| description | The Caribbean island territories are facing multiple socio-ecological crises, where the so–called "residual" environments – such as urbanized gullies - crystallize forms of conflicting appropriation, urban marginalization and increased exposure to risks. Based on research conducted in several fields (Haiti, Martinique, Guadeloupe), this article examines how certain local practices of adaptation and self-organization can prefigure an alternative territorial governance, based on the emergence of negative commons (Bonnet, Landivar, Monnin 2021). These commons, resulting from weakened territorial legacies, can initiate shared resilience dynamics, provided they are anchored in local forms of regulation and care for the territory.This article is an extension of a communication presented at the Tropical Islands and biodiversity symposium (University of the West Indies, 2024), as part of the axis "Coviability: protection, conservation and enhancement of island ecosystem resources". Without directly mobilizing the concept of coviability, it proposes a complementary reading of the issues of cohabitation between environments and societies, based on the dynamics of commons and local resilience.The methodological approach mobilizes transects (Tixier 2016), methodological observation (Careri 2020) as well as Michel Lussault’s reflections on vulnerability as a shared condition and on the need for a "geo-care", to think of located forms of resilience. The article questions the possibility of establishing a territorial governance sensitive to environments and uses, beyond technical approaches to risk management. This research thus questions the conditions for the construction of an anchored territorial governance, capable of responding to the complexity of fragile island environments. |
