Abstract
Pluriactivity in agriculture : hidden heterogeneity Today the non agricultural activities performed by small farmers are known as "pluriactivity". However, this category describes different phenomena whose meanings vary according to historic and socio-economic contexts and also to several authors. Based on the analysis of the existing literature, the author argues that the notion of "pluriactivity" is full of impressions and so do not contribute to qualify the phenomena it designates. The absence of an heuristic content in this category suggests the construction of new objects no more centered on individual actions but on the conditions for social reproduction of small farmers families. The theoretical discussion is illustrated by the data of a research carried out in a small rural village in the French Alpes.
