The satirical weekly, Le Canard enchaîné, founded in 1915 and still running strong, is an “€œunidentified political object”€. Linked by scholars and by successive members of the editorial staff themselves either with the great anarchical tradition, or with an ultra-republican trend, it blends articles and cartoons which project radical or communist tendencies and even right-wing anarchical references. This extraordinarily composite political culture (which could even be called “€œpolitical cultures”€), without any party connections, is one of the clues of its long-lasting success; this original catch-all formula attracted many readers to Le Canard enchaîné and this renewed its audience, thus adjusting itself to new conditions.
