Abstract:
The research is anchored in sociology, history and social psychology. It aims to develop an understanding through participative observation of the impact of intentional process in social change, and peoples' connection to the area in which they chose to live. The reference to 'oneself as another' is claimed as a means to identify new paths to overcome resistance to change.The first part describes the renewal of socio-economic activity over a thirty-year period in the Aude (Languedoc-Roussillon, France) and the determining role of cultural creatives, of both native and adoptive origin, as testimony to the global emergence of new social actors. The second part examines the theoretical stakes of the paradigm change in social science: that of considering subjectivity as the cornerstone of the understanding of human activity. The two parts are interwoven to propose the conditions of “alterlocalisation”: a global change in the development model to create a locally viable one. The overall proposal is to renew the research-action approach, as a fruitful means of developing knowledge. The conclusions open perspectives for improving collective action by including human goals.
