Résumé anglais Landscape and Otherness : A Quest for "Landscape Cultures", a Methodological Reflexion For the tourist or hiker just passing through, there is a landscape. But is the countryside a landscape for farmers who live there and live on the land ? Sociologists, ethnologists and geographers hold differing opinions about this. Examining how they respond to this question reveals the complexity of their relation to this subject of research. This complexity is expressed especially during field work, when the countryside in the field does not let the "scientist" indifferent. Whether the researcher is conscious or not of it, his observation of farmers' relationship to space interacts with his own "landscape culture". This article sheds light on what remains implicit in researchers' responses to the fore- mentioned question. The term "landscape" can then be defined unequivocally throughout a single text — thus avoiding the quid pro quos that too often occur in studies of the landscape as a social perception and representation.
