Un président en scène. Emmanuel Macron : mots, discours, postures

A president in the spotlight. Emmanuel Macron: words, speeches, postures
Un presidente en escena. Emmanuel Macron: palabras, discursos, posturas
Edited by Bernard Lamizet, Christian Le Bart and Damon Mayaffre

Presidential speech constitutes a unique discursive genre, yet each president adopts the constraints that define it in his own way. What is Macronism? What is the discursive universe of the president elected in 2017? How has this discourse evolved over the two five-year terms? What remains of the original Jupiterian ambition? To what extent does it draw from extra-political social universes, the corporate world or the military sphere for example? What meaning should be given to the invocation of ‘sobriety’? These are some of the questions addressed in this issue of Mots. Les langages du politique, starting with investigations that aim to analyse rigorously and methodically the discursive corpora constructed from Emmanuel Macron’s speeches and to question the logics behind their production and reception: what upstream political strategies? What enunciation constraints? What media framing? What readings do commentators offer? What is repeated by other speakers? Is the presidential speech, in other words, always authoritative?
