Le pyromanisme discursif

This document is the foundational text introducing the concept of pyromanisme discursif (discursive pyromanism). It proposes a conceptual framework to describe a contemporary mode of intervention in public debate based on the circulation of emotionally inflammable information fragments, often drawn from legitimate media sources, without explicit argumentative commitment. The text defines the concept, distinguishes it from related phenomena (rumour, trolling, militant discourse, clickbait), and analyzes its structural conditions of emergence within digital media ecosystems and attention-based economies. Written as an independent working paper, this document aims to provide a durable analytical tool for understanding current pathologies of public debate.
