How civil peace is prepared ... or not. Concerted public communication of the French institutions against the guarantors of peace: the example of religious symbols in public places

Journal Title: ESSACHESS - Journal for Communication Studies - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 1

Abstract

Current political and religious tensions in France threaten national cohesion. The main point is the break of reciprocity link between citizens and public institutions they finance. The systemic analysis at the heart of this work reveals close relations that these institutions maintain among themselves through recent judicial affairs on religious signs in public places. These privileged links are reflected in a common discourse on secularism that substitutes public debate and ignores the institutional guarantees of peace.
