Rethinking the interpretations and memories of 1968

Abstract

The article analyzes how the interpretations and memories of the events of 1968 are transformed during their decimal celebrations. It is based on the qualitative analysis of the History of the Present Time, addressing the Memory Policies around the meanings that those events have gained over its 50 years, both by its interpreters and by the protagonists. It is argued that the wide range of studies valued their subjects and conflicts, opening a huge range of interpretations, which guide 1968 through the present time, renewing their memories. It concludes by discussing memorialist lines on collective actors and new reports by protagonists, which allow reinterpretations of 1968, in its fifties, explaining its dialogue with current political identities.
