Titre : Use of the concepts and techniques of cognitive warfare in French politics Auteurs : Arnaud de Morgny, Revue : Cognitive Engineering Numéro : Issue 1 Volume : 7 Date : 2024/02/23 DOI : 10.21494/ISTE.OP.2024.1087 ISSN : 2517-6978 Résumé : In representative democracies, access to power is achieved through elections. Thus, actors in the political field, through the discursive modes they use, use the techniques of cognitive warfare to shape the representations and perceptions of public opinion and its electorate component. The goal is to obtain cognitive superiority over their adversaries in the minds of the electorate. We will clear up the use of the concepts and techniques of cognitive warfare in the French political field in its rhetorical and ideological aspects as tools of cognitive superiority. We will analyse the search for cultural hegemony as a pursuit of mass cognitive encirclement. Éditeur : ISTE OpenScience
