Paperback -- SUMMARY This book is situated at the crossroads of two recurring themes in rural history: agrarian contracts and property rights. Emphyteusis is at the heart of agrarian history in that it brings together agricultural history and the nature of social relations in traditional societies. Despite this, many such contracts have been blithely ignored, or unjustly dismissed, either because they are hard to identify, given the many variants that existed, or because, as a form of divided property, they are generally perceived in a negative light. Nevertheless, emphyteusis is to be found everywhere, even in regions which deny its existence, and it is far from being obsolete. Rather, it is flourishing, prospering and long-lived, particularly in urban areas. Emphyteusis has a long history and has played a central role, sometimes misleading, but always crucial, in the process of agricultural development. It has held sway as a substitute when access to property has been impossible, and as a source of conflicts has often revealed the nature of power relations between property owners on the one hand, whether seigneurial or not, and cultivators, short-term and long-term tenants on the other. The different chapters in this volume illuminate these multiple facets and forms of this type of contract and imperfect property rights. Though the focus is on Mediterranean societies, the questions raised have relevance far beyond this specific area. Aider à comprendre les campagnes actuelles à la lumière de l expérience historique, telle est l ambition de cette nouvelle collection consacrée à l histoire rurale européenne. Au cours des dernières années, le monde rural a subi des mutations radicales, même si elles ont été réalisées selon des rythmes différents et des modalités particulières d un bout à l autre du continent. Partout, en effet, les sociétés rurales ont vécu des changements décisifs, les agricultures se sont développées à vive allure, les paysages ont été modifiés en profondeur. Aujourd hui, des agriculteurs menacés de disparition sont sommés de répondre aux besoins parfois contradictoires exprimés avec force par la société, les terres sont soumises à la pression de la croissance urbaine, les villages accueillent de nouvelles populations venues de la ville. Pourtant, il serait erroné de croire que cette mue spectaculaire a succédé à une longue période de stabilité, de stagnation, d immobilisme et que les campagnes sont exposées à des défis inouïs. Les mondes ruraux ont connu bien d autres changements pendant les siècles antérieurs et leur histoire est riche d enseignements si l on veut appréhender les chemins parcourus, les enjeux annoncés et la réalité d un monde complexe.
