HABIT-ANT ?
HABITANT ? Is a hybride research project that explore how
being involved in Antarctica and in the subantarctic can brings to
a process of insider anthropology or anthropology at Home that
involved more than the expeditioner
This programm has a 3 years field support by the IPEV (French
Polar Institut, n°1237) since 2020
Because of the pandemia the field work is postpone to 2021
HABIT-ANT ?
Based on field work experience :
With regard to the modalities of access and occupation, management
and representation of these so-called "uninhabitable" and "protected"
places, which are subject to multiple and singular (material)
constraints, (social) conditions and (ethical) conventions.
OBJECTIF
To restore by analyzing our experiences of these places, with the tools
and methods from the human and social sciences:
— contemporary archaeology
— Participatory Action Research.
HABIT-ANT ?
The challenge of this programme is therefore also, following the
example of SC-HASS, to foster the emergence, or at least the
development, in France, of a research community in the
Humanities and social Sciences that encourages dialogue between
disciplines and non-institutional approaches from civil society.
HABIT-ANT ?
OVERALL FIELD GOAL 2020-2021 POSTPONED TO 2021-2022
- ACQUIRE DATA LOCATED AND RELATED TO THE VERY EXPERIENCE OF
PRESENCE ON BASE.
- Conduct an analysis of the habitat of the polar bases and historical sites with the
tools and methods of art history and contemporary archaeology : Analyze base
habitat as a cultural process;Assess the presence of a heritage process
- To experiment a methodology of Participatory Action Research (PAR).To test
several devices resulting from PAR that promote inter-knowledge, the
implementation of collective intelligence and workshops resulting from co-
construction, adapted to the sites, its users and its managers.PROJECT BASED ON FIELD EXPERIENCE FROM
Earth Science and Climate ES
more than 2 decades research on the general circulation in
Southern Ocean with a focus on dense water formation, the
ecosystem on the Adelie Land shelf and the Antarctic Climate

MISSION OUTCOME
• DIVERGENCE of heritage: does everyone's history
coincide with everyone's history?
• DISPARITÉ documentary and testimonial sources
• RARETY work in humanity and social sciences in this
field of study.
ISSUES OF COEXISTENCE, WHAT DIALOGUE?
Coexistence of heterogeneous socio-professional
environments,
Coexistence of the development of community life and the
inclusion of "missions" in heritage time,
Coexistence of the exercise of sovereignty, environmental
protection, deployment of research,
Coexistence of the uninhabitable and the habitable.

Process and modes analysis in the bases located in Kerguelen,
Crozet, Saint-Paul et Amsterdam et de terre Adélie.
This research is carried out as part of a PhD They focus on the notion
of "inhabiting", a notion thought by many sectors of the human and
social sciences (philosophy, geography, anthropology, etc.) but also by
the theories of architecture and urban planning.
While many of these studies often place a sociological foundation to
this process, the point here is to consider the inhabiting as an
implementation of human technical capacity.
Approaching this notion with the methodological tools provided by the
discipline of contemporary archaeology is therefore tantamount to
asking the question:
what inhabitation mean technically?

• For the conduct of this study, the HABIT-ANT? program responds to a need for
access to the field. On the one hand, it will make it possible to compare the
theoretical model mobilized with a participatory observation of life on the base.
• It will then allow a comparative approach to the data collected during the first
mission carried out in 2013-2014 in Kerguelen and will also compare two
experiments carried out several years apart.
• Finally, it will enable an investigation to be set up with and among mission
personnel as well as with the players involved in this contemporary polar history
in metropolitan France and Reunion Island (headquarters of the French Southern
and Antarctic Lands, home port of the Marion-Dufresne and Astrolabe).

FIELD WORK ON BOARD AND ON BASE :
Adelie land sites
Dumont-d’Urville and Robert Guillard stations
Astrolabe.
• Observation and experimentation of habitat practices: pedestrian prospecting,
manipulation of space by traffic and installation,
• Recording of field data (photographic survey),
• Distribution of paper and dematerialized questionnaires and individual
interviews,
• Analysis and (photographic) collection of testimonial data (archives, books etc.),
• Monitoring and collection of participatory action research devices.
