| Title | CENTRAL EUROPEAN EMIGRE RESPONSE TO MAY '68 EVENTS IN PARIS |
| Summary | This thesis investigates into public activity of Central European émigré communities in Paris. The study is focused on exiles’ response to events of May ’68 in French capital. The analysis of their account of the biggest strike in history demonstrates specific features of their political and intellectual agenda. The study is undertaken in the field of exile studies, within the framework of generational approach and belongs to the genre of intellectual history. It deals with the problem of establishing connection between immediate émigré responses on burning events and their political activity and relevant intellectual representations. A case-study on Piotr Rawicz’s book ‘The Notebook of Counter—revolutionary or the Hangover’ allows connecting individual émigré’s trajectory to a collective one. The novelty of the thesis lies in the fact that it proposes synthesized picture of political and intellectual activity of the emigrants, diversifies existing large-scale image of their associative life, treats rare émigré printed editions and introduces new perspective into the picture of exiles’-French dialogue within the larger ‘Cold war’ framework. |
