Couleurs politiques


Mots. Les langages du politique



La référence aux partis politiques au moyen de leur couleur emblématique semble être une pratique courante du discours politique et journalistique. Les adjectifs de couleur, utilisés comme tels ou comme substantifs (les Verts) ou adverbes (voter rouge), ponctuent l'histoire politique des deux derniers siècles. Cette pratique autorise de nombreux retournements, détournements, réappropriations. Elle favorise également l’humour, la réfection de clichés (marée verte, péril rouge, bleu Marine), ces procédés pouvant être associés au jeu sur le signifiant ou même le signifié métonymique (la rose du PS), ou à une forme complexe d’iconicité (les Verts), jusqu’à des jeux de mots. Les cinq auteurs de ce dossier ont étudié la référence à la couleur dans le discours politique et son incidence sur l’argumentation, que ces valeurs soient plus ou moins stabilisées ou au contraire « en mouvement ».

Mécaniques de la dépolitisation
Mechanics of depoliticisation
This issue sets out to explore the various discursive mechanisms of depoliticisation, including the disqualification of a political approach to the issues and subjects at stake, the narrowing of the space for democratic debate, and the invisibilisation of politics through the gradual imposition of supposedly apolitical rationalities.
