After World War II, France embarked on a project of modernization,
which included the development of the modern mass home. At Home in
Postwar France examines key groups of actors - state officials,
architects, sociologists and tastemakers - arguing that modernizers
looked to the home as a site for social engineering and
nation-building; designers and advocates of the modern home
contributed to the democratization of French society; and the
French home of the Trente Glorieuses, as it was built and
inhabited, was a hybrid product of architects', planners', and
residents' understandings of modernity. This volume identifies the
"right to comfort" as an invention of the postwar period and
suggests that the modern mass home played a vital role in shaping
new expectations for well-being and happiness.
