	Robert Pollin, "Be Utopian: Demand the Realistic"
		The May 1968 uprising in Paris and the nearly simultaneous uprising in Prague, Czechoslovakia were struggles to envision a renewed left utopianism that transcended these two dominant models.
		May 1968 was therefore a moment of high optimism for the left.
		That is to say, at the time of May 1968, almost nobody on the left had envisioned the historical trajectory that has actually transpired -- that Soviet-style socialism would collapse and that Keynesian social democracy would also be supplanted as an ascendant economic philosophy in most of the rest of the world.

	The Girls of May
		It tells the tale of girls involved in the uprisings in Paris in May 1968 - the communist and anarchist agitators, the partners of male revolutionaries, the upper-class bourgeois girls who rooted for the revolution.
		From these, we learn that the girls of May 1968 were disapproved of by their mothers.
		The Girls of May is performed by young anti-capitalist protestors, and captures something of the paradoxical anti-politics of that movement.

	Pierre Frank: May 1968 - First Phase of the French Socialist Revolution (10. International repercussions) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		It cannot be doubted that the May mobilization of the French working class has broken the ground and set the workers throughout all of West Europe on the move.
		As May 1968 showed also, these battles were renewed starting off from the heritage of the past, despite the fact that the Social Democratic or Stalinist leaderships have encased this heritage in a thick reformist shell for 20 to 30 years.
		May 1968 dealt a mortal blow to all these generalizations, without, however, putting in question the validity of certain special methods such as guerrilla warfare in specific cases.

	May 1968 and After: Cinema in France and Beyond
		May 1998 marks the 30th anniversary of the student riots and subsequent strikes that took hold of France from mid-May to June 5, 1968.
		The uprising was a failure in the minds of the radical French left (called 'gauchistes') whose goal was the overthrow of the de Gaulle government and establishment of socialism.
		Though these incidents are specific to France, the May 68 events are also part of a broader set of political and cultural factors that were sweeping across Europe, Asia, and North America in the sixties: a zeitgeist of social unrest and dissent, oppositional politics, and revolution.

	[No title]
		1968 and May in France As 1968 dawned, World War II had synchronized many cultural clocks; "revolutions of national liberation" had transformed China (1949), Cuba (1959), and Algeria (1962); and the "60's" were in full swing.
		France's uprising was born modestly as the "March 22 movement" at University of Paris's Nanterre campus.
		But when we remind ourselves of 1968 it is unclear whether these theories can explain that year's failure as a failure, since that would presume a social project of liberation that is in effect impossible if these theorists are right to look only to the past for the intelligibility of human actions, excluding the future.

	Situationist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Those following the political view would see the May 1968 uprisings as a logical outcome of the SI's dialectical approach: while savaging present day society, they sought a revolutionary society which would embody the positive tendencies of capitalist development.
		SI member René Viénet's 1968 book Enragés and Situationists in the Occupations Movement, France, May '68 gives an account of the involvement of the SI with the student group of Enragés and the occupation of the Sorbonne.
		The SI thus were first led to distinguish the situation from the mere artistic practice of the beat happening, and later identified it in historical events such as the Paris Commune or the Watts riots, and eventually not with partial insurrections, but with total revolution itself.

		This question was debated in France throughout May 1998 on television specials, during commemorative events and in extensive press coverage focussing on testimonies, oral history and even fiction written by the May '68 generation.
		Hence the May '68 slogans were replete with the vociferous chants and banners promoting the political heroes of the day: Ernesto Che Guevara, Fidel Castro and the Cuban guerrillas, Mao Tse Tung, Ho Chi Minh.
		Despite its militancy, May '68 slowly fizzled out in June, just as it had spontaneously erupted in May. Lacking a coherent political programme and strategy, and having failed to significantly mobilise the workers, the movement gradually lost its momentum and drive.

	What is poststructuralism? « ReadySteadyBook - a literary site
		The second emblem is the May 1968 revolutionary movement, with its spontaneity and lack of overarching ideological or organizational unity.
		May 1968 can be interpreted as showing that a different kind of resistance and revolution is possible: a revolution that works through different structures and bodies, opening them up to new possibilities free of set ideological directions and political logic.
		As an heir to 1968, poststructuralism advocates spontaneity, fluidity and openness in political movements of resistance; the revolution of the folding in of limits extends into revolutionary structures and goals.

	The Future of Iraq and the Middle East - The World and I Magazine
		As far as Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are concerned, they, too, have every interest in Saddam Hussein's removal, although, again, their rulers may be uneasy at the prospect of the emergence of some sort of democracy, however limited, in Iraq after he has gone.
		One of the names mentioned as a possible future head of state is Ibrahim al-Dawud, who was minister of defense for two weeks in July 1968, after which he was forced to leave the country; another is General Hasan al-Naqib, who has also been out of Iraq for many years.
		Although this may seem far-fetched, the present conjuncture, and the prospects that it has opened up, could well provide the means of restoring, or perhaps more accurately, of introducing even the most limited form of democracy into Iraq.

		Between 1968 and 1970, Sylvina Boissonnas, a young French heiress and patroness of the arts, financed the production of some fifteen films that would prove highly influential while remaining largely unknown outside of France.
		While the New Wave filmmakers had been in their late twenties and early thirties when they began filmmaking, the Zanzibar directors were younger (Philippe Garrel, one of the key figures, was just twenty) and were inspired by the heady spirit and times of May 1968.
		Shot in the aftermath of the uprisings of May 1968, the film reverberates with the rebellious spirit of that period.

	A Brief History of Horizontality \| varnelis.net
		May 1968 marked late capitalism's attainment of the world stage.
		The riots of May 1968 were so shocking because they came largely out of nowhere: not in conditions of deprivation and oppression, but rather in countries – particularly France - that were largely social democracies, possessing a nascent culture of affluence.
		May 1968 was not a rebellion to seize the means of production, but rather a last ditch attempt to regain control of everyday life – what one did outside the sphere of work – even as this was being utterly subsumed by capital.

	Guggenheim Collection - 1990s - Messager - My Vows
		Annette Messager embarked on her artistic career amid the tumultuous climate surrounding the May 1968 student uprisings in Paris.
		It was in this atmosphere of radicalism that she discovered that art could be found in the streets and in the tasks of everyday life, rather than solely within the cloistered realm of the museum.
		My Vows may also be understood in relation to Messager's Catholic heritage; the work resembles the assembled votive offerings left at pilgrimage sites by the faithful, which often include accumulations of handwritten notes or miniatures of ailing limbs for which cures are being sought.

	ART FOR A CHANGE - Posters from the Paris 1968 Uprising
		The posters of the Paris 1968 uprising comprise some of the most brilliant graphic works ever to have been associated with a social movement.
		On May 16th, art students, painters from outside the university, and striking workers decided to permanently occupy the art school in order to produce posters that would "Give concrete support to the great movement of the workers on strike who are occupying their factories in defiance of the Gaullist government."
		A great part of the Paris uprising was a rebellion against the trap of "alienated labor", and the student movement especially contributed to the notion that work must be something more than mere drudgery carried out for a paycheck.

		A short biography of Spanish anarchist Vicente Marti who fought in the resistance to Franco and was involved in the anarchist movement in France.
		It is neither a chronology of events, nor a record of the "leadership" role of one or another political sect, nor yet the discovery of some fashionable new dynamic of revolt in "neo-" or even "post-capitalism".
		Instead, it looks at the activities of the workers and students in May and June 1968 to discover in what way they were a response to the conditions of capitalist life today; what were their strengths and limitations and in what way they point to the possibilities of a new kind of society.
