This article traces the influence of Front National (FN) on the transformation of mainstream French narratives of laïcité since 1989, with particular attention to education policy. It argues that the FN’s right-wing populist rhetoric, particularly the systematic securitisation of Islam as a threat to the ‘people’, facilitated the more widespread reframing of laïcité as a Republican defence mechanism, operating primarily through the school system. Laïcité was increasingly deployed in mainstream discourses and legislative measures to address two interrelated security concerns: the immediate safety of the school by the promotion of neutrality, and the overall wellbeing of the Republic via the prevention of radicalisation. Analysing this process in two specific periods (1989–2004 and 2005–2019), the article demonstrates that the FN’s populist agenda came to be in a symbiotic relationship with the centre-right and centre-left parties. While established parties gradually incorporated the FN’s securitisation narrative in their policymaking, the FN went through a process of ‘normalisation’ by claiming ownership of laïcité as a way to frame its anti-Islam stance in a more acceptable Republican discourse.

法国教育政策中的右翼民粹主义和通俗叙事的证券化

本文追溯自 1989 年以来,国民阵线 (FN) 对法国主流的 laïcité 叙事转变的影响,特别关注教育政策。它认为,国民阵线的右翼民粹主义言论,特别是系统地将伊斯兰教安全化为对“人民”的威胁,促进了更广泛地重新构建 laïcité 作为共和党的防御机制,主要通过学校系统运作。Laïcité 越来越多地应用于主流话语和立法措施中,以解决两个相互关联的安全问题:通过促进中立来保障学校的直接安全,以及通过防止激进化来保障共和国的整体福祉。在两个特定时期(1989-2004 和 2005-2019)分析这一过程,这篇文章表明,国民阵线的民粹主义议程与中右翼和中左翼政党形成了共生关系。虽然老牌政党逐渐将新阵线的证券化叙述纳入其政策制定,但新阵线通过声称拥有 laïcité 的所有权,以此在更容易接受的共和党话语中构建其反伊斯兰立场,从而经历了一个“正常化”的过程。
