Abstract

Most scholars describe Fair Trade as a heterogeneous field characterised by a diversity of actors, practices and justice criteria. However, I argue that the ways to promote Fair Trade are limited. Indeed, a structural analysis of discourses reveals a structural homology between the different levels of narratives. At the level of functions, it is possible to identitfy recurrent sequences: a sequence of exploitation is opposed to a sequence of help. At the level of characters, discourses always stage four actors: related to the sequence of exploitation, there are an oppressor and a victim ; related to the sequence of help, there are a poor person and a rescuer. Finally, at the level of narration, several narrators intervene: organizations promote Fair Trade, producers show the Fair Trade efficiency, and opinion leaders guarantee the objectivity of Fair Trade discourses.
