Although the GRC National Historical Park, Vincennes, Indiana, has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1966, its development as an Historic Designed Landscape had never been thoroughly researched. Archival research and a field survey of the site evaluated the existing conditions of the grounds and structures to determine their historical significance, integrity and physical condition.The George Rogers Clark Memorial, the park grounds, and other structures and features in and near the park setting were determined to be a historic designed landscape that used formal, classical design principles in a response to the City Beautiful Movement, popular at the beginning of this century, to memorialize the achievements of a man and people significant to our national history.An analysis comparing the historic plans and designers' intent for the park to the existing conditions has resulted in a rehabilitation recommendation for the park that includes the process for returning the park to its original design and an advocation for the development of the historic park setting. / Department of Landscape Architecture

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This thesis looks at the role that public history, expressed through civic pride and public memory, and military history have played in shaping the history of Vincennes, Indiana, from the battle fought by George Rogers Clark to the memorial named after him and finally with the four United States Navy ships named Vincennes.

In this thesis I examine the manuscript collection held at the château of Vincennes during the reign of Charles V of France (1364-1380). From the original collection of fifty-six, dispersed after the king’s death in 1380, ten complete manuscripts and one fragment are extant. Through an analysis of the existing manuscripts and information taken from the 1380 inventory of the king’s collections at Vincennes, I consider these manuscripts as a curatorial grouping that forms its own system of meaning, independent of the king’s larger collection of manuscripts at the Louvre. I argue that this collection conveyed a coherent and concerted collection practice, and examine the ways these manuscripts shaped royal identity and animated social memory Charles V “le Sage” was the third of the Valois kings of France and ruled during the Hundred Years’ War. Interestingly, in this time of relative instability, Charles established what is known as his most lasting cultural achievement, a royal library at the Louvre in 1368. All that remains of Charles’s impressive collection of over a thousand manuscripts are detailed inventories compiled by his court officers as well as a limited selection of surviving manuscripts. The royal inventory describes the contents of each volume, the exterior ornamentation and binding, and the interior illumination. Although these records are not detailed enough to reconstruct books that are now lost, it is clear that this collection was extremely luxurious both in the exterior decoration and interior painting. Among the manuscript paintings in this collection there exists a stylistic continuity, with many of the illustrations either executed by or in the style of Parisian illuminator Jean Pucelle. I maintain that this stylistic continuity, among other characteristics, define these manuscripts as a collection. Furthermore, I present an alternative model for interpreting the manuscripts at Vincennes that emphasizes how the works functioned collectively. I argue that all of the unifying characteristics of this collection carried meaning for the reader or viewer at Vincennes. This includes the fact that, according to the specifics of the inventories, virtually all of these manuscripts were originally intended for a reader other than Charles, suggesting a heretofore-unexplored memorial function of the collection. / text

This thesis identifies those elements significant to the redevelopment of urban riverfronts. Its purpose is to determine those planning and design considerations which will protect and enhance river environments while increasing the opportunities for people to enjoy a physical and visual contact with the river. This is accomplished by presenting an overview of urban riverfronts, their development and problems, rivers and their environment, historical progression of settlements along rivers, and planning and design considerations for urban riverfronts.In addition, this thesis presents a case study which applies urban riverfront planning and design considerations to the Vincennes, Indiana-Wabash Riverfront. / Department of Landscape Architecture

Relevant de l’intérêt renouvelé de l’histoire sociale pour la période des « années 1968 », ce travail cherche à comprendre à la fois les conditions de possibilité de la création d’une institution telle que le « Centre universitaire expérimental de Vincennes » et comment celle-ci a été initialement façonnée par les investissements pratiques et les projections de ses concepteurs, fondateurs et premiers acteurs. A la croisée de la sociologie des politiques publiques éducatives et de l´histoire sociale des champs intellectuels, la socio-histoire de cette expérience universitaire participe de la connaissance des effets de la crise symbolique sans précédent de Mai 68, et offre une voie d´entrée à l´histoire des idées qui prend en compte simultanément les acteurs mobilisés et mobilisables que sont les étudiants et les enseignants, et leurs négociations avec le pouvoir politique. A l’échelle macro-sociologique, cette recherche s’attache à éclairer les logiques qui président au développement morphologique et symbolique de l´Université depuis les années 50 et participe de la connaissance du fonctionnement de l’Etat et du pouvoir politique en conjoncture de crise. A l’échelle micro-sociologique, elle se veut attentive aux logiques d’action des acteurs sociaux et aspire à comprendre comment et pourquoi, suivant quels représentations, dispositions et intérêts, les acteurs (individuels et collectifs) investissent leurs rôles et « métiers » (de hauts fonctionnaires, responsables politiques, « intellectuels », enseignants-chercheurs, étudiant), sans sous-estimer les contraintes qui pèsent sur eux. Ce travail s’appuie sur des matériaux complémentaires (archives, entretiens, biographies, statistiques) qui permettent de mettre en perspective « données quantitatives » et « données qualitatives », et de renseigner les deux échelles d’analyse. / Building on social history renewed interest for the “long 1968” period, this work seeks to understand both the conditions of possibility of an institution such as the “Experimental University of Vincennes” (Centre universitaire expérimental de Vincennes) and the way it was initially shaped by the practical concerns and projections of its planners, creators and first actors. Between a sociology of education policies and a social history of intellectual fields, the history of this university experiment adds to our knowledge of the symbolic crisis of May 1968, and paves the way for a history of ideas which simultaneously takes into account the mobilized and mobilizable actors that are students and professors, and their negotiation with the political power.On a macrosociological scale, this research aims to shed light on the logics that led to the morphological and symbolic development of the University since the 1950s and adds to our knowledge of the functionning of the state and policial power in a context of crisis. On a microsociological scale, it focuses on the logics of action of social actors and seeks to understand how and why, according to which representations, dispositions and interests, actors (both individual and collective) assume their roles and “professions” (of high-civil servants, political leaders, “intellectuals”, professors, students), without underestimating the constraints that are imposed on them. This work is based on complementary materials (archives, interviews, biographies, and statistics) which put in perspective “quantitative data” and “qualitative data”, combining two scales of analysis.

