Les stratégies de survie des minorités protestantes ou catholiques dans les Cévennes face à la communauté villageoise (vers 1560-1685)

Religious minorities in the Cévennes, whether Protestant or Catholic, developed adaptive survival strategies between 1560 and 1685 to navigate tensions within village communities and with local authorities. The study reveals that the presence of these minorities disrupted traditional social hierarchies, forcing both groups to employ subtle tactics—such as religious pluralism or strategic alliances—to maintain cohesion amid persecution. Teissonnière’s analysis draws on historical records and ecclesiastical documents to reconstruct these dynamics, offering insight into how marginalized faiths persisted in a region marked by conflict during the Reformation and Counter-Reformation periods.
