L’article présente les résultats du premier sondage mené auprès de participants de la blogosphère politique québécoise. Les données tirées de l’enquête permettent de tracer le profil sociopolitique des blogueurs politiques québécois, d’identifier leurs habitudes « bloguistiques », leurs visions de la démocratie et les motivations qui les guident dans leur activité de rédaction en ligne. Les conclusions indiquent que, d’un point de vue politique, les blogueurs québécois se démarquent de l’ensemble nord-américain mais également de la société québécoise en général. Ce double constat d’une blogosphère politique québécoise « distincte » s’explique en majeure partie par le statut minoritaire de la nation québécoise.
While many, mostly American, scholars have recently conducted quantitative and qualitative investigations of the structure and content of political blogs, few have focused on the political involvement of their authors. Based on data collected through an online survey conducted in April 2008, this paper proposes the first detailed account of the sociopolitical profile of 56 members of the Quebec political blogosphere. The description of these bloggers’ involvement in content dispersion and online social networks as well as their participation in offline political activities helps to better understand the particularities of an emergent community of active citizens. Additionally, the research draws contrasts with previous studies of the U.S. political blogosphere and argues for the production of more detailed analysis considering the specificities of different communities of North American political bloggers.
