Les mots des « guerres culturelles »
The words of "cultural wars"
First coined in the United States in the 1990s, the notion of "culture wars" refers to the polarisation of public debate around societal and moral issues. As an increasingly popular way of looking at shifts in political divides, the concept of “culture wars” also constitutes a war of words that this issue aims to examine.

Nommer le religieux
Naming the religious
Self- and hetero-denomination are embedded in social interactions and carry political, legal, cultural and social conflicts. Through five case studies addressing the question in different religions, this special issue examines the social logics behind the scholarly and non-scientific patterns of religious naming processes.

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.

La République au-delà du slogan
Invoking "the Republic", calling oneself a "Republican"... Does the term Republic still have any meaning? The texts in this issue show that the polysemy of the word is less a reflection of the evanescence of its meaning than of a polymorphous debate on the definition of citizenship in a world marked by deepening individualism.

Les mots du vote de la Rome antique à la Révolution française
Words describing voting, from Ancient Rome to the French Revolution
The Romans had a rich vocabulary in Latin to describe the voting process. This issue examines how this vocabulary came to take on different meanings, depending on the historical and political contexts in which it was used, in the ancient period as well as in the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the Classical Age.

La diversité en discours : contextes, formes et dispositifs
Diversity discourses: contexts, forms and systems
This dossier explores a critical approach to "diversity" in its discursive and linguistic dimensions. It debates the meaning of "diversity", the different conceptions it encompasses, its uses, specific variations, in connection with the actors' strategies and in a plurality of enunciation contexts.

Circulation des discours dans les récits complotistes

This issue of Mots focuses on the interdiscursive and mimetic practices at work in the discourse of conspiracy. It aims to identify the linguistic points that crystallise this circulation and to develop and share an analysis toolbox.

Migration et crise : une co-occurrence encombrante
Migration and crisis: a cumbersome co-occurrence

It brings together contributions from researchers from various disciplines, who investigate both the discursive constructions of the migration crisis and the crisis of discourses on migration.

Le multilinguisme dans les organisations internationales
Multilingualism in international organisations
The choice of multilingualism in international organisations involves constant - and costly - translation and interpreting work, the political repercussions of which are still too often underestimated. This dossier aims to shed light on the political repercussions of this work, from a multidisciplinary perspective.
