Quelques semaines avant un séjour en Irlande, il y avait eu sur France Inter cet invité nocturne. De ceux qu’on laisse généralement divertir les murs, nez plongé dans Ouest-France, attablé sur un sandwich trop tardif, éponge d’un apéro trop long. Cette fois-ci, il causait caravanes, côte ouest, Gypsies, rassemblement évangéliste, foire aux chevaux, combats clandestins, dialecte, Irlande et Travellers. Il a fallu tendre l’oreille, on n’a pas si souvent l’occasion d’entendre le mot manouche sur les ondes nationales de France. Ce gars parlait de son voyage à la rencontre de ces nomades, une aventure loin des routes celtiques, des boulevards James Joyce et des virées Ryanair d’amoureux maquillés d’ovalie à Dublin. Son récit sonnait comme une sociologie d’un peuple minorisé, invisible, quelques degrés de plus au panorama de l’Internationale des « Gens du v’ », à la rencontre des Travellers d’Irlande. Bout d’une discussion avec Guillaume Thouroude, écrivain mais pas que (la suite de son CV dans le prochain JeanMarie Magazine papier). Photo de Kenneth O’Halloran (www.kennethohalloran.com).

-Les Travellers, sujets de ton bouquin, répondent aux codes de certaines des populations nomades en France. Avais-tu déjà eu l’occasion d’approcher ces communautés manouches, gitanes, yéniches dans l’Hexagone?

Non, je ne connaissais pas bien les nomades français, mais le nomadisme était déjà inscrit dans mon histoire familiale. Les premiers textes que j’ai écrits en Irlande ne traitaient nullement des Travellers, en fait. Ce sont les directeurs de la collection “Voyage au pays des …”, aux éditions Cartouche, qui m’ont mis sur la voie de ce sujet d’étude. Moi, je leur proposais un récit sur les populations d’Irlande du nord, trop peu connues en France. Parmi ces divers “peuples”, j’ai inclus un paragraphe sur les Travellers, et cela a attiré l’attention des éditeurs. Après un échange de courriels, puis une rencontre à Paris, on s’est décidé pour un récit de voyage ethnographique sur cette minorité nomade irlandaise. C’est alors seulement que je suis devenu un connaisseur de la question, en faisant d’importantes recherches et en menant des enquêtes sur toute l’Irlande.

 

-C’est assez fascinant que tu aies eu accès à autant d’informateurs dans cette population qui limite ses échanges avec l’extérieur. Tu peux nous donner ta recette méthodologique? Dis-nous que tu as souffert un moment quand même avant d’approcher tous ces gars? Quelles ont été les difficultés majeures rencontrées sur le terrain?

Je vivais en Irlande du nord depuis quelques années, après avoir vécu en Irlande un certain nombre d’années, donc j’avais beaucoup de contacts qui pouvaient m’orienter. C’est vrai que j’ai connu des moments de peur dans mes premières approches, car tout le monde me disait que c’était très risqué de s’approcher des Travellers. J’ai eu la chance de rencontrer des personnages, tels que le prêtre catholique Father Paddy, qui jouissent d’une grande confiance dans la communauté fermée des Travellers. Du moment qu’il avait confiance en moi, il pouvait m’introduire n’importe où. De même, des Travellers un peu singuliers, comme ce pasteur pentecôtiste qui met en scène son enfance de Traveller dans ses sermons, vous ouvrent facilement leur porte car ce qu’ils cherchent avant tout, c’est de vous convertir à leur cause (en l’espèce, me “sauver” par le Christ). Le seul problème, dans une telle enquête, est d’avoir assez de patience pour obtenir l’information de l’existence de tels intercesseurs, puis d’obtenir d’eux des rendez-vous.

La plus grande difficulté dans mon entreprise est en fait une sorte d’échec : je ne suis pas parvenu à vivre avec un groupe de Travellers en voyage. J’aurais aimé nomadiser avec eux et expérimenter de l’intérieur leur mode de vie. Cela ne m’a pas été donné.  

 

-Dans ton récit, on sent aussi un profond respect, attachement pour certains personnages. Gardes-tu contact avec certains d’entre eux aujourd’hui? T’imagines-tu retourner les voir à l’occasion d’un prochain passage ?

