Résumé anglais Successive generations, repeated births from the same family stem, joint presence of actual inbreeding ordained according to the principles of primogeniture : the filiation, the inbreeding, the collateral relatives, pose the problem of temporal discontinuity, of divergence between the descendants, and of their respective relevance, to the societies who base their order on the code of kinship and who speculate on the connections produced by this order. In the Oceanian setting, the assumption of discontinuity seems to revert to two major types of representation : that which brings out the contrasts induced by the discontinuity ; and that which neutralises or shifts them. Two representations which are most certainly those of an order : but one retains more the hierarchical connotations of the order (order of the absolute difference — Polynesia) ; in the other, inversely, hierarchy being impossible, only divergence remains (order of the relative difference— Melanesia). The article considers the pertinence of the two orders, for comparative purposes.
