Description

Explore how the concept of 'culture populaire' has shaped French society and discourse from 1936 to the present day. Brian Rigby's comprehensive study traces the evolution of popular culture in France, examining how this contested term has been understood, debated and weaponised across politics, media and consumer markets. The book engages with seminal work by major French theorists including Barthes, Bourdieu and Baudrillard, offering insight into why culture remains one of the most frequently invoked yet contested concepts in French vocabulary. This lively and cogent analysis reveals how popular culture has functioned as both a commercial force and a political battleground, selling not only books, newspapers and magazines but shaping consumer products and political movements alike. Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand French cultural identity and the intellectual traditions that define it.
