Abstract	L'auteur s'interesse a la maniere dont les biologistes etudiant les especes « invasives » a Hawai classifient, notamment dans les eaux epistemologiquement troubles de l'archipel, les organismes « indigenes » et « exotiques ». En placant l'analyse dans le cadre du debat entre Sahlins et Obeyesekere, l'article esquisse l'idee que loin d'etre une simple question de definition biologique, cette classification met a jour une problematique politique et taxonomique, en particulier a Hawai ou le mot « indigene » est associe a des descripteurs utilises par et pour les autochtones de l'archipel. Sur les bases d'une recherche ethnographique dans les univers imbriques des biologistes de la vie marine, d'une part, et des educateurs et activistes hawaiens d'autre part, l'article examine les frontieres fluctuantes de la nature, de la culture, de l'intentionnalite et du temps dans la pratique classificatrice de la « biologie de l'invasion ». A travers le cas particulier des descriptions des « algues exotiques » et des crustaces amphidromes, l'article explore la maniere dont le « contexte » encadre diversement la description des creatures marines indigenes et exotiques a Hawai. L'auteur conclut par une reflexion sur les modes de classification metataxonomique et parataxonomique.
