Abstract

What economic future can be read in the press? To answer this question, we suggest focusing on a selection of 522 articles published in the French daily press between 2007 and 2014. We suggest that a focus on the surface of texts should be maintained, examining the words, rhetoric, and sources being used. This data was analyzed using lexicometric software. Three questions will be addressed: the first one is lexical. How is the economic future put into words? What lexical universes are specific to the discourses devoted to this future? The second examination requires questioning the identity of those who formulate these discourses. It calls for the identifying of those groups of people who are given the legitimacy to produce representations about the economic future. Which figures of expertise are summoned in these articles? Finally, reading this corpus will lead us to address a final round of questioning: in these texts, are representations of the future coupled with the present? In other words, are they only thought about as projections, dissociated from the current situation, or, on the contrary, are they also built from it? How does such a temporal coupling take place?
