L’ignorance partagée, obstacle à la construction caribéenne

  • Reno Fred Université des Antilles, Pole Martinique

Abstract

Dans sa tribune intitulée “L’ignorance, obstacle à la construction caribéen­ne”, le professeur Réno souligne le décalage entre les attentes en ter­mes d’acquisition de savoirs et les connaissances réellement acquises sur les réalités caribéennes. Par une analyse comparative basée sur un échantillon d’étudiants de l’Université des Antilles, cette tribune démontre la nécessité de mettre en place un so­cle commun de connaissances sur les études caribéennes. La création d’es­paces collaboratifs entre établisse­ments d’enseignement supérieur de la Caraïbe pourra être facilitée à terme par l’implication des organisations universitaires telles que Universities Caribbean ou La Corpuca. Ainsi, le partage de l’ignorance laissera place au partage de connaissances histori­ques, socioculturelles, économiques et politiques sur la grande Caraïbe. C’est à cette seule condition que les identités caribéennes pourront fu­sionner, se développer et se recréer harmonieusement.
