France May ‘68

- A volatile period of revolutionary civir unrest

- General Strikes and occupations of factories and universities

- Spontaneous and wildcat

- Catalysed by student action at the Sorbonne, which was occupied and declared as an autonomous people’s university “open day and night, at all times, to all workers”.

- Anti- authoritarian and radical against disciplinary specialization and ‘education as initiationw’

- Egalite! Liberte! Sexualite

- Education for al and even student wages.

Jacques Ranciere - Proletatian Nights

Rancieres philosophy, collectively figured, could be interpreted as an attempt to figure out what happens when one refuses one’s ‘proper’ place in the established social order.

Picture on his book is questioning why the revolution failed.

Philosophers became poets and artists during the night.

The ignorant schoolmaster

-        Joseph Jacotat – teacher, exiled from post-revolutionary France in the Netherlands, working a job on half way.

-        His students couldn’t speak French – He couldn’t speak Flemish

-        His lessons were centered around a newly translated copy of Fenelons

-        His students read the original text alongside the translation and were left to figure out the differenced for themselves.

-        An accidental pedagogical experiment which led to the principals of ‘Universal Teaching’
