Description
Summary:This article is based on an ongoing research project on a Fourth-World society, the Inuit (Eskimo) society of the Canadian Arctic. The author shows that the development models which have been elaborated for the Third-World cannot be applied as they are to this type of society. In addition, because of the Inuit cultural phenomena of eponymy and inversed gender socialization, the theories on the integration of women into development do not correspond to Inuit women's lives. Cette note porte sur une recherche en cours dans une société du Quart-Monde, la société inuit de l'Arctique canadien. L'auteure montre que les modèles de développement élaborés dans le Tiers-Monde ne s'appliquent pas tels quels à ce type de société. De plus, étant donné les phénomènes de l'éponymie et de la socialisation inversée caractéristiques de la culture inuit, la problématique de l'intégration des femmes dans le développement ne correspond pas non plus au vécu des femmes inuit.
