Le cadrage des discours politiques européens sur les migrations : l’illusion des controverses

Abstract

This article aims at studying identity political discourse on migration and its counter-discourse, building on the theory of hegemonies developed at the University of Essex (Laclau & Mouffe 2009, Howarth & Torfing 2005). This fertile theoretical framework seems to suffer from its abstraction and a lack of methodological development (Dahlgren 2011, Yilmaz 2016). The praxeological model of textuality in the same (fr. en même) and in itself (fr. en soi-même) of Jeanne-Marie Barbéris (Barbéris 1998a, 1998b; Détrie, Masson & Verine 1998; Fauré 2011) can fill in this gap. The article combines these two theories to analyse speeches by members of the European Parliament during plenary debates on three resolutions on migration, as well as on the text of these resolutions, during the 2014-2019 legislature.
