| Summary: | The contribution we propose takes as a starting point doctoral research that does not focus specifically on the landscape but rather on the impact of development and conservation on the social and spatial organization of Vezo fishermen in South-Western Madagascar. In our study we conduct our analysis from the perspective of the landscape and use the thinking of Augustin Berque as a guiding principle. The Vezo space is mobile (Retaillé, 2005) and external interferences have tended to divide it into zones of which a marine reserve is one of the latest illustrations. After the presentation of the Vezo way of life followed by the presentation of the development-conservation approach imposed from the outside, we conduct a detailed analysis of the creation of the nature reserves in Andavadoake by an English NGO and bring to light the contradiction between the sensory world of the fishermen and the intangible world of scientists in biodiversity. Since the Vezos have no word for landscape we consider the notion of a cosmophany (Berque, 1998, 2019). The observation of socio-spatial transformations takes the form of an ethno-geographic immersive study and interviews over time that reveal the establishment of protected marine areas as being an ontological disruption. At the Aquapa conference in Tours in January 2019, following the presentation of our paper, Augustin Berque put forward the notion of cosmocide to describe the socio-spatial impact of conservation policies on the Vezo. We are studying this proposition. |
