| Summary: | The third edition of the multidisciplinary Scientific Study Day (JES 2017) of the ADJC association invites us to question about the heritage of the island societies of the Caribbean region. With the challenges facing them, how will their future be in the coming decades?At first sight, the term ‘heritage’ refers to the notion of a transmission of material goods. Nevertheless, this definition has developed over time and, nowadays, includes not only physical objects but also elements which are of an intangible nature (landscapes, traditions, languages, gastronomy, etc.). Two major categories appear: the natural heritage and the cultural heritage (Fourcade, 2007; Le Hégarat, 2015). More and more studies are interested in the natural and cultural resources related to the heritage of the island territories (Kesteloot, 2001; Abenon et al., 2002; Bardolph, 2002; Furlong, 2009; Zanoaga, 2012; Sainton et al., 2013; Joseph et al., 2018).Consider the diversity of the heritage in the scientific research becomes urgent to define better the future of our island societies that have undeniable natural and cultural wealth and to act accordingly. The researcher does not have to position any more as an observer of past, preservative and protective, but as an actor proposing alternative strategies to improve community life (Bluestone, 2000; Battiste, 2007; Silverman and Ruggles, 2007). |
