Résumé anglais Villagers, émigrés and Strangers : Conflicts Around a Hunting Territory in the Mountains The analysis of a conflict between hunters and the mayor of a small mountain community reveals (beyond the classical discourse of land-use conflicts between farming, hunting and tourism) a two-fold issue : on the one hand, there is the hunter's relation to the community (non-farmers and even non-rurals, the hunters — called «émigrés» — no longer live in the village but have maintained symbolic ties with it) ; and on the other hand, there is the plan for controlled development of agriculture and tourism (and which the mayor defends against the attack of the émigrés, who are hostile to change). What makes this example particularly interesting is the fact that the agricultural lands (which are a minority) and the hunting territory (which is vast and consists mostly of communal land unsuitable for farming) are clearly distinct from each other. The farmers (who do not hunt) are therefore not directly concerned by the conflicts revolving around hunting.
