The economic crisis that affects the Beaujolais vineyard since the late 1990s is the origin of the abandonment of previously vine-growing plots. It implies important landscape mutations, worrying the local stakeholders. The lack of definition of these abandoned plots, as well as the technical difficulty to qualify and quantify the conversion dynamics, is a problem to hold back the conversion from agricultural to abandoned plots. Photo-interpretation combined with fieldwork and interviews of stakeholders was conducted to characterize the extension and spatial patterns of abandoned plots. It was done for three catchments to compare the results and highlight the underlying ways and means of the conversion of vine into abandoned plots. A typology was built : it includes six types of abandoned plots, each one having, according to its features, its own impact on the landscape. Three temporal filiations between the types were identified : one is located on the hillside, one is in the plain, but the previous vine stocks have been uprooted, and one is in the plain and the vine stocks have not been uprooted. The conversion into abandoned plots was quantified and related with the vine plots extent of the catchments in 1999 : 1.5 % of the vine plots surface that has been converted into abandoned plots for the Lower Ardières catchment, 8.4 % for the Marverand catchment and 8.7 % for the Merloux catchment. A distinction between north and south Beaujolais has been noticed, highlighting the slope and the vintage sorting influence on the abandonment but also of land withholding phenomena.

This article examines the near silence of Quebec intellectuals in the 1930s regarding the work of French writers Céline and Drieu la Rochelle, whose novels were nonetheless part of the literary landscape, at least through the intermediate of French periodicals. In spite of French Canada's essentially conservative literary culture, some books read by Berthelot Brunet and Valdombre could be quite surprising, which shows that some "discordant" works did circulate, and that they could be discussed in the press. However, many authors would only appear much later in Quebec's literary landscape. We believe this discretion was mainly strategic, as a novel with a limited distribution was more likely to remain unnoticed by the authorities.
