Abstract: Jean Guiart was one of the leading figures of the “Société des Océanistes”. Since its creation in 1945, he has put a lot of energy into transforming the Journal de la Société des Océanistes into a scientific journal through his writings and his positions during the regular conferences held at the “Musée de l'Homme”. In this article, we take stock of Jean Guiart’s various activities within the Society: publications, conferences, chairman of meetings, members of the Bureau as Vice-President and then President. After his retirement, he continued to publish articles, but in the early 1990s, Jean Guiart became very critical of some of his colleagues and even ventured to bring an action against the “Société des Océanistes” and his President. However, he will remain a member of the Society until 2014.
