Abstract

[fre] La sociologie rurale, en tant que discipline autonome, est assez récente, elle est d'ailleurs plutôt un «champ d'investigation pour toutes les sciences sociales», les sociologues ruraux travaillant aux côtés des historiens, géagraphes, ethnologues et démographes. . Une certaine expérience de sociétés extrêmement différentes des sociétés françaises, a permis de se rendre compte qu'à l'intérieur même des frontières de notre pays, subsistent des différences et des spécificités dignes d'être érigées en objet d'études. . Le mouvement actuel de « retour à la nature » et la préoccupation pour l'environnement, le rôle révolutionnaire des paysanneries du tiers monde, l'agitation des campagnes occidentales, les déboires des agriculteurs socialistes... font redécouvrir le rôle historique de la paysannerie, souvent négligé avant les années 50. . Une brève revue des tendances les plus significatives qui animent les recherches des ruralistes français, montre la diversité des approches et des problématiques, double reflet de l'extrême diversité des situations paysannes en France et de la vivacité des sciences sociales françaises. [eng] Rural studies in France - Rural sociology as an independent subject is of recent date and tends to be a field of investigation for all the social sciences' - the rural sociologists working side by side with historians, geograpers, etchnologists and demographers. . Experience of societies very different from those in France enables us to realise that even in our own country there remain differences and particularities worth investigation. . The present trend towards a 'return to nature' and the preoccupation with the environment, the revolutionary, role of the peasant populations of the third world, unrest in farming communities in the West, the failures of socialist agriculture... give rise to a renewed interest in the historical role of the peasants, a subject often neglected before the fifties. . A brief outline of the most significant tendencies of the research carried out bey French rural sociologists shows the great diversity of their attitudes and methodology, reflecting both the fact that farming societies in France are very, diverse and that the social sciences in France are flourishing.
