Quand des immigrés prennent la parole. Appropriation des plateformes de blogging à des fins politiques par des immigrés marocains

Abstract

This paper analyzes several strategies of some Moroccan immigrants who aim to speak to their peers and to Moroccan politicians. It focuses specifically on the political appropriation of blogging spaces. The methodology developed in this work mainly mobilizes discourse analysis, comprehensive interviews and the study of enunciation (editorial and linguistic). This work takes into account the political and media environments in which these practices take shape. It examines the different phenomena that govern the construction of political meaning in these blogs by studying on one hand narrative strategies, argumentation and topics and, on the other hand, the profile of the instigators of these spaces. These political practices are media related, discursive and creative. They are characterized by the diversity of their forms and by their critical tone of denunciation. They promise to give an existence and visibility to these immigrants.
