentiation of relations and form the double strategy of compartmentalisation, compromise or double bind. Thus, this research makes it possible to understand the way in which the primary school principals master the situations judged complex by a game of visibilization/invisibilization of the relations to make "as if" the paradox did not exist

Full textBirgus latro is a Coenobitidae which only depends on the marine environment for its larval development. It lives on coral islands and islets and atolls in the inter tropical Indo-Pacific ocean. This study was carries out of the populations found on Lifou and Vauvilliers, respectively an island and islet of the Loyaulty archipelago, and on that of Taiaro in the Tuamotus by way of comparaison. The natural population of Birgus latro on Vauvilliers was a life expectancy about 10 years corresponding to thoracic sizes of 60 mm for the males and 43 mm for the females. Sexual maturity appears between 2 and 3 years for a size of 25 mm and the natural death rate is 0. 19. The individual trophic space is 0. 5 hectare. Seasonal migrations take place for reproduction, laying of eggs and moulting. On Lifou the stock is estimated at 780,000 ± 100,000, i. E. A density of 27. 5 crabs/ha ± 3. . Each year, the catch is about 5% of the stock. Juvenile crabs live under piles of vegetation between the cliff and the ocean ; once adult, they head inland. Until an age of 1 year and a size of 7 mm, juveniles protect thier abdomen by way of a shell ; these shells must be changed every four mouths. The crab's biotope is shared with other land Crustaceans. It is the third mos commun species in the community

Full textA study carried out in 1992 by the Polynesian Center of Human Sciences indicated that traditional Polynesian medicine was as frequently used as conventional medicine (Grand, 2007). Otherwise, this practice has been studied just a little to date. This survey, carried out on the islands of Raiatea and Tahaa (Society archipelago), aimed to inventory the plants used in remedies for infectious diseases and to determine the antimicrobial activity of certain methanolic plant extracts by measuring of their MIC (minimal inhibitory concentration). The synergistic antibacterial effect of some species associations by the chessboard method was characterized (calculation of the FIC index). Cytotoxicity was measured on hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (Hep-G2) by MTT test. This study is one of the first conducted in the Leeward Islands. A plant species, whose extract had antimicrobial properties, was the subject of a phytochemical study: Syzygium malaccense. For the first time, ginkgolics acids / anacardics acids were isolated and identified in this species (by chromatographics, spectroscopics, mass methods and nuclear magnetic resonance technique)

Full textThe objective of this research is to contribute ti the understanding of the influence of culture on the adoption and use of IT by very small businesses in the tourism sector. We propose to develop a conceptual framework adapted to very small businesses. Field studies are carried out in French Polynesia, which has strong offer of familiy guest houses. The methodology use dis the multisite ethnographic case study. The results demonstrate a strong link between culture and IT adoption and use

Full textThe strategic mobilization of multidimensional political resources allows the political leader to take power in a political space. Then, the leader uses a combination of political capacities to keep the power and extend his domination. Thus, the political leadership of the Boss Gaston Flosse, in the overseas collectivity of French Polynesia, has become a personal rule inside the French Republic. The domination of the Polynesian sociopolitical space is illustrated by the plasticity of an authoritarian leadership, which questions the expressions of democracy in Tahiti, and in the French political regime
