Abstract
Between 2011 and 2016, several demonstrations were set up against shale gas mining in France after it was authorized by the Sarkozy government. With two corpuses of about a hundred slogans each, the present article examines that demonstration discourse. What do the slogans tell of the aspirations and values of the protest movement? Who is being denounced and how? What previous fights do they refer to and repurpose? The study of two original corpuses will provide an answer to those questions while showing the inventiveness of that demonstration discourse.
