Abstract

[eng] (Re) introduction of species and agricultural activity : from anthropization to artificialization . . The distinction between « introduction » and « reintroduction » of an animal species in a given area is not always easy. The opinion voiced by local people does not always match that of scientific experts and protectors. In practice one can notice that the « natural » biotope of a species is largely anthropized, chiefly through traditional agropastoral practices. When the latter have disappeared and if it is impossible to recreate them, it becomes necessary to reestablish the biotope of a species through various artificial means, in order to recreate the conditions of natural environment where the animal is to live. But the (re)introduction practices cannot be limited to a mere technical and economical finalized instrumentalization. It then becomes indispensable to consider the creation of an animal as a symbolic subject. From this point of view the author emphasizes the notion of bestiary. [fre] Distinguer entre « introduction » et « réintroduction » d'une espèce animale en un lieu donné n'est pas toujours aisé : l'opinion des locaux ne recoupe pas forcément celle des scientifiques et des protecteurs. Dans la pratique on constate que le biotope « naturel » d'une espèce est en fait souvent profondément anthropisé, en général par le biais de pratiques agropastorales « traditionnelles ». Quand celles-ci ont disparu, et faute de pouvoir toujours les rétablir, il faut alors, par divers procédés, artificialiser le biotope d'une espèce animale que l'on veut conserver vivant à l'état libre. Mais les pratiques de (ré)introduction ne peuvent se limiter à une simple instrumentalisation technique et économique finalisée. On ne peut faire l'économie d'une réflexion sur la constitution de l'animal — du vivant animé — en tant qu'objet symbolique. Dans cette perspective, l'auteur attire l'attention sur la notion de bestiaire.
