Abstract
The Social Representation of the Yellow Vests Among Young French People: An Explanatory Study
Highlights
Today, who has never heard of the “Yellow Vest crisis”? Inexistent up to a few months ago, this social protest movement is in the news headlines, and no-one can escape this issue whether in the newspapers, on television, on the social networks or even in discussions among friends
The Yellow Vests crisis started in November 2018, and five months later, it is still part of the news
This study in the field of social representations (Abric, 1993; Flament 1994; Gaymard, 2014a) had the objective of validating two hypotheses: one on the Yellow Vests as an object of social representation and the other on the centrality of violence given the news and images conveyed by the media
Summary
Inexistent up to a few months ago, this social protest movement is in the news headlines, and no-one can escape this issue whether in the newspapers, on television, on the social networks or even in discussions among friends. This movement which began in November 2018 led to a Great National Debate in March 2019. Vol., No.2, 2019 unions have taken up the questions and demands raised by the Yellow Vests In this climate, it seems interesting to study the social representation that young people have of the Yellow Vests. Even if there exist no studies backed up by figures on the subject, several sources note that young people were absent from the Great National Debates meetings
