Abstract

Le processus conflictuel qui fait l'objet de cet article débute en 1854 à Salindres, petite commune rurale du Gard. Il oppose pendant 25 ans la première usine du groupe Pechiney à ses voisins, qui se plaignent des nuisances industrielles causées par cette dernière. Ce conflit environnemental est présenté ici dans ses différentes phases : son émergence et les premières réclamations, son apogée et sa judiciarisation, et, enfin, l'affaiblissement du conflit. Ses différentes transformations permettent de mettre en évidence les stratégies employées par les protagonistes et l'idéologie industrialiste dominante de l'époque, ainsi que la faiblesse de la conscience environnementale qui caractérise alors la nouvelle société industrielle.In 1854 in Salindres, a small rural township in Gard department (France), a conflict broke out that would last 25 years. Neighbors complained about the nuisances caused by Pechiney's first factory. The phases of this environmental dispute are presented : its beginning and the initial demands, its peak in litigation and then its waning. The transformation of this conflict sheds light on the strategies adopted by the parties involved and on the ideology, prevalent at the time, of industrialism. It also reveals the low level of awareness of issues characteristic of nascent industrial society.
