Three perspectives on the French presidential election of 2022. [...]

Abstention et mathématiques électorales.

Avec plus de 3 millions de personnes ayant voté blanc ou nul, 28 % d’abstention et une marge de victoire bien plus faible qu’en 2017, de nombreuses analyses sont possibles, mais la plupart indiquent à minima une dissatisfaction générale par rapport au système électoral. Le barrage républicain qu’on a pu observer sur les cartes n’a pas la [...]

France, une société géographique.

The geography of the presidential election's second round is both simple and strong. It reveals a very marked opposition in terms of urbanity gradients and is more marked than the age, diploma or professional divides. The issue of inhabiting, where the voters' margins of autonomous choice are the most significant, shows the best resonance with political orientations. [...]

France dorée, France rouillée.

Ce que nous montre la carte des densités de suffrages.

Using an original cartographic technique combining coloured layers, the article presents the vote density map for the second round of the French presidential election of 2022. This cartography offers an alternative to electoral cartograms, keeping the usual location and shape of the territories while highlighting the electoral weight of the different areas of the country. Secondly, the article maps the useful electoral territory of E. Macron, and symmetrically highlights the abstract and impractical nature of Lepéniste electoral geography. [...]

La France urbaine de Yannick Jadot.

With 4.63% of the vote, the leader of Europe Écologie les Verts (EELV), Yannick Jadot, achieved the second best result of an ecologist candidate in a presidential election - a score, however, far from the hopes raised by the intermediate elections of 2019 and 2020. [...]

The results of the first round of the presidential election gave Marine Le Pen the lead in all the departments of the Grand Est region, except in the two Alsatian departments where the outgoing president received the most votes. [...]

Mélenchon et Zemmour.

In addition to the collapse of the right, the presidential election was the scene of two important facts analysed here: the appearance of a Zemmour vote and the consolidation of the Mélenchon vote, suggesting that an extreme right - extreme left opposition was in the making. Indeed, the geography of the Zemmour vote and its sociology are closer to the inaugural FN vote of 1984 than to the Marine Le Pen votes of 2017 and 2022. As for the [...]

L’hospitalité urbaine au risque de la contagion.

Comment continuer à recevoir les plus précaires tout en les espaçant les uns des autres ?

This paper interrogates the social and spatial consequences of lock-down and “barrier” measures for newcomers and precarious foreigners in the city of Geneva. Linking these measures to the question of urban hospitality, the article documents the paradoxical transformations of the “hospitable milieux” that usually offer newcomers — and established “undocumented” migrants — the possibility to “take place” in the city and to stay there somewhat poorly. Addressing the case of “domestic workers” as well as “low-threshold” shelters and the [...]
