  • '68 to Nuit Debout: Shifting Perspectives on France's Anti-Police
    From mai-juin ’68 to Nuit Debout: Shifting perspectives on France’s anti-police Chris Reynolds, Nottingham Trent University Abstract In the great drama that was mai-juin 1968, the police were unquestionably a central actor. In particular, they played a pivotal role in transforming what started out as a relatively minor, student-based rebellion into a nationwide movement that brought the Gaullist regime to the brink of collapse. The 2016 Nuit Debout protest movement drew strong comparisons to the 1968 events with many wondering if France stood to experience a repeat of those heady days. This article will argue that the inability of Nuit Debout to capture the imagination of the general public in a similar fashion to what happened in 1968 is not solely the result of the exceptional and divergent contexts. Instead, it will contend that this failure is also to be understood through an appreciation of shifting perspectives on France’s anti-police. Such positive developments, it will be argued, have ironically been shaped as a result of the 1968 events and the manner with which they are most commonly remembered. La police était un acteur indéniablement principal dans les événements de mai-juin 1968 en France. En particulier, ils ont joué un rôle critique dans la transformation d’une crise étudiante, relativement mineur, en un mouvement national qui a poussée le régime gaulliste jusqu’au bord du gouffre. Le mouvement Nuit Debout de 2016 a été très souvent comparé aux événements de 1968 avec beaucoup qui se demandaient si la France risquait une répétition de cette crise phare.

  • Serious Play: Formal Innovation and Politics in French Literature from the 1950S to the Present
    Serious Play: Formal Innovation and Politics in French Literature from the 1950s to the Present by Aubrey Ann Gabel A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in French in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Michael Lucey, Chair Professor Debarati Sanyal Professor C.D. Blanton Professor Mairi McLaughlin Summer 2017 Abstract Serious Play: Formal Innovation and Politics in French Literature from the 1950s to the Present By Aubrey Ann Gabel Doctor of Philosophy in French University of California, Berkeley Professor Michael Lucey, Chair Serious Play: Formal Innovation and Politics in French literature from the 1950s to the present investigates how 20th- and 21st-century French authors play with literary form as a means of engaging with contemporary history and politics. Authors like Georges Perec, Monique Wittig, and Jacques Jouet often treat the practice of writing like a game with fixed rules, imposing constraints on when, where, or how they write. They play with literary form by eliminating letters and pronouns; by using only certain genders, or by writing in specific times and spaces. While such alterations of the French language may appear strange or even trivial, by experimenting with new language systems, these authors probe into how political subjects—both individual and collective—are formed in language. The meticulous way in which they approach form challenges unspoken assumptions about which cultural practices are granted political authority and by whom. This investigation is grounded in specific historical circumstances: the student worker- strike of May ’68 and the Algerian War, the rise of and competition between early feminist collectives, and the failure of communism and the rise of the right-wing extremism in 21st-century France.

    PHOTOACTIVISM: POLITICAL ICONOGRAPHY IN FRANCE, 1944-1968 Nir Avissar Tel Aviv, Israel Master of Arts, Tel Aviv University, 2008 Bachelor of Arts. Tel Aviv University, 2005 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia July, 2016 © 2016 Nir Avissar Abstract The aim of this dissertation is to provide a critical history of French reportage photography in the decades following the Second World War, beginning with the Liberation in 1944 and ending in May ’68. During the Trente Glorieuses, reportage photography became an integral part of the media, which operated as the central platform for engaging the public in political discourse. My research explores how, during this era of mass communication, the photographic medium participated in the nation’s political life in concrete historical circumstances. In the course of this investigation, I inspect both the material, thematic, and formal strategies photographers employed to produce images in different political contexts, and the publication history of their works (who published their images, in what format, and for what purposes). The dissertation thus examines the role reportage photography played in promoting political discourse in France by visually engaging the most critical historical processes the nation was undergoing: modernization, democratization, and decolonization. At the same time, it also analyzes the reciprocal impact that changing political climate had on reportage photography. Specifically, it provides an historical account of the multiple causes that effected during the 1960s the displacement of humanist photography by photojournalism as the medium’s prominent current.

  • Maintaining Law and Order
    MAINTAINING LAW AND ORDER: AT WHAT COST? SUMMARY OF THE REPORT ON DEVELOPMENTS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT PRACTICES IN FRANCE AND THEIR IMPACT ON PERSONAL FREEDOMS SUMMARY OF THE REPORT - MAINTAINING LAW AND ORDER: AT WHAT COST? 3 A YEAR-LONG INVESTIGATION For several years, ACAT (Action by Christians for the Abolition of Torture) has been looking at the use of force by the French police and gendarmes and at the access to justice for victims of unlawful violence. In a first report published in 2016, ACAT was already examining the subject of law enforcement operations. Observing that changing practices sparked discussions, ACAT continued its inquiry by producing various analysis reports. The handling of the Gilets jaunes1 (yellow vest) demonstrations and the numerous debates about the use of force deployed during the protests reinforced the organisation’s initial analyses. ACAT then launched an important investigation aimed at questioning the role and choices of law enforcement authorities since the early 2000s. From November 2018 to January 2020, ACAT carried out a careful analysis of the available documentation on the subject in order to update and deepen its previous analyses. As part of this investigation, ACAT has always sought to expand its sources of information. Numerous documents have thus been studied and used, such as institutional and parliamentary reports; papers written by organisations; sociological and medical studies; court decisions; and newspaper articles. ACAT has also met with a very wide range of individuals concerned with law enforcement issues: victims, lawyers, law enforcement officers and authorities, researchers, and representatives of the Défenseur des droits (Defender of Rights).

