  • Field Research (2005 to 2008)
    — Université Catholique de l'Ouest - Angers
    By comparing the views of different communities involved, the interview survey conducted in Noumea and its suburbs, returns a picture of how people defend their cultural affiliations, perceive the other, express their similarities and differences.
  • Field Research (2008 to 2011)
    — Université Catholique de l'Ouest - Angers
    This research approches the effectiveness of a new ritual in a postcolonial context marked by the uncertain political future of New Caledonia. The question concerns the transposition of the Kanak symbolism from one context to another and the opportunity to make of this symbolic a support for identification of an emerging "nation". Combining culture and politics, the initiative of Mwâ Kââ can it be seen as an expression of an offensive identity whose aim is to proceed, from referents Kanak, an opening between historically opposing groups?
