Du monologue technocratique aux initiatives locales : transformations des réglons de montagne en Suisse

Everywhere in the modern world are diffused the stereotyped pictures of a single development pattern : growth, consummation, concentration, conditioning. Are the transforming mountain regions going to tend to the extreme and barren ways of banalization and colonisation ? Concrete experiments are trying to go out of the directive, planning and dominant tracks. As the very inventors for their life and their plans mountainers refuse automatized figurant roles ordered from outside. They don't allow themselves to be condemned either to folk-museum ideologies or to idealistic but unrealistic Utopia, in spite of external « deciders » being often rational and managing. As living and creative actors they modernize themselves mountain.
