Quand les scénaristes de fiction écrivent la politique

Television fiction plays a major role in how we understand the political arena. From Baron Noir to The West Wing, political fiction creates a space where democracy can be narrated differently. It allows exploring the mechanisms of power, relations between political leaders, institutions, and citizens, as well as the tensions and contradictions running through democratic life.

How does fiction depict politics?

What does it tell about those who wield power?

And how do politicians experience being portrayed by fiction?

This meeting, organized in partnership with the Nouvelle Séquence collective, EUPRAXIE (PEPR ICCARE), and Le Grand Continent, will bring together these different perspectives to examine how screenwriters write politics and how their stories, in turn, shape our understanding of the political world.