  • The Personnel of the French Occupation in Germany After 1945
    Contemporary European History (2019), 28, 31944–341 doi:10.1017/S0960777318000462 ARTICLE Vichy in Baden-Baden – The Personnel of the French Occupation in Germany after 1945 Julia Wambach* Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Center for the History of Emotions, Lentzeallee 94, 14195 Berlin, Germany *[email protected] This article examines the contested presence of Vichy administrators in high positions of the French administration of occupied Germany after the Second World War. In occupied Germany, where many of Pétain’s officials pursued their careers, resisters and collaborators negotiated their new positions in the wake of the German occupation of France. Key to understanding this settlement are the notions of expertise and merit as well as the role of the inherited French social order untouched by the collaboration. ‘The French administration in Germany is full of survivors of Vichy’, ran the headline of the French communist newspaper Ce Soir on 16 November 1945.1 Part of a longer reportage entitled ‘The failure of Baden-Baden’, this article was far from the only one that uncovered the peculiar situation of the personnel in the capital of the French occupation zone in Germany in autumn 1945. Indeed, all major left-wing newspapers in France were outraged by the surprisingly large number of former Vichy officials employed in French-occupied Germany: Combat, Le Monde, Front National, Temps Présent, Nouvelles de France, Ordre and Résistance all discussed the topic over the course of the first three weeks of November 1945.2 Most of the articles were travelogues by journalists who had visited the zone and informed their readers back home about the simi- larities between the two spa towns: Vichy, the capital of Marshal Pétain’s collaborationist French State, and Baden-Baden, the capital of the French zone of occupation in Germany.3 The jour- nalists picked up nicknames for the capital of the French zone circulating in the city itself and shared them with their readers in France.

  • Chris Reynolds, 1968 : a Contested History
    International Web Journal www.sens-public.org May 68 : A Contested History CHRIS REYNOLDS Abstract: In spite of the unprecedented amount of literature that has been produced on the events of May 1968 in France during the last forty or so years, many questions still remain. Whether one considers the events themselves, their consequences, interpretations or explanations, it is quite difficult, if not impossible, to find real consensus. This article will detail how, whilst agreement has been reached on many important areas, others remain open to debate and interpretation. It suggests that this lack of consensus amongst experts has affected the way the events are perceived today. It will be concluded that these lingering question marks have been a contributing factor in the continued debate surrounding 1968 as well as having been influential in the emergence of what Kristin Ross has defined as the ‘official history’ of May 68. Keywords: May 68 ; Official History ; Kristin Ross ; Consensus ; 40th Anniversary ; CRS ; De Gaulle ; Pompidou ; Baden Baden ; Grenelle Résumé: Malgré la pléthore du matériel consacrée à l’analyse des événements de mai 68 en France, il reste – presque quarante ans plus tard – un grand débat sur plusieurs thèmes. Que ce soit les événements eux-mêmes, les conséquences, ou l’héritage, il est difficile, voire impossible, de trouver un consensus. Bien que les analystes soient d’accord sur la plupart des grandes lignes, d’autres questions importantes n’ont pas été vraiment résolues. Cet article suggérera que le manque de consensus parmi les experts a influencé la façon dans laquelle la crise de 68 est perçue aujourd’hui.

  • Militant Protest and Practices of the State in France and the Federal Republic of Germany, 1968-1977
    Under the Paving Stones: Militant Protest and Practices of the State in France and the Federal Republic of Germany, 1968-1977 Luca Provenzano Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 Luca Provenzano All Rights Reserved Abstract Under the Paving Stones: Militant Protest and Practices of the State in France and the Federal Republic of Germany, 1968-1977 This dissertation investigates the protest cultures of social revolutionary groups during and after the events of 1968 in France and West Germany before inquiring into how political officials and police responded to the difficulties of maintaining public order. The events of 1968 led revolutionaries in both France and West Germany to adopt new justifications for militant action based in heterodox Marxism and anti-colonial theory, and to attempt to institutionalize new, confrontational modes of public protest that borrowed ways of knowing urban space, tactics, and materials from both the working class and armed guerrilla movements. Self-identifying revolutionaries and left intellectuals also institutionalized forums for the investigation of police interventions in protests on the basis of testimonies, photography, and art. These investigative committees regularly aimed to exploit the resonance of police violence to promote further cycles of politicization. In response, political officials and police sought after 1968 to introduce and to reinforce less ostentatious, allegedly less harmful means of crowd control and dispersion that could inflict suffering without reproducing the spectacle of mass baton assaults and direct physical confrontations—means of physical constraint less susceptible to unveiling as violence.

  • Theatricality and French Cinema : the Films of Jacques Rivette
    THEATRICALITY AND FRENCH CINEMA: THE FILMS OF JACQUES RIVETTE By MARY M. WILES A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2002 Copyright 2002 by Mary M. Wiles ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation would not have come to fruition without the concern and support of many people. I wish to express my sincerest thanks to my advisor, Maureen Turim, whose intellectual guidance and firm belief in this project made its completion possible. Any intellectual rigor that this project possesses is due to her vigilance. Her exhaustive knowledge of French theater, continental film and literary theory, and film history' provided the touchstone of this project; her open and receptive spirit allowed me the freedom to stage my own ideas. Her constant presence in my life as a feminist, a film scholar, and a most demanding editor was critical to my personal and professional growth. I would also like to thank the members of my supervisory committee, who contributed to the development of this dissertation in numerous w'ays: Robert Ray for his dynamic teaching style in his course, “Taylorism, Metaphysics, and the Movies,” and for his scholarly advice, which has been of great help in my professional growth; Scott Nygren for his acute intelligence and warm encouragement; Susan Hegeman for her untiring support and constructive comments; and finally, Nora Alter, whose knowledge of theories of theater gave me fresh insight and imbued me with a new energy at the final stage of the dissertation.
