STUDENT'S MOVEMENTS OF 1968 – UNFINISHED
REVOLUTION
Milan Petrović
Faculty of Law, University of Niš, Serbia
This study first defines the concepts of the "left" and the "right" as
political phenomena. Then, after touching upon the student and black movement
in the United States of America, it presents the basic features and development
of student movements in the Federal Republic of Germany and France in the
late 1960s. Most of the study is dedicated to the revolutionary commotion
at Belgrade University in 1968, in which the author of this study personally
participated. In a fully new way, the text interprets the activities of
the Yugoslav President Tito and a group of professors and teaching assistants
from Belgrade Faculty of Philosophy gathered around the journal "Praxis"
("The Praxis Group") during this commotion. The study also provides a contribution
to the theory of revolution.
Key words: the "left" and "right", student movements, revolution
as a social contract, revolutionary leader.
STUDENTSKI POKRETI 1968. – NEDOVRŠENA
REVOLUCIJA
Ova studija najpre utvrđuje pojmove "levice" i "desnice"
kao političkih fenomena. Potom, pošto se dotakla studentskih i crnačkih
pokreta u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama, ona izlaže osnovne osobine
i razvoj studentskih pokreta u SR Nemačkoj i Francuskoj kasnih 1960-ih
godina. Najveći deo studije posvećen je studentskim revolucionarnim gibanjima
na Beogradskom univerzitetu 1968. godine, čiji je neposredni učesnik
bio i pisac ove studije. Na sasvim nov način u njoj se tumači delovanje
jugoslovenskoga predsednika Tita i grupe profesora i asistenata beogradskoga
Filozofskog fakulteta okupljenih oko časopisa "Praxis" ("praksisovaca")
u tim gibanjima. Studija je takođe prilog teoriji revolucija.
Ključne reči: "levica" i "desnica",
studentski pokreti, revolucija kao društveni ugovor, revolucionarni vođa.
