  4. Je n’ai pas vraiment l’habitude de faire ce type de messages, mais j’ai une petite demande pour la communauté française de #wikipedia. Le Rex Nouméa, un des centres culturels majeurs de Kanaky–Nouvelle-Calédonie, à définitivement fermé en cette fin d’année 2025. Mais malgré son importance culturelle et sociale, il n’existe pas de page Wikipédia dédiée. Est-ce qu’il serait possible d’en créer une ?

    Le Roof is a restaurant on stilts, with a room open to the lagoon. Above the water, at the end of the jetty, it welcomes people in a wooden decor with a contemporary style. At lunch or dinner, the spectacle of the sea, the fish and the reflection of the sun is splendid. Some evenings, dolphins come and party…

    In the deep south of New Caledonia, laterite is a brick-red soil resulting from the weathering of an iron-bearing rock.

  19. How to understand interracial intimacies in a colonial context, when they mainly developed "under the administrative radar," thus leaving few traces? Following the trajectory of one such family in New Caledonia with ethnographic and archival work, Adrian Muckle and Benoît Trépied reflect on the possibilities and limits of such intimate relationships, whose invisibility reveals tells us much about the limitations of colonial control.

    VPRO Frontline: *The Green Illusion*

    youtube.com/watch?v=H_mt4oPPWG

    "Nowhere is the downside of energy transition more visible than in #NewCaledonia. The French archipelago has large #nickel reserves, which are essential for electric cars. #France therefore wants to preserve the strategic area, with major consequences for both #biodiversity and the original inhabitants, the #Kanak. Bram Vermeulen investigates these tensions for #VPRO Frontline.

    While #Europe seeks a green revolution, New Caledonia's nickel industry causes large-scale environmental #pollution and threatens the island's unique biodiversity. The effects of "mining are visible everywhere: excavated mountaintops, ruined mangroves. What was once a tropical paradise is slowly turning into a barren moonscape.

    For the Kanak, the original inhabitants of New Caledonia, the consequences are even more dire. Their dependence on fishing is threatened by toxic “zones du mort” in the mangroves, caused by waste from the mines and refineries. Ironically, the nickel plants are powered by #coal and largely owned by foreign companies, including French parties. …"
