Key research themes

1. How did the political subjectivation and disidentification of May 68 students intersect with broader labor and social movements?

This theme investigates the forms of political subjectivity that emerged from the May 68 student protests through their engagement and identification with workers and marginalized groups. Central to these studies is a Rancièrean framework of disidentification and political emancipation, exploring how students interrupted socio-political orders by relating to the 'Other'—notably workers—and how this facilitated new political solidarities and subject formations. Understanding these dynamics elucidates May 68’s complex coalition-building legacy and its challenges for sustaining political agency across social cleavages.

Key finding: This paper offers a critical interrogation of Kristin Ross's Rancièrean reading of May 68 by identifying two forms of student disidentification: impossible identification (unidirectional embrace of the worker cause) and... Read more
Key finding: This article extends the study of May 68 protests by documenting how repression under Franco facilitated cooperation between diverse social movement actors—including students, workers, and political dissidents—in Spain’s... Read more
Key finding: This essay reveals how Hüseyin Cevahir, a Kurdish-Alevite revolutionary student leader, embodied a double subaltern memory—intersecting racialized community struggles and left-wing class politics—in Turkey’s 1968 movement.... Read more

2. What role did affective politics and emotional experiences play in the collective identities and mobilization of May 68 participants?

This theme focuses on the affective dimensions—such as joy, guilt, and collective happiness—experienced by participants during May 68 uprisings. It contrasts theories of collective guilt with the concept of 'public happiness' to explain how emotions underpin sustained political engagement and group cohesion. Examining these emotional registers helps uncover intangible yet pivotal factors that motivate and sustain social movements beyond formal organization, offering insights into the lived experience and sustainability of revolt.

Key finding: This chapter critiques Jodi Dean’s defense of the Communist Party as an affective infrastructure sustaining collective energies post-revolt by arguing that its reliance on communist guilt ultimately alienates members and... Read more
Key finding: Analyzing Maurice Blanchot’s writings on May 68, this article identifies a tension between the political affects of joy (experienced in insubordination) and fear (of state repression). Using Simone Weil’s description of the... Read more

3. How have cultural productions and intellectual reflections of and after May 68 embodied and critiqued its legacies and transformations?

This theme examines artistic and philosophical responses to May 68, particularly in cinema, philosophy, and intellectual historiography. It traces how filmmakers, poets, and thinkers both reflected on and reshaped the political, social, and cultural ruptures initiated by May 68. The works addressed consider feminist perspectives, the rise and critique of human rights discourse, avant-garde experimentation, and metaphysical rethinking, offering insight into May 68's enduring and contested impact on cultural modernity and political thought.

Key finding: This article interprets Straub and Huillet’s 1967 film as a cinematic work that, while appearing apolitical, anticipates aesthetic and feminist concerns that were prominent in post-1968 film and culture. It argues the film... Read more
Key finding: This chapter articulates two contrasting legacies of May 68 through Gilles Deleuze’s critique of human rights. It contends human rights represent a pessimistic, dogmatic, and transcendent morality that negates radical change... Read more
Key finding: Focusing on Japanese experimental filmmaker Shuji Terayama, this essay argues that visual humor—rooted in tragicomic dialectics and cinematic gags—enabled critiques and embrace of late 1960s revolutionary ideals in Japan.... Read more
