“Taken together, the volume’s articles contribute new scholarship to the research on 1968.

Description

The year “1968” marked the climax of protests that simultaneously captured most industrialized Western countries. The protesters challenged the institutions of Western democracies, confronting powerful, established parties and groups with an opposing force and public presence that negated tra­ditional structures of institutional authority and criticized the basic assump­tions of the post-war order. Exploring the effects the protest movement of 1968 had on the political, social, and symbolic order of the societies they called into question, this volume focuses on the consequences and echoes of 1968 from different perspectives, including history, sociology, and linguistics.

Ingrid Gilcher-Holtey, Professor of Contemporary History at Bielefeld University, is an associated member of the Centre de Sociologie Européenne (CSE/EHESS-Paris). She was visiting professor at Sciences Po, Paris, 1999-2000 as well at St Antony’s College, Oxford, 2008-2009. Her main publications include 1968. Eine Zeitreise (Suhrkamp 2008).
