%0 Journal Article %T Soqotra %A Serge Elie %J Chroniques Y¨¦m¨¦nites %D 2010 %I %X L¡¯ le de Socotra, avant-poste lointain des fronti¨¨res de l'¨¦tat y¨¦m¨¦nite dans l'Oc¨¦an Indien, est une communaut¨¦ de composition ethnique m¨¦lang¨¦e, qui a sa langue propre. Elle offre un cadre sociopolitique id¨¦al pour l'¨¦tude des relations entre ¨¦tat et collectivit¨¦ en termes de formation politique. La formation politique de Socotra s¡¯est r¨¦alis¨¦e ¨¤ travers une s¨¦rie d'actes d'int¨¦gration politique men¨¦s par les diff¨¦rents r¨¦gimes politiques qui se sont succ¨¦d¨¦s depuis la fin du xixe si¨¨cle. L'¨¦tude de ce processus est accompagn¨¦e d¡¯un r¨¦cit historique de la politique administrative de quatre diff¨¦rents r¨¦gimes dot¨¦s de modes de gouvernement politique distincts et ayant des effets structurants sur la vie collective des Socotri-s. Soqotra Island, the remote border outpost of the Yemeni state in the Indian Ocean, is a community of mixed ethnic composition with a non-Arabic mother tongue. It offers an ideal socio-political context for the study of state-community relations in terms of polity formation as part of a political incorporation process. Polity formation in Soqotra occurred through a series of acts of political incorporation by a succession of political regimes from the late 19th century to the present. The study of this process is pursued through a historical narrative of the politics of administration of four different political regimes with their distinctive modes of polity regimentation and their structuring effects on Soqotrans¡¯ communal life. %U http://cy.revues.org/1766
