This is the first study of May 68 in fiction and in film. It looks
at the ways the events themselves were represented in narrative,
evaluates the impact these crucial times had on French cultural and
intellectual history, and offers readings of texts which were
shaped by it. The chosen texts concentrate upon important features
of May and its aftermath: the student rebellion, the workers
strikes, the question of the intellectuals, sexuality, feminism,
the political thriller, history, and textuality. Attention is paid
to the context of the social and cultural history of the Fifth
Republic, to Gaullism, and to the cultural politics of gauchisme.
The book aims to show the importance of the interplay of real and
imaginary in the text(s) of May, and the emphasis placed upon the
problematic of writing and interpretation. It argues that
re-reading the texts of May forces a reconsideration of the
existing accounts of postwar cultural history. The texts of May
reflect on social order, on rationality, logic, and modes of
representation, and are this highly relevant to contemporary
debates on modernity.
