Agricultural Integration and Social Disintegration in a Backward Region: the Case of the Piège (Aude).
This article, the result of field-work carried out by a team of research workers belonging to the RCP 257 of the CNRS, analyses the economic and social evolution of eight communities located in the Piège, a small hilly region some seventy kilometers to the South-East of Toulouse. In the last fifteen years, the agrarian restructuration has been completed. The poor peasant, as traditionally existed, has disappeared, anf a few wealthy landowners now coexist with a new "middle-class" peasantry, resolutely modern in its outlook — a group however in itself far from homogenous. Active life is thus concentrated in the scattered farmsteads while it is dying out in the villages, eaten away by emigration. Collective land-control has disappeared, giving way to the solitary confrontation of the individual farmer with the ecosystem he has to deal with at this own level; a confrontation which leads to a constantly increasing "artiflcialization" of the production system, with all the costs and risks it entails.
