Municipal Power and Notables in Gruissan, a Village of the Coastal Languedoc.
Through the analysis of datas we can put into evidence the composition of the municipal councils from the beginning of this century till nowadays. Three main periods can be distinguished; they point out to the evolution of social structures and economic activities in spite of a relative social stability as far as employers and political parties are concerned. During the first period, the village is still characterized by its traditional activities — fishing, mercantile marine, salines, vinegrowing — ; mayors are thus belonging to the upper classes and are deeply rooted within the local group. During the second period, municipal councils represent the working population in a more significant way and are more respectful of its diversity; political belonging and personality are more decisive elements for the choice of a mayor, than social position within the village. During the third period, the members of the municipal council and the mayor are characterized by their participation to both national (administration) and local (kinship) structures. At the moment, the municipal council is going to undertake the local realization of a touristic planning, thus involving the village towards new prospects. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
