Abstract
La presse britannique rapporte depuis des decennies une image deformee des affaires et des institutions europeennes. Cet article affirme que la narration tordue proposee par certains medias britanniques a propos de la relation entre le Royaume-Uni et l’Europe continentale a eu autant d’influence que les strategies discursives qu’ils ont utilisees pendant la campagne. En analysant trois exemples du point de vue du Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), et en m’inspirant des theories du mythe de Jack Lule et Roland Barthes, je trouve que deux des textes analyses construisent le mythe populiste d’un peuple britannique plein d’esprit, eternel etranger a l’UE. Cette narration a finalement contribue au vote pour le Brexit.

Through its thematic and varia issues, Politique européenne offers an editorial policy which allows to establish the necessary bridge between theory and practice in the study of the EU in all its dimensions.
