Abstract
Abstract:The French politician Pierre Poujade (1920–2003), who launched a pro-small-business party in the 1950s and was an early mentor to Jean-Marie Le Pen, was famously opposed to intellectuals, the media, and other elites whom he saw as enemies of the people. Roland Barthes's keen rhetorical analysis of Poujade's speeches showed the extent of the politician's anti-intellectualism and offers a helpful guide in deciphering contemporary reactionary rhetoric, which relies on many of the same tropes. Inspired by Barthes's analysis, this article shows the ways in which Poujade engaged in information warfare in order to advance his agenda.
摘要:法国政治家皮埃尔·普杰德(Pierre Poujade, 1920-2003)在20世纪50年代发起了一个支持小企业的政党，并且是让-玛丽·勒庞(Jean-Marie Le Pen)的早期导师，他以反对知识分子、媒体和其他精英而闻名，他认为这些人是人民的敌人。罗兰·巴特对普杰德演讲的敏锐修辞分析显示了这位政治家反智主义的程度，并为解读当代反动修辞提供了有益的指导，这些修辞依赖于许多相同的比喻。受巴特分析的启发，本文展示了普杰德为了推进自己的议程而进行信息战的方式。
