This thesis comprises two sections. The first proposes a discursive analysis of forty journalistic reports written by Louis-Gilles Francoeur and published in 2005 in Le Devoir daily newspaper. Its author aimed to demonstrate that Francoeur promotes a conservationist progressive view of the relation that man should maintain with its natural environment, an ideological position favouring flora and fauna's conservation as well as their wise and sustainable management. The studied texts will, at first, be placed in their socio-historical context, among the emergence of a wider discourse: the environmental discourse in the Western civilization, in Quebec and in the medias. The reports' discursive strategies shall then be explored. The second part of this thesis presents the author's own creative writing, a play intitled Contes orduriers, which can be formally and thematically linked with the critical section of the present study.
