Abstract

[fre] La période de modernisation de l'agriculture a été marquée par un effort de revalorisation de l'image du paysan. Cette image volontariste et idéologique construite par l'Action Catholique s'est progressivement étendue à l'ensemble du milieu. Elle a débouché au plan politique sur les grandes lois agricoles que la profession a inspirées. Dès les années 70, la crise a mis en évidence le poids du soutien à l'agriculture, la .rétraction de la base sociale que constituait le milieu agricole et sa radicalisation (contestataire, voire violente), et la concurrence dénoncée par les Tiers-Mondistes que l'aide alimentaire fait peser sur les producteurs du sud. Les paysans ont réagi pour retrouver une image positive et valorisante... Ils cherchent à retrouver la qualité de la production, une insertion économique et sociale dans une collectivité spatiale, au sein de milieu rural. C'est ainsi qu'ils cherchent à dépasser une image négative en se créant des pôles d'identification liés à d'autres groupes économiques et sociaux. [eng] The period of modernization of agriculture was marqued by an effort to revalorize the farmer's image. This resolute and ideological image, built by the catholic Action, progressively spread to all rural areas. It led to political changes and to the main agriculture acts which where inspired by the profession. Since the 70' s , the crisis showed the importance of the aid brought to agriculture, the diminution of the social basis of the agriculture circles and its radicalization (contestation if not violent action) and the competition, denonced by the supporters of the developping countries, which alimentary aid induces on the producters of the southern regions. The farmers reacted in order to recover a positive and valorizing image. They try to developp the quality of theise productions to realize a better economic and social insertion in the rural communities. Therefore they try to change the negative image by buiding identification pôles linhed to other economic and social groups.
