SUMMARY:May Made Me
DESCRIPTION:An oral history of the 1968 uprising in France\nWith author Mitch Abidor\nat New Perspectives Studio\n456-458 West 37th Street (near 10th Avenue)/Manhattan \nThe mass protests that shook France in May 1968 were exciting\, dangerous\, creative and influential\, changing European politics to this day. Students demonstrated\, workers went on general strike\, factories and universities were occupied. At the height of its momentum\, the protests brought the entire national economy to a halt. The protests reached such a point that the French and international bourgeoisie feared civil war or revolution. \nFifty years later\, here are the eye-opening oral testimonies of those young rebels. By listening to the voices of students and workers\, as opposed to those of their leaders\, May ’68 appears not just as a mass event\, but rather as an event driven by millions of individuals\, creating a mosaic human portrait of France at the time.  \nPublished on the 50th anniversary of those days in the spring of 68\, May Made Me presents the legacy of the uprising: how those explosive experiences changed the individuals who participated and their lives as lived since then. \nMitch Abidor is a translator from Brooklyn whose  many translations include A Socialist History of the French Revolution by Jean Jaurès and Anarchists Never Surrender and other works by Victor Serge.

SUMMARY:Sartre’s Search For A Method
DESCRIPTION:Five More Sessions with Dan Karan\nApril 25-May23\nA series within the Emergence of A New Left Programming \nJohn Paul Sartre was one of the most important radical intellectuals of the 20th century yet he is largely forgotten or ignored by most Marxists and others on “the left.” This\, despite the fact that as a philosopher\, playwright\, novelist\, essayist and political activist Sartre’s primary concerns surrounded questions of individual freedom\, choice and action (in his early career) and the relationship between individual freedom and collective good (in his later career) and developing a method for understanding history\, the structure of class struggle and the fate of mass movements and popular revolt. Ronald Hayman\, one of Sartre’s biographers\, summarizes Sartre’s intellectual project as follows: \n“As a Marxist he wanted to believe that dialectical materialism offered a complete interpretation of history – that all the contradictions\, conflicts\, heterogeneities\, anomalies could be subsumed in a single totalization. Sartre is simultaneously concerned to provide Marxism with an adequate theory of knowledge\, both Marx and Lenin had worked without one – and to combat the Heideggarian existentialism which consistently makes Being its point of departure. Sartre insists that history is the history of human initiatives. What emerges as the crucial problem is how to map the jungle of obscure connections between historical movements and individual actions.”  \nThis class will focus on Sartre’s 1957 text\, Search For A Method\, which reflects his growth from existentialist philosopher concerned with individual freedom to an anti-authoritarian existential Marxist who believed that individual freedom can only come about via one’s commitment to the collective good. Search for a Method consists of three major parts: The first part discusses Marxist and existentialist views of the world; the second\, how the individual relates to structures; and\, the third develops a methodology for understanding the individual\, history and structures. \nDan Karan has been studying Marxism for 40 years and was a student of John Gerassi\, Sartre’s official biographer.
