Emmanuel Macron ou «le Roi nu». Dévoilement politique dans un contexte de «vide démocratique»

Abstract

The arrival of Emmanuel Macron as President of the French Republic, as unpredictable in his candidacy as singular in his election, offers elements of a reflection around the nature of contemporary power. From this unprecedented situation, it is possible to draw four lines of force: the forms of change at the moment of coming to power - the "paradoxical breaks"; the conception of the presidential function - the "Jupiterian incarnation"; the contemporary context of power - the "democratic void"; and finally, the convergence and effects of all these themes as a form of "neutralization of political rhetoric".
