This study examines the debate over immigration and national identity in contemporary France in order to understand how rhetorical practice affects the foundation and maintenance of national publics at a historical moment marked by increased diversity and multiculturalism around the globe. In other words, this study is concerned with how representations of inclusion and exclusion in public discourse determine who is considered part of a national community in ways that move beyond formal legal definitions of belonging. Contemporary France is an especially rich case for analysis because of the pervasive and lasting controversies over national identity that have occurred there in recent years. Through rhetorical analysis of numerous persuasive texts-including government documents, public speeches, news and opinion journalism, first-person narratives, interviews, photographs, and artistic and archival displays at a museum-this dissertation illuminates the boundaries of the public debate over what it means to be French today, who sets those boundaries, and what impact the discourse has on the political and social life of the polity. It advances the argument that notions of "Frenchness" are more complex than legal matters of citizenship would suggest and, specifically, that personal and affective dimensions of belonging must be attended to if the country is going to maintain a sense of shared identity in the contemporary context of globalization. In addition to providing a rhetorical perspective on the debate over national identity in contemporary France, this study offers general insight into the ways that national publics are formed and maintained through the symbolic use of language, and so provides evidence for the continued relevance of national identity as a category of collective identification, even in the global era.
