Nouveau discours, nouveaux succès

Abstract

L’arrivée de Marine Le Pen à la tête du Front national en 2011 marque un double tournant dans l’histoire du parti : d’un côté un renouvellement du discours, du leadership et de l’image du fn ; de l’autre une dynamique électorale ascendante. L’un explique-t-il l’autre ? La confrontation entre analyse des discours de Marine Le Pen et étude des motivations du vote frontiste laisse présager une droitisation de l’électorat plutôt qu’un recentrement idéologique du parti.

The origins, characteristics and trends of neo-nationalism in the 21st century

“…They change ideas and adjust strategies in an attempt to waltz into the mainstream (The Economist 2018 ). In terms of political discourse, far-right parties covet the image of a normalized party fit to govern by eliminating the “politically incorrect” elements such as anti-Semitism and racism (Alduy 2016 ) 3 . In terms of campaign strategy, radical right-wing parties adopt a “people-friendly” strategy by drawing on the “positive energy” of traditional left-wing parties.…”

Hvem eier Jeanne d’Arc? Fra helgen til politisk symbol

“…64 Denne ambisjonen hadde aldri far Le Pen -han var fornøyd med å vaere «Republikkens djevel». 65 Bruddet med deler av farens Jeanne-kultus har også med heltinnens religiøse dimensjon å gjøre: Der Jean-Marie hovedsakelig la vekt på helgenen Jeanne d'Arc for å appellere til katolske velgere, benytter ikke Marine som partileder seg av dette aspektet. Hun velger heller å fremheve den nasjonale heltinnen, symbolet på Frankrike -fortrinnsvis mot EU.…”

“It's not just about the migrants.” Anti-immigrant discourse and co-opted marginality in the online public sphere

“…Cecile Alduy (2016) examined how the French extreme right party cleaned its repertoire of all markers of extremism (e.g., biological racism and antisemitism-related terms), and borrowed republican vocabulary ("social justice," "freedom," "rights"). Similarly, the extreme right in the Netherlands, led by Geert Wilders, renamed itself the "party for freedom", and invoked western values of individual freedom to oppose a reactionary, homophobic, and misogynistic representation of Islam (Alduy, 2016). Such considerations suggest added challenges when examining the public discourse about immigrants in the public sphere.…”

“…Scholars have also invoked the co-opting of ideas that belong to the neoliberal repertoire, such as social justice in France (Alduy, 2016) or freedom and human rights in Northern Europe (Bartlett, 2011), which allows for convincing narratives to be built that invoke the victimization of the majority groups. Anti-immigrant publics seem to contest the consensus of hegemonic neo-liberal discourse by elaborating and formulating alternative viewpoints that shift the consensus structures (i.e., as a white, I am injured/ as a Christian, I am being marginalized by Muslims), and can be safely expressed in the mainstream public sphere.…”
