| Summary: | This article explores the values attributed to nature and how they are articulated in a particular territory, the French sub-Antarctic islands. Since these islands do not have permanent populations and are not exploited for their biological or mining resources, the values directly utilitarian are not present there, and the other types of values are expressed more widely than in more classical situations. By conducting sociological surveys of the residents of Kerguelen and on board the Marion Dufresne, we were able to draw up a typology of the values expressed and how they were assigned by the individuals. Most of the values identified are plural, such as values of authenticity, affective, spiritual, or science-related values, and are expressed in different ways. However, we did not observe any significant variations based on social categorizations such as age, gender or occupational status. We have distinguished the « value-principle » from the « values-object », that is, the different attributes of nature that are endowed with value. We were then able to study the modes of adherence to these values, which can be shared or cleavant, and compare them with their legitimacy to justify the principles of action. Cet article explore les valeurs attribuées à la nature et la façon dont elles s’articulent dans un territoire particulier, les îles subantarctiques françaises. Dans la mesure où ces îles n’ont pas de populations permanentes et ne sont pas exploitées pour leurs ressources biologiques ou minières, les valeurs directement utilitaristes y sont peu présentes, et les autres types de valeurs sont exprimés plus largement que dans des situations plus classiques. En effectuant des enquêtes sociologiques auprès des résidents de Kerguelen et à bord du Marion Dufresne, nous avons pu dresser une typologie des valeurs exprimées et de leur mode d'affectation par les individus. La plupart des valeurs identifiées sont plurielles, telles les valeurs d'authenticité, les valeurs affectives, spirituelles, ou celles liées aux ... |
