Exploring integrated approaches to cultural landscapesCurrent strategies, problems and potential
Iron age oppida as a case study
« Nous nous soumettons au primat de la vue, et cela depuis la Renaissance » (Corbin, 2003)
Theoretical framework1Methodological proposals2
Reinterpretation of the “cultural landscape” notion (Unesco) appliedto the case study of the Grand Siteof Bibracte-Mont Beuvray
[A] reconciling (false) oppositions in thelandscape of the Grand Site:
- nature vs culture - extraordinary vs ordinary- material vs immaterial- protection vs innovation
- “a unique facility, which is paradoxical in that it combines elements which are usually, if not opposed, then certainly dealt with separately”: the local and the international; the cultural and the rural; cultural heritage and environment; the scientific and the economic; local and national politic (Guichard, 2012*)* V. Guichard, 2012, Bibracte, une expérience de gestion intégrée d’un site archéologique, in : Gestion et présentation des oppida. Un panorama européen = Management and presentation of oppida. A European overview / Benkova (I.) dir., Guichard (V.) dir. - p. 71-84
Theoretical framework1Methodological proposals2
Reinterpretation of the “cultural landscape” notion (Unesco) applied to the case study of the Grand Site of Bibracte-Mont Beuvray
[B] a territorial approach, based on the notion of (self)sustainability (Magnaghi, 2000) to support the integrated management (Guichard, 2012)
Integrated management = a formalised and planned management style which has as its primary objective the long-term preservation of a site’s authenticity, based in particular on the knowledge and involvement of local communities on all levels (Guichard, 2012)

- extensive definition of heritage adopted by the Territorialist School: each territory is composed both of its people and places, and includes environment, landscape, urban features, local knowledge, culture and crafts in its unique character as a living entity
- sustainable development = not only an environmental vision of sustainability

[C] defining a multifaceted research methodology to go beyond the main landscape planning approaches

An “ethno-spatial” approach to landscape
[A] priority goals for the governance of the Grand Site, 2014-2019
- Manage the core of the site in continuity with the actions developed since 2008
- Guarantee the evolution of the peripheral zone of the site
- Enlarge the Grand Site to the labelised site of Mont Préneley - Sources de l'Yonne ?
- Involve the politicians and the local people into the Grand Site labelisation
- Share the governance of the Grand Site : BIBRACTE EPCC + PNRM
(Comité Technique, January 2016)Analysed area (six villages)
Theoretical framework1
2An “ethno-spatial” approach to landscape
[B] go beyond the idea of man as a simple spectator in front of landscape
- inquiry to let the knowledge of the “landscape actors” emerge
- analyse other experiences and adapt/test them in Bibracte
PNR des Boucles de la Seine Normande

2An “ethno-spatial” approach to landscape
[B] go beyond the idea of man as a simple spectator in front of landscape
- inquiry to let the knowledge of the “landscape actors” emerge
- historical reconstruction of the “bocage” landscape (old cartography, photographic observatories, inquiries)
