Recours à la ruralité et crise

Bertrand Hervieu and Danièle Léger

Économie rurale, 1980, vol. 140

Abstract: Resorting to rurality - a better expression than returning to land - is a phenomenon which can be observed again and again in the history of the French social formation. The process is always characterized by a lack of determination which sends us back to its twofold appearence : it presents an utopie side and a ' manipulated ' side, probably because of the very fact that it always appears as a response to crisis. For instance, the ' domestic ' developped in the countryside during the Ancien Regime was a response to an economic crisis ; for a good part, it was a social political crisis which was at the source of agrarism. The cultural and economical crisis we are going through gives a specificity to the present neoruralism, a movement which is situated at the crossroads of two concommittant phenomena : the reorientation ofetatic strategies towards rural space and the specific crisis of a social stratus who lives the shaking due to the disruption of values attached to the notion of ' progress ', in a quite intensive manner.
