Afin de participer, d’aspirer à gouverner et de ne pas s’aliéner de potentiels électeur·trice·s, des partis autrefois marginaux peuvent s’institutionnaliser et modifier leur agenda et leurs stratégies. Au lendemain des cinquante ans du Parti québécois, quel bilan peut-on dresser de cette organisation ? Cet article explore dans une perspective comparative les raisons derrière le processus d’institutionnalisation, en étudiant également les cas du Scottish National Party en Écosse et du Sinn Féin en Irlande du Nord. Les données utilisées sont théoriques et empiriques, relevant de l’analyse de leurs plateformes électorales. Cela permet d’évaluer également leur caractère antisystémique, tout en considérant leur contexte sociopolitique respectif.
This article assesses the media treatment of the Catalan referendum on independence (October 2017) in the Québec context. By conducting a quantitative and deductive content analysis of articles published in the four major Québec newspapers, we analyse how Québec
newspapers frames the conflict regarding their historical editorial position about the Québec independence project. In addition, we examine how the comparison between Québec and Catalonia fit into the media coverage. Our results confirm the dominant use of the conflict frame
for media coverage of political issues. They also point out the importance of internal and institutional factors like the importance of press agencies or the presence of correspondent on the ground as features influencing frames. In terms of editorial position, data suggest that similar issues
between two stateless nations do not automatically involve a similar media treatment. We suggest the concept of ‘projection effect’ to bring nuances to the ‘mirror effect’ proposed in the literature.
