Introduction - Women, Power, Discourses

Summary/Abstract: From the end of the past millennium, two profound revolutions began: the gender revolution (Froideveaux-Metterie 2015; Macé 2015) and the digital revolution (Jenkins 2004; Proulx, et al, 2014; Cardon 2010) in the context of the globalized world. The first revolution implies not only an anthropological rupture signaled by a certain tendency towards the feminization of the world and the “convergence of genres” (Froideveaux-Metterie 2015, 364), but also a “contemporary tension between a principle of authentic equality shared and the collective fabric of inequalities” (Macé 2015, 8). It is from the supremacy of the male model that we will discuss the visibility of women politicians who, like women in general, experienced a long-lasting symbolic annihilation (Tuchman 1978).
