Journal Title: ESSACHESS - Journal for Communication Studies - Year 2014, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
By using the concept of public sphere this article analyzes the dynamics of publicization the French nuclear power controversy by social movement. I recount the emergence of the antinuclear phenomenon since the sixties, its deployment across multiple oppositional public spheres, and its repercussions on the dynamics of public sphere until the year 2010. I highlight the ongoing interaction, over the decades, between oppositional public spheres and the established public sphere. This interaction results in a crossed process of empowerment and institutionalization of the action of social movements.
