vertu ostentatoire, ennemi public, idéologie, caricatureRésumé
Cet article dépeint une analyse de la construction médiatique d’un personnage controversé, le professeur et psychologue clinicien canadien Jordan Peterson, comme fragment de la culture populaire. Basée sur les méthodes de la critique littéraire et sur la comparaison, l’interprétation des thèmes et du style, avec l’appui d’images et de libellés circulant dans les médias, la réflexion critique proposée ne porte pas sur ses idées, mais la manière dont les médias ont influencé leurs audiences en créant un ennemi à travers leurs représentations de cet intellectuel public. Le texte est une tentative de l’auteure, qui a vécu en régime communiste totalitaire, de démontrer comment les techniques de propagande, telles que la vertu ostentatoire, stigmatisent.