Oui, c’est vrai que j’ai ressenti beaucoup d’affection pour la plupart des Travellers que j’ai rencontrés, ce qui est souvent le cas quand on parvient à franchir les obstacles qui nous séparaient des gens que l’on veut rencontrer. Il se trouve qu’ils sont sympas, chaleureux et directs. J’ai gardé contact avec quelques personnages du livre, certains sont devenus des amis, mais comme la grande majorité des Travellers est illettrée, pour conserver des contacts avec eux, il faut être près d’eux. J’espère avoir l’occasion de retourner les voir.

Mieux que les mots fléchés et le Sudoku réunis, à la page jeux, on vous propose aujourd’hui une histoire en anglais à comprendre du début à la fin.Parce que JeanMarie aime la littérature en VO non sous-titrée.
Une nouvelle d’Alice M. Cooper (en photo, Fanny Durack, grande championne australienne) :




The Belle View Retirement Home occupies the northern-most head of a popular seaside town on the NSW south coast. The renovated Victorian mansion faces east towards the ocean; its presence welcomed by a generous glass window along its front facade.  Inside, in one of the ocean view rooms, Elizabeth, an elderly woman with long silvery grey hair looks intently at the back of her right hand. With some initial hesitation, she gently strokes her skin. It is dry and scaly to touch. A faint smile grows on her face. Finally, she whispers to herself.
 
On the wall above Elizabeth’s dressing table is a large framed collage of faded newspaper articles and washed-out photographs. Headlines herald her past Olympic star-dome Girl from Gabo goes for Gold! Angel Fish finds fame again! A hatrick for Gabo Girl! Ooh la la! Angel does it again- in Paris! All tell a similar story.
 
A nurse walks into the room carrying freshly pressed bed sheets. She sees the old lady, hunched over, staring intently at her hand. 
Everything all right Liz? The nurse asks. 
Yes, thank you Marie, she replies with a kind smile, her eyes still transfixed by her hand.
The nurse starts to pull the linen off the bed and throws it into a big white pile by the door.
Elizabeth sniffs her skin, then licks her hand; it tastes of salt.
Your favourite tonight Liz.
Favourite-?
Dinner. Your favourite dinner? She raises her eyebrows in surprise to Elizabeth’s vague response. She waits a moment for the old lady to come to, but she doesn’t so she fills her in.
Fish pie with mushy peas.
Oh, yes…of course… that…it’s Tuesday. Elizabeth fays enthusiasm. I’m not so hungry right now- I’ll see how I feel later on.
You’re not going vegetarian on me are you? Marie queries good-naturedly.
No, No, No, I’m just not sure I feel like eating ‘Nemo’ tonight…as my grandkids would say.
Marie laughs as she tucks in the bed corners Whatever floats your boat my little mermaid The nurse picks up the dirty laundry. I’ll be back in in a bit with your medicine. She leaves the room closing the door behind her.
The old lady returns her concentration to her hand.
 
Elizabeth has always lived by the sea. She feels uneasy if she’s too far from it, a little claustrophobic. Once, on a family holiday to the Snowy Mountains, she told her family she was going for a quick dip. Some eight hours later, she returned having hightailed it to the closest beach some a hundred and fourty kilometres away. As a child she was surrounded by water. Her mother told her she was born in a rock-pool, and even though she never quite believed her, she understood what she meant. Her father was a mason, with a particular affinity with granite and it was for this reason Liz spent much of her early years on Gabo Island, where her father worked on the lighthouse. It was cold on Gabo. A sparsely inhabited island off the Victorian east coast, it was known for two things : its pink granite lighthouse and treacherous waters that had caught many a mariner off guard. It was here in the chilly waters of Bass Strait, she first learned to swim. It was here she began to become the Headline ‘Australian woman from island embraces an unorthodox Breaststroke and claims Olympic Gold.’
 
