Tree who planted men Giono, vegetal condition, social condition

This paper covers Giono’s work from 1929 to 1954, based on the achievements of the "anthropology of nature" (Philippe Descola), and on the history of political ecology (Gorz, Illich). This reinterpretation of a Giono freed from Vichy suspicion and nostalgic regression, will seek to show that this archetypal thought of the idea of "nature", placed under the sign of Pan, nourishes our present “ecocriticism”, not a simple “environmentalism”, but the outline of a critical theory of needs.
