What was 1968, what traces did it leave, did it win or lose its battles: these are questions to which this project tries to respond only indirectly, well aware of the complexity of the historical object and of the contradictions that assail its reconstruction.

In so many ways "contemporary", in so many others irremediably over, 1968 appears as a dense network of facts, ideas, pulsions that escape a common interpretation. One ’68, good for everyone, even just for those who took part in it, or believed that they did, is a spectre devoid of consistency. As for every great movement, strong is for everyone the temptation to distinguish the good from the bad, the authentic from the non-authentic, the memorable from the insignificant.
