       in a globalised space -- Objects of war -- The chiefdoms

520 1  War and Other Means describes and analyses the practices 
       of war, the 'objects of war' and the conventions of the 
       use of violence in Houaïlou, New Caledonia. It focuses on 
       the colonial repression conducted in 1856 and after, the 
       anti-sorcerer hunt in 1955, the independence mobilisation 
       in the 1980s and the village feuds in the 2000s. Through 
       this archaeology of violence, it reports on the practical 
       inventiveness, intelligence and cunning of the Kanaks 
       involved in social, often violent, conflicts. The use of 
       archival material and recourse to the oral stories 
       gathered from the inhabitants of Houaïlou restores the 
       depth of these historical moments and the nested contexts 
       of the political action that unfolded; it also questions 
       the value and limits of fieldwork investigation. These 
       episodes are moments of change in the social, 
       administrative, land and political organisation of New 
       Caledonia; they make it possible to understand, from 
       France's takeover to the present day, the real modalities 
       of implementation of colonial and postcolonial 
       governmentality. The attention given to the invention, the
       importation or the adaptation of repressive techniques, 
       closely linked to the French experience in Algeria, opens 
       up a geopolitics of colonisation. Through this detailed 
       description of the social logics of conflict, Michel 
       Naepels also invites us to reflect on the place of 
       European fantasies on violence and on the representations 
       of otherness.
