Abstract

This article analyses the political use of Internet, particularly by the political parties. The studies about the national websites of the parties from different western democracies point out that these websites are more used as a means of supplemental diffusion of information than to benefit the citizen´s engagement. Related to communication, the article intends to question the exposure, when it is possible, of ordinary citizens´speeches on french parties websites. How is the “profane” speech incorporated by the communication processing of the party in internet? And how consider this integration related to the communication processing of the party?
