Transformation of Universities, Transformation of Student Movements While 1968 is considered the “International Year of Students,” the student movements of the long '68, which adopted a new repertoire of collective action and organization have to be understood against the backdrop of wider university transformation. The increase in student numbers was not the same across countries and continents. This massification thus had a different impact depending on national political contexts.

To Be A Conservative Student in 1960s California While both the scholarly literature and collective memory of the long 60s continue to focus on the student New Left, antiwar, and Black power protest, many students of that era were conservative. Taking California campuses as a case study, this article examines the specifics of this conservative student movement. Indeed, conservative students did not only mobilize in opposition to the New Left, but also contributed to the making of a conservative youth culture.

« Dialoguer, c'est se faire fourrer » or the Death of the Quebecois Student Movement Three periods characterize the rise of student militancy in Quebec in the 1960s: the decade began with division when a series of groups acting in the midst of political indifference in a milieu where the dominant feeling was less anger than boredom. Then, in an attempt to respond to such carelessness, student unionism radicalized over the course of the 1960s. Finally, in the late 1960s, large unions disappeared and the majority of student associations were dissolved. This short and restless parenthesis in the history of the student was closed.

THE PORTUGUESE STUDENT MOVEMENT: MOBILIZING IN A DICTATORSHIP 1969 was a turning year for the Portuguese student movement operating in a dictatorship. The colonial war created mobilization. The French, Italian and German 68 protest movements contributed to politicize the movement first in Lisbon, then in Coimbra, which had been until then more “traditional,” as well as for the Portuguese in exile, notably in Paris. The fall of the dictatorship on April 25, 1974 ushered in a new era, with students becoming involved as actors of change until the “de-ideologization” of the 1980s.

“Cité en lutte !” Cultural Transfers and Reappropriations of the Paris Uprisings at the Cité Internationale This contribution examines the specific practices of demands and forms of supervision, and even repression, of the student population residing at the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris during the long '68s. This article shows that this social space inhabited by a majority of foreign students served both as a sounding board of the Paris revolts and as a key place for re-exporting the Paris protest.

How the Long '68 Have Affected the Hellenic Foundation Based on archival material and oral testimonies, this article examines how the administration of the Hellenic Foundation of the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris reacted to the politicization of Greek students, from the early sixties to the dictatorship. Their activity, marked by both the 1968 occupation and the 1973 mobilizations, echoed the situation in Greece, while participating in the student movement in France.

SUBVERSION AND DISORDER: THE HOUSE OF BRAZIL AS VIEWED BY BRAZILIAN MILITARY OFFICIALS The House of Brazil and its students were involved in the French May 68. How did the military in power in Brazil view these events, and how did they try to control the situation from a distance? Using both Brazilian and French archives, this article sheds new light on the problems raised by the challenge of managing a House dependent on the Brazilian government, while located on French territory.

The Occupation of the Argentinian House at the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris From May to July 1968, the House of Argentina at the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris (CIUP) was occupied by a group of Argentines, mostly artists, who lash out at the ruling military regime in Argentina and reproduced in the Casa Argentina the political mobilizations taking place in their home country, especially among artists. Triggered by other events in Paris, this occupation constituted an irruption of the Argentine social movement in May 68 in France.

« May » in Africa Only recently have scholars started to examine African student movements. The case of the Senegalese May 68 is the most well known example. The book Etudiants africains en mouvements: contribution à une histoire des années 68, based on papers presented at an international conference in 2015, presents other student movements that developed between 1960 and 1980 in 11 mostly French-speaking countries, as well as in a few Anglophone ones.

THE RECEPTION OF THE FRENCH MAY 68 EVENTS: 1917 AND 1968 AS VIEWED BY YOUNG RUSSIANS TODAY This research is devoted to the reception of the 1968 French events in Russia. It is based on a series of interviews with young Russians conducted over the past few years. It argues that the symbolic power of May 1968 makes a transfer possible between the symbolic meaning of 1917 Revolution and a crucial moment for the emergence of new forms of self-identification among the Russian protest youth.

THE 1960S STUDENT MOVEMENTS IN THE WORLD... TOWARDS AN ATLAS OF RESOURCES? What is left of student movements that developed across the world in the 1960s? How should we keep and valorize these records?

1968 FIFTY YEARS LATER... La contemporaine is one of the main private archival centers on the long 1960s in France and in the world. It has largely contributed to enriching collections on a variety of topics and formats: records, leaflets, newspapers, drawings, photographs, posters, personal papers of scholars, audiovisual funds. Library, museum, archives, La contemporaine is thus a major contributor to historical research.

What the Cimade did during the events In 1968, the Cimade first got involved with people affected by the events, whether it was people wounded during the Latin Quarter clashes, or immigrant populations in Paris and in the provinces. It also sought to raise public awareness of the fate of foreigners deported for taking part in the demonstrations. For the Cimade volunteers, this period produced multiple contacts which enriched their reflections and views. At the same time, questions arose within the association that had a lasting impact.

THE LONG '68: FROM THE BDIC TO LA CONTEMPORAINE. DOCUMENTARY COLLECTION, CONTRIBUTION TO RESEARCH AND DISSEMINATION OF KNOWLEDGE Twenty years after the “events” of 1968, the BDIC, which was recently renamed La contemporaine, was already holding rich collections when it organized its 1988 exhibition. With its work based on extended documentary collection and a research agenda carried out in partnership with a series of institutions and social scientists, the BDIC has since brought, with the 1998 symposium, the 2010 virtual exhibition, and several publications, a significant contribution to the historical knowledge of the long ‘68.
