Pourquoi les sociétés modernes ont-elles décidé de sacrifier les paysans ? Qui est responsable de ce processus qui semble irréversible ? Pour tenter de répondre à ces questions fondamentales, ce livre montre comment, depuis des décennies, en France comme ailleurs, le productivisme s'est étendu à l'ensemble des activités humaines. Avec pour conséquences : déracinement et marchandisation, exploitation du travail et des ressources naturelles, artificialisation et numérisation de la vie. L'époque est aujourd'hui aux fermes-usines et aux usines que l'on ferme ou délocalise, tandis que dominent, partout, finance et technoscience. Le sacrifice des paysans est l'un des éléments du processus global de transformation sociale dont il faut, au préalable, comprendre les causes. Ainsi, les auteurs analysent le mouvement historique au sein duquel s'est déployé le projet productiviste au cours des 70 dernières années, des "Trente Glorieuses aux Quarante Honteuses". Puis ils expliquent comment le long travail d'"ensauvagement des paysans" a mené à la destruction des sociétés paysannes et des cultures rurales. De ce véritable ethnocide, qui a empêché l'alternative au capitalisme dont une partie des paysans était porteuse, nous n'avons pas fini, tous, de payer le prix.

Contrairement au mythe toujours vivace d’une paysannerie vendéenne passive et fidèle à un ancien régime catholique, féodal et monarchique, Bernadette Bucher nous plonge dans une histoire profonde jalonnée de ruptures, de rebellions populaires et renversements d’alliance à l’égard de l’Eglise, des seigneurs et du roi. L’importance du protestantisme sur la terre même des guerres de Vendée n’en est pas la moindre surprise. Pour l’auteur, la continuité entre cette Vendée mythique et la Vendée contemporaine résulte moins des idéologies politiques et religieuses que de la remarquable plasticité de la culture populaire bocaine dont l’ethnologue nous décrit les changements spectaculaires observés sur le terrain depuis quinze ans. Les particularités de l’économie domestique (coublage, salariés dits à mi-viage), l’étonnante vitalité des codes de conduite et des valeurs-charnières (vaillance, simplicité, économie), la richesse des rites de sociabilité (mariage, chasse à courre, caves des hommes) mettent en lumière une logique inattendue des transformations du monde rural. À l’heure où l’Europe cherche à se créer une identité supranationale, Descendants de Chouans nous invite ainsi à revoir le concept même de « communauté » à la lumière du modèle vendéen, et à redonner au quotidien le rôle qui leur revient dans les métamorphoses de l’Histoire.

La croissance agricole qu’a connue l’Europe entre le XVIe et le XXe siècle est un facteur essentiel de la construction du monde moderne. Mais il reste à en comprendre la nature, le rythme et les causes. Trois grandes approches ont stimulé depuis près de 30 ans les débats des historiens dans ce domaine : la diversité des systèmes agraires, les méthodes quantitatives et le rôle des institutions. Ce livre s’appuie sur ces trois thématiques pour proposer une vision synthétique de la recherche européenne sur l’histoire agraire moderne et contemporaine, aux antipodes des traditionnelles monographies régionales. Il témoigne ainsi du renouveau et de la vitalité des études sur un monde rural qui reste essentiel à la compréhension de notre temps.

Most people in the world today think democracy and gender equality are good, and that violence and wealth inequality are bad. But most people who lived during the 10,000 years before the nineteenth century thought just the opposite. Drawing on archaeology, anthropology, biology, and history, Ian Morris explains why. Fundamental long-term changes in values, Morris argues, are driven by the most basic force of all: energy. Humans have found three main ways to get the energy they need--from foraging, farming, and fossil fuels. Each energy source sets strict limits on what kinds of societies can succeed, and each kind of society rewards specific values. But if our fossil-fuel world favors democratic, open societies, the ongoing revolution in energy capture means that our most cherished values are very likely to turn out not to be useful any more. Foragers, Farmers, and Fossil Fuels offers a compelling new argument about the evolution of human values, one that has far-reaching implications for how we understand the past--and for what might happen next. Originating as the Tanner Lectures delivered at Princeton University, the book includes challenging responses by classicist Richard Seaford, historian of China Jonathan Spence, philosopher Christine Korsgaard, and novelist Margaret Atwood.

Notes from the Ground examines the cultural conditions that brought agriculture and science together in nineteenth-century America. Integrating the history of science, environmental history, and science studies, the book shows how and why agrarian Americans-yeoman farmers, gentleman planters, politicians, and policy makers alike-accepted, resisted, and shaped scientific ways of knowing the land. By detailing the changing perceptions of soil treatment, Benjamin Cohen shows that the credibility of new soil practices grew not from the arrival of professional chemists, but out of an existing ideology of work, knowledge, and citizenship.

Oxyrynchus in Egypt is one of the best documented cities of the Roman Empire. This study draws upon the thousands of papyrus documents found there to examine how the city's landowning class derived wealth from the rural hinterland, and the relationship between landowner and farming tenant.
