Résumé: 
 Dans la société européenne actuelle, les individus ont tendance à effectuer un repli identitaire sur l’un de leurs groupes d’appartenance. Chacun d’entre eux veut devenir autonome par rapport aux autres et en même temps, s’homogénéiser. C’est seulement en refusant de s’identifier à un “Autre”, à l’étranger, que ce “nous” pourra se construire en une entité auto-suffisante. Par leur narration, les légendes urbaines permettent, aux Européens, la réaffirmation de leurs normes et de leurs valeurs, et ainsi la clarification de l’une de leurs identités. 
 L’analyse sémio-pragmatique de centaines de légendes nous a permis de montrer les intentions, les représentations, la relation et les rôles de leurs diffuseurs européens. Ces récits mettent tous en scène la confrontation de deux protagonistes et ses conséquences: l’un représentant la communauté des sujets-transmetteurs, l’autre une entité opposée jugée «négative». Cette opposition permet d’associer certains individus à des actes ou des événements renvoyant à la peur, l’interdit, le mystère et l’espoir. Même si l’approche interactionnelle nous a montré que les situations de construction ou d’affirmation d’une identité sont plus complexes et ne peuvent se résumer en une stricte et permanente opposition entre deux groupes, le contenu des légendes urbaines européennes se construit sur une simplification de la réalité qui facilite la représentation du monde et de soi. Comme cette désignation de l’Autre n’est pas reliée à des faits mais à des croyances et des stéréotypes, cet Autre devient un bouc-émissaire qui permet par opposition de savoir comment les Européens s’identifient aujourd’hui.

 Abstract:
 In European society, individuals tend to fall back on their communal identity. Each community wants to be autonomous vis-à-vis all other communities and at the same time wants to be homogeneous within in itself. Only through a refusal of identifying with the " Other", the "Foreigner" can "We" be asserted, and thus build up a self-sufficient communal identity. Over the years, the exclusion principle of the "Other" considerably intensified in Europe with the introduction of new divisional factors, such as ethnicity, continental and institutional, which have been used to define "Us". Through their narration, urban legends allow Europeans to reaffirm their norms and values as a means of clarifying one of their identities.
 
 The semio-pragmatic analysis of hundreds of urban legends allows us to show the intentions, representations, connections and roles of their subjects/transmitters. All of these stories explain the confrontation of two protagonists and its consequences: one protagonist represents the community that includes the subjects/transmitters, the narrator and the hero, all sharing the same moral values and humorous complicity; the other represents an opposing group considered "negative". This opposition allows the adherents to the urban legend to associate individuals with frightening, forbidden or mysterious acts or events.
 
 If the interactional approach shows that situations of identity construction or affirmation are complex and cannot be summarized by a strict and unchanging opposition between two groups, the content of the European urban legends nevertheless builds on a simplification of reality that facilitates the representation of the world and of oneself. As the designation of the " Other" does not rely on facts but rather on beliefs and stereotypes, the "Other" becomes a scapegoat which, by opposition, enables us to understand how Europeans identify themselves today.
 
 Key Words: urban legends, identity construction, narratives, scapegoat

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.
