International audience ; This article analyses irony in relation with the language ideologies of a speech community. Starting from an auto-ironic utterance produced in an anarchist assembly, it studies how this particular type of footing – which links text and context in a dissonant way – works with the cultural norms in circulation in that specific social group and what it might entail on language users' subjectivity and ethos. In the first place, it presents the theoretical frame mobilized for the analyses, defining notions such as language ideology, metapragmatics and irony as footing. Then, it clarifies what is really at stake in those political assemblies in terms of language ideologies and it shows the data of the study. Finally, it suggests some interpretations about what the presuppositions and the pragmatic effects of this particular utterance generate in that particular speech event ; À partir d'un énoncé auto-ironique produit en assemblée générale anarchiste et thématisant un acte de parole, cette contribution a pour objectif de poser la disjonction énonciative caractéristique du procédé ironique comme lieu d'exploration du fonctionnement des idéologies langagières en circulation dans un groupe social donné. Plus précisément, en faisant dialoguer l'anthropologie linguistique nord-américaine et la linguistique énonciative telle qu'elle est travaillée en France, il s'agit d'analyser l'origine et les effets de cette disjonction énonciative afin d'expliquer comment les normes sociales qui unissent des signes, notamment linguistiques, à leur contexte d'énonciation peuvent travaillent l'expérience subjective des locuteurs dans leurs productions langagières. Un première partie cadre théoriquement la question de départ, en revenant sur les notions d'idéologies langagières, de métapragmatique et sur l'ironie comme jeu énonciatif. Une deuxième partie présente le terrain de l'enquête et ses enjeux, ainsi que le corpus soumis à l'analyse. Enfin, une troisième partie interprète et propose des hypothèses quant au rôle des idéologies langagières, via la fonction métapragmatique, dans la production de cet énoncé à la fois auto-ironique et métadiscursif.

A contradiction arises in anarchist and autonomist movements when anti-authoritarianism encounters the situated power relationships that emerge within any process of political organization. This thesis describes how this contradiction creates a link between the "formalization" of activist general assemblies and the "horizontality" of social relations among participants, as well as how this tension is performed in face-to-face interactions. Establishing a dialogue between French discourse analysis and linguistic anthropology, this project analyses the sociopolitical dimensions of linguistic reflexivity, examining how the interactional order of general assemblies is naturalized and denaturalized. During a four-year period of ethnographic research, I collected three kinds of data: a selection of written texts, notes based on direct observation, and the transcript of an assembly meeting in its entirety. The analysis of this semiotic material shows how the "horizontal-formalist interactional register" - by focusing on domination as access to public speech - transforms and displaces power relationships between participants during those assemblies without, however, abolishing them. At the same time, this register neglects other ways of wielding power through speech. The naturalizing force of the "horizontal-formalist interactional register" is challenged, however, by the fact that the components of the speech event are differentially valued within anarchist general assemblies. Conflicts over the value of particular aspects of the speech event produce and are produced by an ongoing historical process of contestation and evaluation among the different entities composing the anarchist movement, particularly surrounding the question of political organization. As a result of both the valorization of political reflexivity and the strong discursive heterogeneity of metapragmatic discourses about the assembly, practices that denaturalize the speech event remain possible ; Partant du constat d'une contradiction, propre à ...
