Student leaders, or so most people remember, were constantly producing convoluted manifestos that combined Marxism, psychoanalysis, and theories about Third World liberation struggles. What is easily forgotten is that even the most theory-eager leaders of the time understood that ultimately, the protest movements that helped to define 1968 didn’t come out of seminar-room discussions.
1968年运动浓厚的理论色彩尽人皆知。至少在多数人的记忆当中，学生领袖不断创造出融马克思主义、精神分析学和第三世界解放斗争理论为一体的令人费解的宣言理论。人们容易忘记的是即使是当时最热衷于理论的领导人也清楚归根结底，定义1968年革命的抗议运动绝不是会议室讨论的结果。
