La représentation politique à l’épreuve du people : élus, médias et peopolisation en France dans les années 2000

Le Temps des médias n°10, printemps 2008, p.66-81

In the 2000s, is the French celebrity politics a brand-new phenomenon or the mere continuation of the personalisation of power inherent in the French Fifth Republic ? Does it mean the end of the “French exception” as far as the politicians’ private life would no longer be protected ? This article aims to examine the main features of the “peopolisation” (from the French “presse people”, i.e. “celebrity press”) so as to identify the characteristics of this phenomenon and the exchanges it implies between gossip weeklies, the political sphere and the “quality” press. Actually, mainstream media and politicians seem to play the lead part in the rise of celebrity politics in the French public sphere. Far from being the driving force of this process, the gossip press looks more like its inspiration, stressing the aesthetic dimension of political representation. DrapeauFrancais
