Students demonstrated\, workers went on general strike\, factories and universities were occupied. At the height of its momentum\, the protests brought the entire national economy to a halt. The protests reached such a point that the French and international bourgeoisie feared civil war or revolution. \nFifty years later\, here are the eye-opening oral testimonies of those young rebels. By listening to the voices of students and workers\, as opposed to those of their leaders\, May ’68 appears not just as a mass event\, but rather as an event driven by millions of individuals\, creating a mosaic human portrait of France at the time. \nPublished on the 50th anniversary of those days in the spring of 68\, May Made Me presents the legacy of the uprising: how those explosive experiences changed the individuals who participated and their lives as lived since then. \nMitch Abidor is a translator from Brooklyn whose many translations include A Socialist History of the French Revolution by Jean Jaurès and Anarchists Never Surrender and other works by Victor Serge.

We will examine these successive revolutions chronologically through the eyes of both radical historians and novelists. \nWhen considering the Sans Culottes and the French Revolution we will look at this first great revolution from the point of view\, not of the “great men” who led it\, but of the popular classes that made it and tried to ensure that it met the needs of the French people. Their role on the great events — the taking of the Bastille\, the September \nMassacres among others — will be examined using Kropotkin’s The Great French Revolution as the source text\, as well as excerpts from the soon to be published translation of Jean Jaures’ A Socialist History of the French Revolution. The French Revolution was the first popular uprising to run out of steam and regress\, and we will read Anatole France’s novel The Gods are Thirsty to examine these phenomena. \nWe will then read novels by Stendhal\, Balzac and others while concurrently reading Marx’s major writings on France\, Class Struggles in France\, The 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte and The Civil War in France. Other contemporary accounts of the revolutionary waves of France in the 19th century will be consulted. \nMITCH ABIDOR is the translator of several books\, including the forthcoming edition of Jean Jaures’ A Socialist History of the French Revolution and Emmanuel Bove’s novella A Raskolonikov and the author of Communards: The Paris Commune of 1871 as Told by Those Who Fought for It. \nCRAIG CHISHOLM is a poet and editor at Gigantic Sequins. He has been a key participant in ongoing workshops on the relationship of literature to revolutionary movements and has just completed a summer of reviewing literary works as they related to World War I. \nRICHARD GREEMAN is a Marxist scholar long active in environmental and labor struggles\, splits his time between France and New York City. He is best known for his studies and translations of the novelist and revolutionary Victor Serge (1890–1947). \nSuggested tuition: $95 / $125 • No one turned away for inability to pay URL:https://marxedproject.net/event/the-long-french-revolution-in-literature-and-life-1789-1871/2014-09-29/ CATEGORIES:Classes/Events,Multi-session Classes,Revolutions Study Group ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://marxedproject.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Screen-Shot-2014-10-25-at-3.35.00-PM.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
