May 68 in French Fiction and Film: Rethinking Society, Rethinking Representation (Oxford Studies in Modern European Culture) - Softcover
The uprising of May 1968, during which tanks rolled onto the streets of Paris, was a radically defining moment in French intellectual life. It signalled the rise of 'new wave' cinema and the arrival of the 'post structuralist' literary-philosophy of Derrida, Foucault, and others. This is the first book-length study of May '68 in French fiction and film.

Review:
`While some prior knowledge of the history and literature of contemporary France is necessary to appreciate the many strands of this book for their complex but clear analyses, the lively documentary style will give much pause for thought to those new to the fields covered. Books should make
one want to ask questions and find out more. This one certainly does as it brings together a gamut of ways of reading recent history and tests ways in which the myths, too, of May 68 may be re-evaluated.'
Mary Orr, MLR, 96.I, 2001
`Atack ... adds a valuable and well-informed retrospective to the plethora of scholarly and popular evaluations of the student's revolt of May '68 in France, and of its subsequent representation in French fiction and film.'
Y. Jehenson, Choice, Jul/Aug. 2000.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 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 politicalthriller, 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 toshow 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. May 1968 and its aftermath constitute a watershed in contemporary French history. France was brought to a standstill as over 10 million went on strike. Eight texts are chosen to present features of May 68 and its aftermath, and to highlight the importance of language, image, and spectacle in the cultural and intellectual history of this event.
