本文从人类学的角度考察了法国总统密特朗举行的两次仪式。第一个问题涉及到确立已久的就职和纪念习俗。第二个故事，前往索卢特尔的朝圣之旅，似乎是主人公的原创。在这种民族志分析的基础上，我们有可能在现代政治仪式中发现人类学家在传统社会中所描述的正式程序。与许多强调当代社会政治世俗化的人相反，这里观察到，像总统访问这样的仪式具有宗教层面。这些参与政治合法性建构的现代仪式具有创造性和信息性的特征。
This paper examines from an anthropological perspective two rituals performed by the French president, Francois Mitterrand. The first relates to the well-established custom of inauguration and commemoration. The second, the pilgrimage to Solutre, would appear to be an original invention of its protagonist. On the basis of this ethnographic analysis, it is possible to find in modem political rituals the formal procedure that anthropologists have described in traditional societies. In opposition to many who underline the secularization of politics in contemporary societies, it is observed here that rituals such as these visits of the president have a religious dimension. These modem rituals, which participate in the construction of political legitimacy, are characterized by invention and message.
