Les sondages et la transformation de l'opinion publique

Abstract

Our text is more an epilogue than a conclusion. It could be an invitation to continue the critical analysis on stereotypes of the Other and at the same time, it reminds the place that doxa and its stereotyped representations takes, even in the scientific discourse. Indeed, as a common place, a social link, and a consensus of representations that comes with credibility and likeliness, doxa is the condition for the existence of common sense. The multidisciplinary and critical look on our representations of the Other shows clearly the stereotypes concerning its aspect and its body and tries to reveal their genealogies. Still, stereotypes seem to be necessary for us to seize the extreme reality of these bodies. This necessity is interesting enough by itself to justify these studies.
