Le Mouvement 20 février au Maroc entre l'autolégitimation et la délégitimation de l'ÉtatUne analyse critique du discours

Abstract

In the Arab Spring the aim of the discursive practices was to gain access to political discourse in the public sphere and media discourse or social networks. Consequently, this use has been an important factor and a key element in the failure, success or continuation of the process of delegitimization of the State apparatus by the social actors of these popular mobilizations. Taking the above background into consideration, the aim of this paper is to analyse the discursive process of self-legitimation and delegitmation of the power in the discourse of the 20 February Movement in Morocco (M20F). The theoretical framework in which frames the analysis of the process of legitimation, self-delegitimation and delegitimation in the discourses of the M20F is: i) the notion of discursive legitimation Van Dijk and Martin Rojo (1997), Van Dijk (2003) and Chilton (2011), ii) the notion of context of Van Dijk, principally that refers to the local and global context Van Dijk (1999) and 2003), and iii) the definition of discourse and discursive strategies notion from historical discursive approach Wodak (1999, 2001, 2003 and 2005)
