Abstract

[eng] The process of technical change may be observed and analysed in other terms than those imposed by the « concentric » visions of society, according to which knowledge spreads from producing centres towards the peripheral multitude of executants. The technical transformations are neither the ordinary result of spreading effects, nor the ordinary result of technical or technico-economical logics, or of macro-sociological connections. They are also the result of social interactions, in keeping with systems of relatively lasting relations. The adoption of a new technic, introduced by the farmers in the existing system is therefore a process of negotiation and not only a transfer and an acquisition. We show, from empirical studies realised in French villages, that there is a correlation between the morphological caracteristics of the social systems of dialogue and interinfluence on one hand, described with the means of social network analysis, and, on the other hand, the modalities according to which the ideas and the ways of doing remain, change, adjust, unify or vary within a group. [fre] Les processus de changement technique peuvent être observés et analysés en d'autres termes que ceux qu'imposent les visions « concentriques » de la société, selon lesquelles la connaissance se diffuse de centres producteurs vers la multitude périphérique des exécutants. Les transformations techniques ne sont ni le simple produit d'effets de diffusion, ni le simple produit de logiques techniques ou technico-économiques, ou de rapports macrosociologiques. Elles sont aussi le produit d'interactions sociales, s'inscrivant dans des systèmes de relations relativement stables. L'adoption d'une technique nouvelle, introduite par les agriculteurs dans le système existant est aussi un processus de négociation, et non pas simplement un transfert et une acquisition. Nous montrons, sur la base d'études empiriques réalisées dans des villages en France, qu'il existe une corrélation entre, d'une part les caractéristiques morphologiques des systèmes sociaux de dialogue et d'interinfluence, décrits avec les moyens de l'analyse des réseaux sociaux, et d'autre part les modalités selon lesquelles les idées et les façons de faire se perpétuent, se transforment, s'adaptent, s'unifient ou se diversifient dans un groupe.
