Due to the strong sense among the student community of belonging to
a specific social group, student revolts have been an integral part
of the university throughout its history. Ironically, since the
Middle Ages, the advantageous position of students in society as
part of the social elite undoubtedly enforced their critical
approach. This edited collection studies the role of students as a
critical mass within their urban context and society through
examples of student revolts from the foundation period of
universities in the Middle Ages until today, covering the whole
European continent. A dominant theme is the large degree of
continuity visible in student revolts across space and time,
especially concerning the (rebellious) attitudes of and criticisms
directed towards students. Too often, each generation thinks they
are the first. Moreover, student revolts are definitely not always
of a progressive kind, but instead they are often characterized by
a tension between conservative ambitions (e.g. the protection of
their own privileges or nostalgia for the good old days) and
progressive ideas. Particular attention is paid to the use of
symbols (like flags, caps, etc.), rituals and special traditions
within these revolts in order to bring the students' voice back to
the fore.
