French term or phrase:antagonisme entre le Paradis originel et le Temps de la faute
On recrée l'antagonisme entre le Paradis originel et le Temps de la faute à compter duquel l'humanité,ayant déplu au divin, se voit contraindre au labeur.
About the theory which contrasts Palaeolithic man (relaxed, close to nature) with Neolithic man (forced to work, distanced from nature).
Explanation: This a recreation of the antagonism between the original paradise and the time of the Fall, ever since which man has been forced to work [or if you want to get biblical: to earn his living by the sweat of his brow].
I think the present tense "se voit" should be translated with the present perfect in English, just as "j'habite Paris depuis 6 ans" is translated as "I have lived in Paris..." (à compter duquel = since).
The idea must be that the hunter gatherers lived off the fat of the land like Adam and Eve, whereas the farmers, who represent a more "advanced" phase of civilization, are forced to till the soil. (It is interesting to note that "labourer" originally meant to plow).
