GRACIA LANDAETA, Oscar  e  MIRANDA BASCOPE, Christian. May 68: a Reinterpretation of its Political Significance. Rev Cien Cult [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.40, pp.31-54. ISSN 2077-3323.

The article interprets the political significance of the May 1968 conflict in Paris by contesting the legitimacy of traditional readings on this event. Thus, based on the political theory of Hannah Arendt and Kristin Ross's reflections on the student-worker movement, it proposes that "May 68" had a unique political value which transcends the determination of its "failure" as a revolution. This proposition supposes, simultaneously, questioning the narratives and representations from which the structure of power in the modern state are usually conceived. In the experiences of concerted political action, self-management and "participatory democracy", the French 68 revitalizes the understanding of elementary political phenomena such as authority or popular consent.
