Les réseaux sociaux en politique : une utilité toujours en débat - L'observatoire du web politique #29 - Sénat sur LePost.fr (19:38) Publié parSénat post non vérifié par la rédaction 17/06/2011 à 13h22 - mis à jour le 21/06/2011 à 19h38 | vues | réactions C'est un débat récurrent au sein du monde techno-politique : les réseaux sociaux sont-ils utiles pour les politiques ? Portent-ils en eux une vraie efficacité ou sont-ils un simple phénomène marketing ?

Writing about politics from a perspective that is pretty far left of center, I frequently hear from readers on both sides of the political spectrum that things will not work politically in the US until everyone thinks as they do - they seem to feel that those they disagree with should be done away with in some way - deported, voluntarily leave the country, die, and then all would be right with the world.

There has always been this strain at the fringes of American politics and neither side has a monopoly on it. From time to time there have been movements to send the Irish back to Ireland, the Jews back to Europe, the Blacks back to Africa and the American Indians back to ... well, no one's quite sure about that one. Notwithstanding that, these have always been the ideas of ideologues and extremists. It seems to me, though, that in recent years American political dialogue has degenerated into a war that has as its object the demolition of the other side. Accueil.

The rise of Newt Gingrich, Ph.D.— along with the apparent anti-intellectualism of many of the other Republican candidates — has once again raised the question of the role of intellectuals in American politics. In writing about intellectuals, my temptation is to begin by echoing Marianne Moore on poetry: I, too, dislike them. But that would be a lie: all else equal, I really like intellectuals. Besides, I’m an intellectual myself, and their self-deprecation is one thing I really do dislike about many intellectuals. What is an intellectual? It’s often said that what our leaders need is common sense, not fancy theories. A utopian fantasy? Etude comparée dispositifs concertation en Europe. New Year's Resolutions for Improving Political Dialogue. As the new decade dawns, plenty of institutions -- from gyms to retailers to churches -- will be trying to capitalize on the resolution spirit.

Our usually frenetic pace slows, and we're all but bullied into reflection. We take a look at our waistlines and credit-card debt, and promise ourselves that this year, no seriously, this year will be different. But what if we used that energy not for self-improvement but for national renewal? I'd rather live in a place where there isn't such a wide gap between those who don't feel like they had a civic voice at all and those who spend their social capital shouting and pointing fingers. So what can we do to create this more perfect union? Pop the partisan bubbles. We need to find spaces -- both physical and online -- to explore these complex issues, learn from one another, and then go advocate for our perspective with our representatives.
