Abstract EN:

Born in 1985, the kanak popular schools were an "analyser" of the contradictions of the independentist movement in newcaledonia. They offered a new status to country people, to women and to children, which engendered much resistance. Pupils constitute the moving force of a development which is generated in their environment to give energy to this environment. The pedagogy used has something to do with the pedagogy of the the oppressed. In order to undestand what is, consciously or unconsciously, at stake in the kanak popular schools, the autor placing himself in a position of intercultural interview, analyses the process of genesis of the concepts, invents a method of speech analysis about official reports of the kanak popular schools inspired by the theory of catastrophes, and analyses his own institutional implication, including through poetic writing.

Abstract FR:

Nees en 1985, les ecoles populaires kanak (epk) furent un analyseur des contradictions du mouvement independantiste en nouvelle-caledonie. Elles donnerent un statut nouveau a la paysannerie, aux femmes et aux enfants, ce qui genera de nombreuses resistances. Les eleves sont les moteurs d'un developpement qui part du milieu pour dynamiser le milieu. La pedagogie mise en oeuvre est proche de la pedagogie des opprimes. Pour comprendre les enjeux conscients et inconscients des epk, l'auteur analyse le processus de naissance des concepts en situation interculturelle d'entretien, invente une methode d'analyse du discours inspiree de la theorie des catastrophes, et analyse sa propre implication institutionnelle, y compris par l'ecriture poetique.
