Résumé
The purpose of this contribution is to examine how logistics is represented in popular culture, emphasizing its often underestimated and misunderstood role. While logistics is essential to the efficient functioning of businesses and public organizations, it is frequently depicted in a simplified or exaggerated manner in film, music, and literature. These portrayals tend to focus on elements such as speed, efficiency, and adventure, overlooking the complexity and sophistication that define modern supply chains. This fragmented perspective often reduces logistics to a series of dramatic actions, failing to capture its rigorous organization and significant strategic importance. Fortunately, some works in popular culture transcend traditional stereotypes, exploring the environmental consequences of logistics and its connections to consumerist excess. These works reveal the underlying tensions between economic progress and social responsibility, prompting critical reflection. By shedding light on often-overlooked aspects, this research note aims to analyze how popular culture shapes collective perceptions of supply chains, their pervasive presence in daily life, and their indispensable role in the intricate organization of today's world.
