Michel Foucault, Jean-Paul Sartre, Julia Kristeva, Phillipe Sollers, and Jean-Luc Godard. During the 1960s, a who's who of French thinkers, writers, and artists, spurred by China's Cultural Revolution, were seized with a fascination for Maoism. Combining a merciless exposé of left-wing political folly and cross-cultural misunderstanding with a spirited defense of the 1960s, The Wind from the East tells the colorful story of this legendary period in France. Richard Wolin shows how French students and intellectuals, inspired by their perceptions of the Cultural Revolution, and motivated by utopian hopes, incited grassroots social movements and reinvigorated French civic and cultural life.
Wolin's riveting narrative reveals that Maoism's allure among France's best and brightest actually had little to do with a real understanding of Chinese politics. Instead, it paradoxically served as a vehicle for an emancipatory transformation of French society. French student leftists took up the trope of "cultural revolution," applying it to their criticisms of everyday life. Wolin examines how Maoism captured the imaginations of France's leading cultural figures, influencing Sartre's "perfect Maoist moment"; Foucault's conception of power; Sollers's chic, leftist intellectual journal Tel Quel; as well as Kristeva's book on Chinese women--which included a vigorous defense of foot-binding.
Recounting the cultural and political odyssey of French students and intellectuals in the 1960s, The Wind from the East illustrates how the Maoist phenomenon unexpectedly sparked a democratic political sea change in France.

“法蘭西—1968”,彼地彼時已在當代曆史的牆垣上鎸刻下深深的印痕:對於追慕者,那一年五月天的學生遊行代錶著青春與夢想的美好年華,是一代人關於自由、和平、反帝國主義和文化理想的激情噴湧;之於批判者,那些誘人的詞語不過是冠冕堂皇的僞裝,掩蓋著文化、理性與原...
評分這本書反復將共産主義和人道主義對立,比如說福柯領悟到人道主義更為重要,由此脫離左派運動等等。 這種對立貌似很有道理,但實際上法國左派運動號召知識分子進工廠做工等等,這也應當被視作某種人道主義行為吧。 我認為共産主義跟人道主義有不少重疊交叉地方。 作者假如要把兩...
評分中肯的評價:這本挺難讀的。斷斷續續,分瞭兩三口氣纔看完。人名一堆,理論一堆,信手拈來,往往隻提幾個關鍵人名、概念,甚至大量的隱喻和麯筆。作者是基於對法國理論有一定瞭解基礎的口吻在闡述,嗯,是的,也就是說默認讀者對法國理論和五月風暴瞭解不止一星半點,看過大量相...

嗯,反正讀起來還挺開心的,價值如何不知道
評分(之前的不小心刪瞭)作者的主要觀點在introduction,大概是五月風暴雖然宏觀上對zz沒有太大影響,但卻改變瞭人們,特彆是學生、學者,的身份認同與zz參與觀念(與lived experience有關)。雖然說五月風暴的發起者們都以毛主義者自居,但是所謂“毛主義”更多地與批判法國現狀、錶達政治訴求有關,與中國本身並沒有太大的關係,隻是self-flegellating的知識分子們藉中國名義與自己的“bourgeosis intellectual”身份劃清界綫罷瞭。
評分老生常談瞭
評分有種讀得莫名其妙的感覺
