Mai et juin 1968 : un cahier photographique

Abstract

This photographic notebook features professional and amateur photographs - commented by sociologists and non-sociologists alike – in a rigorous bid to organise the memories and realities of the social turbulence that France witnessed in May and June 1968. The upheavals experienced during these months went beyond Paris to affect all different sectors and parts of society, sometimes in forms and pursuing a logic characterised by a surprising amount of collective solidarity. The notebook does not claim to be exhaustive but offers a partial demonstration of how 50 years on photography and sociology help account for one of the 20th century’s most important events.
