Abstract
As regards a specific area, the article raises the question of the criterias, the strategies and what is at stake for the ethnieal auto-determination of an emigrated population. This population, about whieh the article clearly demonstrates that it constitutes a community, established itself since the First World War in the French Isere region through two important successive movements – (1916 - 1926) and (1950 - 1970) –on the occasion of a man’s urbanisation project, A. Grammont, influenced by the 19th century utopian building ideology. The text, which presents the results of a long field research carried out in the beginning of the 80s, concerns the reasons for this population’s quite unpredictable ethnie choice. its « founding myths » of positive positioning, and the contrasted manipulation of an institution that the group established : the church. The author concludes this analysis by underlining the importance of the rural/ urban cleavage in the origins of emigrants. and mostly by privileging the principle signification of the notion of « diaspora » as being the creative force of a political ethnie group with no ambition of state control
