Abstract
The Nouveau Larousse Agricole and the rational managment of companies. An attempt of capitalistic acculturation in the agricultural world. As an original encyclopaedia, the Nouveau Larousse Agricole takes part in the beginning of the 50’s in the effort to popularize and modernize the agricultural system, in order to introduce in the french farms the patterns of industrial capitalistic companies. It is through the organisation of work that agronomists create a new “entrepreneur-capitalist-farmer”, based on acculturation with three scientific ideals : objectivity, universality and cumulativity. The “scientific” methods which organise the collective work in the farms try to introduce a technical time, linear and progressive. Those methods cannot be successful without an internal pedagogy based on examples.
