1968 took place not only in Paris, but in a number of other places that came to light thanks to the enlargement of the notion of "source" by the inclusion of personal archives, neglected or specific colletions, secret files. These marginal scenes bring in other actors, the anonymous characters of this story. The light thrown upon the anonymous has brought to the core of historical discipline, and of social sciences at large, these faceless individuals. Its was as if History had been captured by the event, and a new kind of knowledge had emerged with it.
