In this essay I argue May ‘68 was (1) in its way an anticolonial revolution, since it was directed against a President and government that had been imposed on France ten years previously by the colons of Algeria; (2) the visible staging of an epistemological break that has marked the contemporary era in which the grounds of knowledge have been switched from history to the spatialized present, from western epistemology based on the linearity of script to the spatialized iconic mode of the image, from diachronic to synchronic forms of understanding.

1968年5月：非殖民革命带来非殖民时代的未来

在这篇文章中，我认为68年5月是（1）从某种意义上来说是一场反殖民革命，因为它针对的是十年前阿尔及利亚殖民地强加给法国的总统和政府；（2）认识论突破的可见阶段，标志着当代时代，在这个时代，知识的基础已经从历史转向空间化的现在，从基于脚本线性的西方认识论转向图像的空间化标志性模式，从历时到共时的理解形式。
