Forme et réforme organisationnelles des Chambres d’agriculture. Une lecture à partir des régimes d’action des conseillers
Résumé
The article is drawn up from an analysis of the discourses that advisors of the Chambers of agriculture of Saône-et-Loire and Haute-Savoie develop about their activities and functioning of their company. On this basis, we define two axes of analysis. The first axe is grounded in a tension between the action regime of the ‘close’ and the action regime of the ‘distant’; the second axe represents a tension between the implementation of a public service and a commercial service. Crossing the two axes provides a key for understanding advisory activities with four areas of action. This key was used to qualify the different departments which are made of the two Chambers. Contrasted profiles of action emerged out for each Chamber. These profiles were connected with the ‘autonomy’ or the ‘hetoronomy’ of these agricultural bodies.
