Ce texte fixe une étape dans une collaboration menée au travers de recherches successives qui toutes visent à réfléchir aux processus contemporains de politisation, dé-politisation et éventuellement re-politisation qui affectent les démocraties occidentales. Pour aborder ces processus, nous avons adopté un angle d'observation spécifique en étudiant la manière dont les gens politisent ou non une discussion consacrée à un sujet de société. Concrètement, ce texte propose un bilan de ce que nous apprennent des entretiens collectifs consacrés au thème de la délinquance quand on leur applique une grille de lecture de la politisation, entendue
The creation of the UMP after the 2002 presidential election began a new cycle for the French Right. It can be characterized as the refoundation of a party by merger. The reasoning behind the partial unification of the parties of the Right can be understood only in terms of the hybrid nature of the French institutional system. The merger proceeded from a long-established system of cooperation at the legislative level, but the main motivation was the restoration of Jacques Chirac's authority over both his political camp and the institution of the presidency. The real test that this new party will face is the selection of a single presidential candidate. Although the party is not yet fully institutionalized, it is possible to identify changes that are already in effect and others that the new organization may potentially introduce. The merger was achieved through financial centralization, an element that distinguishes the UMP from previous electoral coalitions; it entails distributing positions according to various principles of representation and raises the question of how to institute pluralism and possibly, accommodate ideological diversity within the party.
This article gives an account of experimental research conducted in France with focus groups on delinquency. It is based on theoretical work which shows how the political is partly a mode of expression as well as a way of addressing conflict. An empirical analysis is presented of how people take or resist the risk of conflict in public discussion over social issues. The group discussions corroborate previous insights by attesting that conflict in public discussion is generally latent and often repressed. Specific analysis follows of those processes that contribute to the rare transformation from latent to overt conflict, highlighting the evidence that the public expression of conflict proceeds from participants' alliances and biographical narratives. Moreover, a certain hierarchy of social identification is seen among the participants. The influence of political competence on political implication is complex.
Partant du constat que la notion de politisation est de plus en plus utilisée dans la science politique française et que ce succès va de pair avec une forte élasticité conceptuelle, cet article se donne pour objectif d’en clarifier les usages afin d’établir une cartographie raisonnée des problématiques de sciences sociales associées au mot « politisation ». Il aborde d’abord la controverse très fournie, en histoire politique, sur la politisation des campagnes françaises. Puis, il porte l’attention sur les multiples emplois de la notion en science politique, dégageant les principales controverses qui structurent les débats sur la politisation individuelle ou celle des enjeux et activités sociaux. Les auteurs proposent une combinatoire afin d’aider à identifier et préciser les manières dont on utilise cette notion.
