Representations of May ’68 in French Memory

The 1968 Lesévénements (events) are fully embodied in the collective memories of French society. He published over 100 books, reviews past significance and importance of France, and made more discussions. There is no doubt that it is difficult for many activists at the time to understand what that means, and even what they mean today. Daniel A. Gordon, Robert Gildea, and Bertram Gordon have summarized various ideas and various perspectives in 1968.

In France, the left called May 68th as sports. The right side is called an event. Many people remember that it is the transformation and turning point of French society. May 68 shows a combination of a set of challenges to the established postwar order, but few people speak of the revolution today. Today, in my opinion, extreme parts of the population (students, workers, intellectuals) do not have enough power to carry out their progressive and wise thinking. It will be a real police force

Sylvia Harvey's "August and June Film Culture" and the movie culture studied the influence of huge political events on the aesthetics and practice of the movie. For 'Langloe Incident', the French cinema may be specially prepared in May of May 68. In February 1968, the government suddenly expelled Henri Langlois from the position as the director of the movie library. Immediately the group of 1,500 people started screening outside the cinema, intellectuals and celebrities began to support Langlois. The protests continued in March, Cahiers du Cinema made a special insertion into this controversy. In April, the film archive lost funds for film protection, but Langlois got his position. According to Harvey, Langlois Affair is not just trying to protest for the first time in many movie theaters. . . We aim not to defend our freedom of liberty but to put movie equipment into the service of the working class. "
