The " Nora-Minc " report. The history of a best seller, Andrée Walliser.
Made public in 1978, the Nora-Minc report was a typical instance of the French tradition of administrative reports. Requested by V. Giscard d'Estaing in order to take stock of the computerization of society, at a time of questioning and increasing worries in France, this report met with great success both in the press and in bookstores, thanks to its brilliant writing and reassuring conclusions. In a few months it became a best seller and, because of the ambiguous reactions it caused, a kind of mirror reflecting, in a period of socio-economic change and discourses on modernization, the state of French public opinion in the late 1970s. The report was much commented, but was it really heeded ? Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
