Abstract

The travel story of Thierry Robinet appears as a text that offers diversified looks on the ecology of Indonesia as having a great natural diversity. In navigating the Mémoires de routes: les îles de la sonde, we see that questioning the relationship between human beings and nature is unavoidable. The work thus proposes to show how the author perceives and characterizes the nature of Indonesian archipelago. We look at later, always in an ecocritique perspective, the relationship and interaction between human beings and nature in the work. The result shows that the author, as a Westerner, seems to characterize the nature Indonesian archipelago as being dynamic, wild, dangerous, and full of mysteries, wealth and wonders. The relation human-nature happens in the practice of  nature conservation and the practice of multiform domination which exploits and destroys nature for the benefit of human.
