Benefits of vector mapping to valorize cultural heritage : a digital device in Lyon Historical Museum
No full textInternational audienceThe use of Geographic Information System (GIS) to create a vector map of Lyon in the late 18th century opens up many perspectives in the valorization of historical and artistic documents. The goal of this work was to produce a high quality vector base map in GIS, in order to study iconographic representations of Lyon in the 18th century (paintings, engravings, drawings) very finely. Taking as a reference the vector town map of Lyon based on the cadastral map c. 1824-1832 (Gauthiez 2008), we used the regressive method to create a vector map of Lyon in 1792. This reconstructed map was used as a basis to study a view of Lyon drawn c. 1719-1720. Using two different methods, five points of view have been located on the vector map. Part of the results of this study has been added to a digital tool for valorization of cultural heritage developed by the author and currently available in Lyon Historical Museum
Rules, discretion and local responsibility : development control case studies in the urban community of Lyon.
No full textThe research presented in this thesis rests on the premise that the administrative and legal systems of France have a critical bearing on the way that decisions on applications for permissions to build are taken, and the nature of the
decisions themselves. In the knowledge that the French system of law offered a legalistic, regulatory franiework for planning policy and policy implementation, four
specific questions are posed: firstly about the relationship of plans to development control decisions; secondly about the effects of the system on applicants; thirdly about the possibilities for third parties to be involved in, and seek redress from, development control decisions and fourthly about the effects of the decentralisation of development control powers that has taken place since 1983. These questions are then located within a broader discussion of discretion, accountability and the management of uncertainty. The theoretical discussion of the first chapter paves the way for a more detailed presentation of the nature and origins of French local administration and French planning law and procedure which in turn lead to a case study of the 55 communes of the Urban Community of Lyon and eight studies of development control applications which are explored through an examination of the case file documents and interviews with participants. Two sets of conclusions are drawn from the study. The first set concerns the
effects of a legalised system on the making and implementation of planning policy. The first conclusion is that the legalistic approach of the French planning system
appears to create serious difficulties for finding an appropriate expression for policy. In part the problem is shown to be as much a question of ethos as of what is really
possible under the law, amid some examples of practice in Lyon show how flexibility is still possible even within a legalised system. The second conclusion is that once the
rules are departed from, the system offers no alternative means of testing policy in its specific application, although the use of non-statutory consultation meetings in Lyon has gone some way to meeting the problem. The third is that the pattern of zoning and regulations does not appear to help the maintenance of a planning strategy. The fourth is that a legalised system does not promote certainty for either administrators or applicants. The fifth is that a legalised system does not permit third parties to participate in the decision-making and ensures that objections are seen mainly as being about property values.
The second set of conclusions has to do with the question of the power to decide and the accountability of decision-makers. The first is that the legalised system, while offering potential for agency discretion, nevertheless appears to favour officer discretion which on the evidence of the case studies is rife. While offering mayors the possibility of tactical power, it appears to reduce the accountability for decisions taken. Moreover, the control of the legality of decisions is dependent equally upon the discretion of the prefect. The second is that the pattern of crossregulation within the French system of local government has ensured the continuity of dependencies between the principal actors in the planning system. The final
conclusion is that decentralisation has had relatively little effect on the balance of power. In the Lyon conurbation, COURLY would appear to be the principal
beneficiary of the new powers, which would suggest that more power will be concentrated in future at the local level, but that the power will not be any more susceptible to control by the electorate

A Narrative Life Story of Activist Phyllis Lyon and Her Reflections on a Life with Del Martin
No full textPhyllis Lyon met the love of her life in 1953. Her name was Del Martin. When they fell in love, homosexuality was an illness that needed to be cured, a sin to be confessed and an illegal act that should be punished. Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon are legendary in the lesbian community for originating the Daughters of Bilitis--an underground lesbian social club in San Francisco formed in the 1950s. They spent the next 55 years together confronting society and policy about the inequity of gays, lesbians, and women. In each of these social movements, however, they were the minority inside the minority because they were lesbians. Despite the availability of lesbian and gay history, relatively little has been written exclusively about lesbian history. The depth and evolution of Lyon and Martin’s relationship and a depth of the relationship with the cause they were fighting for is missing from the current research. The articles that have been written about lesbian history and about Martin and Lyon, in particular, all report the same facts and tell the same stories.
The attempt of this thesis is to frame the life of Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon with the personal stories of their lives together and the challenges of their relationship. In addition, the social context, lesbian history and culture will be thoroughly researched to serve as the setting in which their story takes place. Personally and professionally, it is an attempt to understand the founding history of the Lesbian Rights Movement while learning about the NASW values of service, social justice, integrity, dignity and worth of a person and the importance of human relationships
Un réseau de fossés défensifs aux origines de Lyon
No full textThe discovery of traces of moats anterior to the first urbanization of Lyon combine with problem still open of the origines of the city.
The digged parts belong to three different works whose morphologic characteristics give way to suppose a military use of short continuance. As unusual accumulation of amphoras and animal bones in one of the moats (more than 95% of the material) seems to be more in relation with the dietary habits of a camp than with those of an habitat. The remaining of the material allows to date this deposit back to 60 B.C. However another moat part shows more recent material.
After having considered various interpretations, the author holds the hypothesis of an unique defensive system built back to the period of the fundation of the colony (43 B.C.); because of the too limited amount of material samples founded he considers as no significant the chronologic variations between the different parts of the moats.La découverte de traces de fossés antérieurs à la première urbanisation de Lyon s'intègre dans le problème toujours débattu des origines de la ville. Les tronçons fouillés appartiennent à trois ouvrages distincts dont les caractéristiques morphologiques laissent présumer un usage militaire et de courte durée. Une accumulation inhabituelle d'amphores et d'ossements animaux dans l'un des tronçons (plus de 95% du matériel) évoque moins les usages alimentaires d'un habitat que ceux d'un campement. Le reste du matériel date ce dépôt aux alentours de 60 av. J.-C, toutefois une autre section présente du matériel plus récent.
Après avoir envisagé diverses interprétations, l'auteur retient l'hypothèse d'un seul système défensif remontant à l'époque de la fondation de la colonie (43 av. J.-C), considérant comme non significatives les variations chronologiques entre les différents tronçons en raison de l'échantillonnage trop restreint du matériel.Mandy B., Genin M., Godard C., Krausz Sophie, Sandoz G., Thirion Philippe.
