Terre ancestrale ou parc national ? entre légitimité sociale et légalité à Madagascar by Cécile Bidaud Rakotoarivony, Mialy Ratrimoarivony

“…Started in 1991, it aims at the development of this enclosed area of the middle west of Madagascar and the conservation of the National Park of Tsingy of Bemaraha. In contrast to the managers of the park, the indigenous residents see the forest as a spiritual and material resource.This article demonstrates the complexity of the relationship of indigenous people to the forest, and shows how this relationship is denied by the park management’s assumption that the present degradation of the natural resources of the forest is due to the practices of migrant and indigenous people. …”

La peinture sur lave émaillée des façades des églises parisiennes du xixe siècle : une expérience de réintroduction de la polychromie by Josette Saint-Martin

“…The study focuses on the six Paris churches with decoration painted on enamelled lava on the façade: Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, which to this day remains the best-known decoration in terms of its importance and history, La Sainte-Trinité, Saint-Augustin, Saint-Ambroise, Saint-Laurent and Saint-Joseph-des-Nations.Hypotheses have been put forwards as to the possible reasons, both technical and with regards to changing taste, which plunged the attempt to reintroduce polychromy on the façades of nineteenth-century Parisian churches in obscurity, until 1998, the year of the exhibition at the Musée de la Vie Romantique of the enamelled lavas of the church of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul.…”
