Abstract: [fre] Le second demi-siècle qui s'achève a vu la formidable mutation intervenue dans la société s'étendre à son versant rural. Aussi, les débats sur la nature de l'objet rural ont-ils perdu toute pertinence. Le «rural» est une réalité nouvelle, où triomphe l'urbanité. Les 13,5 millions de ruraux sont majoritairement des citadins vivant à la campagne. Dans la recomposition des sociétés villageoises, l'émergence des couches moyennes joue un rôle décisif. La parité ville - campagne étant en vue, l'innovation sociale au XXIe ne pourrait-elle pas venir de ces nouveaux acteurs du monde rural? [eng] Rural life and society - The second half of the century which is drawing to a close has seen rural life affected by the huge forces of change present in society as a whole. The traditionnal terms of the debate about what exactly is rural are now irrelevant. The new reality about rural life is that it has become urban. The 13.5 million people present in the countryside have, in the main, an urban way of life. In the recomposition of village society, the emergence of the middle classes is playing a decisive role. Since we can now speak of parity between the countryside and the city, there may be a possibility that social innovation in the XXI century could happen through these new actors on the rural stage.
