Culture et patrimoine dans les municipalités : une communication politique en quête de consensus ? : enjeux démocratiques des questions culturelles et patrimoniales dans le débat politique local à travers les cas de Nice et de Dijon

subject

description

This research falls mainly into the field of political communication. It tries to comprehend cultural and patrimonial questions as essentiel political communication issue in the municipalities in France. Having chosen two fields (Nice and Dijon), established a theoretical tool and a methodology, we started to hypothesize as follows : the political communication, relating to matters of culture and heritage in the local democratic life, builds up as two differing communication systems in each city. Our work draws on a corpus composed of semi-structured interviews with elected representatives, their speeches and other additional sources (speeches in the media, public and private archives of the elected representatives, reports). The analysis of the corpus allowed to highlight substantial differences foreseen by the preliminary hypothesis. However, it shows a recent common development. As a matter of fact, in both cities, the political communication finds convergences in the shape of a pursuit, in the public space, of a consensus on cultural and patrimonial questions.
