OBAMA LEADS TO TRUMP - 2015 - 2017 WOLRD MEDIA ANALYSIS

If political science is the study of politics and the use of political power as it presents itself on the public scene, "parapolitics" is the study of the use of political power that is not presented on the public scene. The term seems to have been coined by Prof. Peter Dale Scott of the University of California, Berkeley, in the late 1970s. According to Scott, a former Canadian diplomat, poet and author, parapolitics is the study of the "real" use of political power, as opposed to the publicly avowed use of political power. In this work, the authors analyze world political and parapolitical headlines of 2006. This data set or corpus of texts consists of the "Timeline" section of each issue of the electronic journal, " Intelligence " , published in 2006 by the ADI (Association pour le Droit à l'Information or Association for the Right to Information). This unique data set of world political and parapolitical headlines has been made available free of charge to ail fullypaid Intelligence subscribers. It can also be made available to other parties interested in further analysis by contacting the ADI. The authors, Karl M. van Meter and Mathilde de Saint Léger, are specialists in computer-assisted analysis of texts, particularly scientific texts. Their research has included the analysis of major sociology conferences in France, Germany and the United States, which provides detailed overviews of these disciplines and a formal means of comparing them one to anther, and over several years. The present work is based on the first application of this research method in political science and media analysis. The Calliope computer program of text analysis of co-occurrence of key words is applied to approximately 7,000 headlines from 2006, divided into three successive four-month periods. The j analysis of each period results in a "strategic diagram" of the corpus' overall structure and provides a means for further detailed analysis. By following key words forward and backwards in time through these three periods of 2006, the authors reveal some surprising developments that most political observers failed to see in 2006, and that "heavyweight" key words such as "Bush", "Iraq" and "Iran" tended to "drown out" in more informai analyses by specialists.

Analyse textuelle des médias de 2019 utilise la méthode d'analyse textuelle par co-occurrences de mots-clés, qui est appliquée à l'analyse d'une vaste base de données de textes provenant de grands médias portant sur l'international. L'auteur a produit une série d'articles scientifiques et de livres grand public - la plupart édités aux Editions L'Harmattan - qui couvrent toutes les années depuis 2006, lorsque le monde a découvert que le régime Bush-Cheney avait réintroduit la torture pour les prisonniers de guerre en Iraq et que la presse internationale avait abandonné l'expression "terroriste du Hamas" des autorités israéliennes pour utiliser celle de "militant du Hamas". Cet ouvrage fait partie de cette série, mais il est le premier à être édité en français (les autres étant en anglais) et à intégrer des dessins humoristiques. Plusieurs milliers de textes de médias de 2019, classés par mois, sont analysés avec notre méthode spécifique, afin de dégager les thèmes ou clusters cohérents, ainsi que les exemples les plus révélateurs. Au terme de chaque chapitre, un diagramme stratégique montre de quelle manière ces clusters se sont articulés, et permet de suivre l'évolution de certains thèmes au cours de l'année, tels que les Gilets jaunes, la Chine, l'Iran et Trump.
