Le tain du miroir, Anthropologie visuelle et bricolage institutionnel dans le réseau des Cévennes

A groundbreaking intersection of visual anthropology and institutional innovation emerges from the Cévennes, where Fernand Deligny's 1980 work, 'Singulière Ethnie,' both engages with and diverges from Pierre Clastres' anthropological framework. This study illuminates Deligny's unique position at the nexus of sensory ethnography and institutional improvisation, set against the backdrop of the Cévennes' cultural landscape. The research leverages the Paluche camera, a novel tool introduced in 1978 by Jean-Pierre Beauviala via Renaud Victor's ORTF research initiative, to explore how visual media can both document and shape institutional practices within this region. By analyzing Deligny's work through the lens of these dual approaches—sensory ethnography and bricolage—the study reveals the complex interplay between cultural preservation and adaptive governance in UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
