The presidential election is a special circumstance when one person meets the people, said once the Centrist leader François Bayrou in a speech given the 1st of March 2007 during the presidential campaign. This quote has been retaken by many other politicians and it was sometimes attributed to the général de Gaulle. But after eight men who were presidents in the fifth Republic in France, it can be interesting to think about the strategy used by women to attempt to become presidents. How do they legitimize their place in a masculine political landscape? What is their storytelling in terms of leadership in a personalized election? By using the framework of critical discourse analysis, we will focus on three candidates, Valérie Pécresse, Marine Le Pen and Anne Hidalgo. How did these candidates present themselves to the electors in order to rule the country? By using the typology of Amossy with the notion of ethos (2010), we will analyze the books published by and on the candidates during the election. The prior ethos is linked to the reputation of the person whereas the discursive ethos reflects the performance of the candidate, who tries to react, correct or empower the prior ethos . Did the three candidates modify their ethos in order to have a new leadership?The publication of books has a marginal effect on the campaign, but it helps the authors to polish their image. The corpus will be completed with some important speeches delivered by the candidates during the campaign. The presentation was made under the conference "The Power(s) of Language - Negotiating Voice and Recognition" which was held on 17 and 18 June 2022 at Stockholm University.

The 'Urban Century' has seen a rise in power of cities, and the emergence of city mayors as significant political actors both nationally and globally. The power of city mayors, which unifies pragmatic, techno-managerial leadership with the authority and legitimacy of public office, invites a reappraisal of the gendered construction of power in the 'Urban Century', and the particular notions of hegemonic masculinity that city mayors recreate. This article explores the example of Medellín, Colombia, whose mayor Sergio Fajardo is widely regarded to have stewarded the city's rapid reduction in violence. Fajardo's leadership can be characterised as typical of the phenomenon of smart, cosmopolitan, charismatic mayors who are seen to respond professionally to local needs by making smart investment decisions and attracting international capital. The emergence of a techno-managerial mayor in the city of Medellín, which during the 1990s was the epicentre of Colombia's multi-faceted conflict with the highest homicide rate in the world, represents a fundamental change to the identity and gender of power in a context of violent conflict where legitimate authority in terms of a monopoly on the use of force, was fiercely disputed. I use this example to explore how mayoral power is gendered and how it relates to violence, which is central to liberal theories of leadership and the focus of the feminist critique of them. The possibility that such a character attain power indicates underlying changes in the gendered nature of political space, including the institution of a Sub-Secretariat for Women and formalisation of participation in political process.

Just what should technology assessment involve? Analyses of information technology in offices show that it is not enough to be concerned with the technology itself. On the contrary, the hierarchy in the work between men and women, as well as the way in which the work is organized, should be a major issue in any attempt at technology assessment. Technology reflects both the capitalist and sexual power structure.
