Résumé
Cet article est la traduction du texte Of seals and souls: Changes in the position of seals in the world-view of Icelandic small-scale fishermen publié en 1990 dans le volume 3, numéro 2 de la revue Maritime Anthropological Studies. Il a été traduit par Karina Gerdau. Cet article traite des changements d’attitude des artisans pêcheurs islandais envers les phoques. Le matériel sur lequel cette étude se fonde provient d'un travail de terrain dans un village de pêcheurs de la côte est de l’Islande, mais aussi de l'expérience de l'auteur en tant que participant natif à la pêche artisanale. L’argument souvent avancé est que pour comprendre un changement culturel particulier, il convient de voir de quelle façon il est « externally induced yet indigenously orchestrated » (Sahlins, 1985. p. viii). Dans le cas présent, l'influence extérieure provient des campagnes contre l'abattage des mammifères marins menées par des organisations de protection de l'environnement et des animaux.

Abstract
This article is a translation of Of seals and souls: Changes in the position of seals in the world-view of Icelandic small-scale fishermen , published in 1990 in volume 3, number 2 of Maritime Anthropological Studies. It was translated by Karina Gerdau. This article deals with the changing attitudes of Icelandic artisanal fishermen towards seals. The material on which this study is based comes from fieldwork in a fishing village on Iceland's east coast, but also from the author's experience as a native participant in artisanal fishing. It is often argued that, in order to understand a particular cultural change, it is necessary to see how it is "externally induced yet indigenously orchestrated" (Sahlins, 1985. p. viii). In this case, the external influence came from campaigns against the slaughter of marine mammals by environmental and animal protection organizations.
