The FNAC: A Story of Standardization

Résumé

How a culturally avant-garde company gradually came little-by-little to be part of Big Business : Vincent Chabault recounts the story of the FNAC, from its Trotskyite origins to the present. What traces remain of the two individuals, both former Trotskyites, who founded the FNAC in 1954? What role did the FNAC play in the commodification of culture, and what remains of the company's original mission? Who are the company's employees, and under what conditions do they work? Vincent Chabault's recent book retraces the history of this company, which has received so much high praise over the years that it has been the object of virulent criticism. Two questions can be asked : one side how the company was able to " absorb " changes in the business environment, and other side at what cost to its original mission ? What working at the FNAC has meant to two generations of the firm's employees ?
