Abstract

[fre] Le recours à la ruralité - expression plus juste que le retour à la terre - est un phénomène observable à plusieurs reprises dans l'histoire de la formation sociale française. Il se caractérise toujours par une indétermination qui renvoie à sa double face : une face utopique et une face " manipulée ", double face qui tient sans doute au fait même qu'il apparaît toujours en réponse à une crise. . Ainsi, le " domestic system " se déployant dans les campagnes de l'Ancien Régime répondait à une crise économique ; c'est pour une bonne part une crise sociale et politique quia été au principe de l'agrarisme. La crise économique et culturelle que nous traversons spécifie le néoruralisme actuel, mouvement qui se situe au croisement de deux phénomènes concomitants : la réorientation des stratégies étatiques sur l'espace rural et la crise spécifique d'une couche sociale qui vit de manière particulièrement intense l'ébranlement dû à la crise des valeurs attachées à la notion de "progrès". [eng] 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.
