Abstract
- “Réflexions pour 1985”, a prospective report published in 1964, envisaged what France might look like in 1985. This essay argues the blend of “probable” and “desirable” in its imagined vision of the future reveals an agenda of enforcing social compliance with its techno-scientific assumptions. To test such an assessment of the text, this essay offers a study of the shaping factors and shaping actors of the report, before analysing the language of the report itself. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
