TI  - From socio-historical inventiveness to the process of participatory innovation in the Haitian mutualist system (Southern Peninsula) 
AU  - Charly Camilien VICTOR 
AB  - This contribution questions the inherent denial of economist and developmentalist logic associated with the dissemination of innovation theories. Reconsidering this process from a socio-historical perspective enables us to view it from the angle of resistance, using the Haitian mutualist system as an example. The persistence of socio-communal soli-darity practices (Konbit, Eskwad, etc.) specific to this system proves that social innovation can serve to recover existing models. The experiences of different local structures, such as OCPGA and REMIFA, with their Mutuals of Solidarity (MuSo) and Kosodes with their Tontines Sòl practice, bear witness to survival strategies against the hegemonic process of formal-izing exogenous innovation ideas from the outside. So how can we innovate without dominating and destroying? Viewing social innovation as a participatory process of resistance that preserves rather than dispossesses offers a viable alternative to the dominant framework.
