Alpine anthropology, Cultural ecology, Folklorists, Natural environment, Traditional societyAbstract
The Alpine world is characterized by a surprising variation, difficult to model, where cultural elements prevail over environmental constraints. Sometimes pictured as a lost paradise, sometimes as a backward world because it is marginalized, today, the Alpine world is at the centre of a debate, opposing revitalization and elements of continuity.
