Résumé anglais From the Human Body to Humanized Space The frame of reference underlying the conception of village space among the Isan in northeastern Thailand is explained through two concrete cases and the analysis of a conceptual model hwa (head)/fim (feet). Transposed on the various scales of village space (houses, rice granaries, neighborhoods, rice field lots, the village), this model reflects the structural homology that the Isan establish between the human body, social body, dwelling-unit and unit of rice. It also specifies both the ways humanized space is organized and its limits. Moreover, it highlights the close link between the Isan rice-farmer and his main crop.
