Extends alienation theory from May '68 thinkers; leaves open empirical testing in contemporary contexts.
May ‘68 is the peak of a transformation within radical thought that followed the discovery of the nature of Stalinism and the difficulties of decolonization. If it finished with a series of socioeconomic reforms, it had started as a revolutionary movement that tried to implement what Jacques Rancière referred to as a theory of subversion that could not also serve the cause of oppression. This movement was also deeply influenced by transformations in theories of alienation that started at the end of the Second World War. This is studied here in the works of writers who looked at historical alienation from the point of view of mental alienation: Frantz Fanon, Isidore Isou and the Lettrists, and Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari.
