商品簡介
"...it was not just factories, offices or national economies that were to be planned and rationalized, but homes, minds, and bodies..." states Clarke (French studies, U. of Southampton, UK) in her introduction. In chapters organized both chronologically and thematically the author addresses the centrality of the impulse toward organization--toward heightened esteem of expert, technological approaches to all aspects of everyday life, art, and social and political organization. This is a thoughtful and thought-provoking study of major cultural themes during the interwar period in France. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
