Abstract
The Liberation gave a new impetus to the ideas of ‘popular culture’ and ‘shared culture’ which had been prized and fought for in the 1930s. The universal right to culture, supported strongly by the spirit of the Resistance, reappeared straight after the Liberation in every kind of initiative: leisure clubs and works committees took part in an active cultural movement with the intention of building and realising ambitions which could no longer remain in the realm of principles and debates. Radio, of course, did not escape this movement.
