Cet article se penche sur la persistence et les transformations de la production domestique paysanne dans un village du nord de l'Equateur. En s'adonnant a l'artisanat pour augmenter les revenus tirés de l'agriculture de subsistence, les paysans de Carabuela ont évité avec succès la prolétarisation et la différentiation sociale. Malgré tout, une insertion plus forte dans l'économie de marché les a obligés a réorganiser leurs moyens traditionnels d'existence. En analysant ces changements, nous essayons de délimiter les conditions per‐mettant le maintien de cette paysannerie, malgré une expansion générale des rapports sociaux capitalistes. This article examines the persistence and transformation of peasant household production in a northern Ecuadorean village. By engaging in crafts to supplement their incomes from subsistence agriculture, the peasants of Carabuela have successfully avoided proletarianization and social differentiation. Yet, increased market participation has forced them to reorganize their traditional forms of livelihood. In analyzing these changes, we attempt to specify the conditions under which the persistence of this peasantry is possible despite the general expansion of capitalist social relations
