Les mots des « guerres culturelles »

Edited by Alma-Pierre Bonnet, Denis Jamet- Coupé, Cédric Passard

The words of "cultural wars"

First coined in the United States in the early 1990s, the notion of "culture wars" refers to the growing polarisation of public debate around societal and moral issues relating to sexual, religious or ethno-racial minorities and their literary, artistic or media representations. The "culture wars" are also a war of words, as they are increasingly used as a heuristic tool for grasping the changes in political divisions. This issue focuses on their discursive dimensions but also on their rhetorical and argumentative potential.
The papers in this volume examine the issues at the heart of the current culture wars, such as gender, public order and immigration, as well as the controversies surrounding so-called “wokeism” and cancel culture. They study both the political, intellectual and/or media stakeholders of these cultural wars, often located on the far right of the political spectrum, and their targets and the rhetorical, stylistic and lexical means they resort to. They also question their circulation in the national or even transnational public arena, and their uses and effects, particularly as far as electoral competition is concerned.