‘Well, to be honest, I just follow the others, they seem to have the hang of it’ she would timidly tell the eager sports journalists. For years everyone thought she meant the ‘other’ swimmers, but that was it with Liz, she never really gave much away.  Her family were the only ones who knew the real story. Revealed in absolute confidence at the very end of Christmas lunch in 1962, as the mince pies were being shared around the table, she told her husband and four children.  
‘-Now, you can’t laugh and you definitely can’t tell your friends… 
-Mr Ted? Piped Neville, the smallest of the children and referring to his teddy bear. 
-Only if Mr Ted doesn’t tell Big Truck she bargained with him. But, the ‘the others’ were, were… she struggled with her words, they were fairy penguins mostly…she paused and whales and fish, but mostly the penguins’.
 
There was no doubt her style of breaststroke was unquestionably unusual. After diving in, Elizabeth would remain under water for a very long time, much longer than the other swimmers, and often for nearly half the length of the pool. At the time, the theory was you should surface as soon as possible and indeed it took some checking for the Olympics officials to determine if her unique approach was even allowed. Surfacing again, she took a breath, but unlike other swimmers she went under for two strokes rather than the standard one. This gave her a rhythm much smoother and faster than her competitors.
 
Liz swam during an era when the Olympics were truly amateur so the question of who coached her never came up. Still there were questions and mystery surrounding how she ever learnt to swim. It was well known there were only two families permanently in residence on Gabo Island and a few military personnel from time to time. Few of this tiny population could swim, fewer could have taught to swim an innovative style of breaststroke. 
 
Dusk arrived and the galas took up their positions along Belle View’s verandah railing. It was around then, that Marie came back to check if Elizabeth would like some dinner brought to her. She was surprised to find the door ajar, her wheelchair missing and the room, spotless. On her bed was a beautifully inscribed note written on a piece of fine cream linen paper. It said simply:
 
Just gone to see the others. Don’t worry I’ll be fine. Liz x
 
And so she was. In the late afternoon Elizabeth with the aid of a naïve and helpful porter, had taken a taxi to the beach. She asked the driver to wheel her on to the sand and thanked him. After he had left, she took off her robe and revealed a woolen bathing suit circa 1932 with a little woven Australian flag sewn onto the hip. Maneuvering herself carefully off the seat she shuffled her way into the shallows of the sea and began to swim out. Night began to fall and the Kiama lighthouse blinkered in the distance. 
The next day local fishermen claimed to have seen a pod of dolphins out past the heads and on the shore, a young girl scooped up a little woven flag and ran to her dad.

Parce qu’on s’enthousiasme à chaque nouvelle rencontre sur Direct 8, parce que le football féminin est l’avenir du ballon rond, JeanMarie a tenté d’approcher le vestiaire. Plus encore dans le prochain numéro papier. Bientôt. Surveillez le kiosquier. 

Tu joueras au foot, mon fils. A Jersey, il y a un petit jeune qui a mieux réussi que les autres, c’est Graeme Le Saux, ancien international anglais, ancien latéral gauche de Chelsea. Il aura marqué son époque, Graeme  lisait le Guardian dans le vestiaire, allait traîner au musée après l’entrainement, était inscrit à la fac d’éco. Trop malin pour en sortir intact. Trop esthète pour ne pas être victime d’attaques homophobes sur les terrains, trop fin pour ne pas être traité de fillette. D’ailleurs, parlons sport de filles, c’est handball, nage avec palmes ou danse africaine au programme. A Jersey, les nanas ont enfilé le short des gars et sont allées jusqu’à disputer les Islands Games (à ne pas confondre avec les levers de tronc des Highlands Games écossais). Un événement qui permet aux insulaires d’un peu partout dans lemonde mais majoritairement rosbeefs (on trouve au tableau des médailles Guernesey, Ile de Man, Ile de Wight, Shetland, Anglesey, Groenland, Bermudes, Iles Caïman, Rhodes, Gibraltar…) d’en découdre sur la piste d’athlé mais aussi en ping-pong et en boules. Une place de 8ème en 2011, pour faire mieux à la prochaine édition, il leur faut un coach à l’ancienne, un poète, du genre à trouver les bons mots pour motiver ses troupes, citation extraite de « Coup de tête », JJ Annaud : « La technique elle est simple, on va leur taper dans l’chou à ces merdeux, ils nous ont traités de gonzesses, on va leur faire voir si on a des p’tites bites ».
