Abstract
In this article, the author sets out to study how inhabitants of a neighbourhood invest part of their social stakes in neighbourly relations and realize a miniaturization of the play of conflict and integration.
The neighbourhood scene is the opportunity or the pretext for expressing or trying out value systems in play in social rela tions. The author has not started out by studying these values themselves. She has preferred to come to them at the end of her study. Through concrete study, she has brought out the set of relations which make up a system and which involve general value-forming mechanisms.
