Purpose : This article aims to analyze the dynamics of Houphouëtist propaganda in Ivorian daily general information newspapers concerning social solidarity from 2018 to 2025.
Methodology : Data collection was carried out using documentary review, thematic content analysis, reading grid, and purposeful sampling. The corpus mobilized for this purpose consists of seven Ivorian daily general information newspapers, namely Le Patriote, Le Nouveau Réveil, Notre Voie, Fraternité Matin, le temps, le nouveau courrier and l’expression. The analysis and interpretation of the results were conducted based on Max Weber's comprehensive method and Bourdieu's field theory.
Findings : At the end of this study, three fundamental axes emerge, namely the approaches to social solidarity in Houphouëtist propaganda, the dynamics of Houphouëtist propaganda around social solidarity, and the stakes of Houphouëtist propaganda around social solidarity.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice : This theory help to understand how social solidarity about houphouëtist propaganda contribue to explain political struggle in ivorian context.