Dans la foulée des évènements de Mai-Juin 1968, de la grève générale et de la révolte étudiante, le gouvernement gaulliste accepte de céder aux revendications des étudiants contestataires en créant une université sur le modèle qu’ils réclament. Interdisciplinaire, ouverte aux travailleurs et complètement autogérée cette université sera le Centre Universitaire Expérimental de Vincennes (C.U.E.V.) qui sera le foyer de l’intelligentsia française, accueillant notamment Deleuze, Guattari, Lyotard et plusieurs autres philosophes de renom au sein de son département de philosophie qui fut fondée et dirigée par nul autre que Michel Foucault de 1968 à 1970. Ce sont ces conditions qui sont à l’origine de la philosophie postmoderne, conditions desquelles émergeront une nouvelle théorie et une nouvelle pratique de la philosophie : La philosophie de Vincennes. L’objectif de ce mémoire est de savoir quelle est l’essence de la philosophie de Vincennes. Et en quoi se trouve-t-elle à l’origine du postmodernisme ? Le présent projet de mémoire se divise en trois parties selon trois approches : historique, pédagogique et philosophique. I) La partie historique retrace l’Histoire de Vincennes en cherchant le développement chronologique de cette nouvelle philosophie ainsi que les évènements historiques qui ont contribué à la forger. On retracera l’histoire de l’université de sa création en 1968 jusqu’à sa destruction par le maire de Paris Jacques Chirac en 1980. II) Une partie pédagogique qui discute des innovations pédagogiques de Vincennes et des impacts qu’elles ont eu sur les philosophes qui y ont enseignés. Ces innovations sont : 1) la création des Unités de Valeur (UV) ; 2) la pluridisciplinarité ; 3) le regroupement d’une faculté d’enseignement et d’un centre de recherche ; 4) l’autogestion et 5) l’ouverture aux travailleurs. III) La partie philosophique, la plus longue, traitera trois aspects communs à ces auteurs (Foucault, Deleuze, Lyotard). À savoir, la critique de la conception moderne de l’homme comme 1) libre et 2) rationnel, et la critique de la notion moderne de progrès. 1) La liberté n’est plus constitutive de l’homme qui est désormais vu comme déterminé par ses pulsions (héritage Freudien et Lacanien) et des superstructures (héritage Marxiste et Althussérien). 2) La rationalité n’est plus l’essence de l’homme, on critique ceux qui s’en servent comme norme pour punir ceux qui s’en éloignent, notamment dans l’Anti-Œdipe de Deleuze, ou l’Histoire de la Folie de Foucault. 3) La notion de progrès, typique de la philosophie moderne, est critiquée, notamment à travers la critique des grands récits métahistoriques, comme chez Lyotard. Ces trois approches ont pour but de nous permettre de mettre à jour l’essence de la philosophie de Vincennes et du postmodernisme, c'est à dire de la philosophie contemporaine. / In the midst of the events of May-June 1968, of the general strike and the student revolts, the Gaullist government accedes to the students’ demand by creating a new university on the very model they demand. Interdisciplinary, open to the workers and completely self-governed, this university will be called the Centre Universitaire Expérimental de Vincennes (C.U.E.V.) which will become the home of the French intelligentsia, welcoming, among others, Deleuze, Guattari, Lyotard, and many more within the philosophy department which was founded and directed by none other than Michel Foucault from 1968 to 1970. It is those very conditions which were at the origin of postmodern philosophy, conditions from which a new theory and a new practice of philosophy will emerge: Vincennes philosophy. The goal of this thesis is to describe and determine this philosophy. How it is that it stands the origin of postmodernism? In order to respond to this question, this thesis is divided into three parts following three distinct of approaches: historical, pedagogic and philosophical. I) The historical part will follow the history of Vincennes while looking for the chronological development of the new philosophy as well as the historical events which contributed to its birth. We will follow the story of the University from its creation in 1968 to its destruction by the Mayor of Paris, Jacques Chirac, in 1980. II) The pedagogic part will focus on the teaching innovations of Vincennes and on the impact they had on the various philosophers who taught there. Those innovations include: 1) the creation of the Value Units (VU) ; 2) interdisciplinarity ; 3) the combination of research and teaching ; 4) self-government and 5) workers’ admission. III) the philosophical part, the longest, will discuss aspects common to the aforementioned three philosophers (Foucault, Deleuze, Lyotard). That is to say, the critique of the modern conception of man as 1) free and 2) rational, and the critique of the modern notion of progress. 1) Freedom will no longer be considered a dimension of man who is henceforth seen as determined by his bodily drives and impulses (a heritage of Freud and Lacan) and by superstructures (the heritage of Marx and Althusser). 2) Rationality no longer typifies the essence of man either; the philosophers examined critique those who use rationality as a norm to punish those who deviate from it, especially in Deleuze’s Anti-Œdipus, or in Foucault’s Madness and civilization. 3) The notion of progress, a common idea in modern philosophy, will also be criticized, especially through the critical analysis of metahistorical narratives, as found in Lyotard, for example. The goal of these three approaches is to uncover the essence of Vincennes philosophy and with it, postmodernism, which is to say, that of contemporary philosophy.
