ABSTRACT Key to the influential idea of a “global Sixties” has been a rich scholarship addressing the global orientation and sensibility of student and youth movements in disparate locations and the connections between them. Research exploring the diffusion across national borders of radical ideas and strategies, however, has tended to focus on large, urban centers at the expense of rural and regional spaces. This article draws on a case study of student activism at the small, largely-residential University of New England in rural Armidale, New South Wales: a location apparently marginal to Australia’s – and the world’s – long Sixties. It argues that close attention to the particularism of activism on this tiny regional campus provides a potent illustration of the ways in which global ideas took root, not only in metropolitan centers but also in regions often assumed to be defined by relative isolation. Focusing on a recurring theme in the story of Sixties’ dissent – the relationship between the New Left and the counterculture – the article demonstrates how decentering the national story of Australian student activism also powerfully reinforces the global character of the Sixties.

反文化新左派“Down Under”：澳大利亚新英格兰大学的学生激进主义

摘要 “全球 60 年代”这一有影响力的想法的关键是丰富的奖学金，旨在解决不同地区学生和青年运动的全球定位和敏感性以及它们之间的联系。然而，探索激进思想和战略跨越国界传播的研究往往侧重于大型城市中心，而以牺牲农村和区域空间为代价。本文借鉴了位于新南威尔士州阿米代尔乡村的新英格兰小型大学学生激进主义的案例研究：该地区显然与澳大利亚 - 以及世界 - 漫长的 60 年代相比处于边缘地位。它认为，密切关注这个小小的区域性校园里激进主义的特殊性，提供了一个有力的例证，说明全球思想扎根的方式，不仅在大都市中心，而且在通常被认为是相对孤立的地区。关注 60 年代异议故事中反复出现的主题——新左派与反主流文化之间的关系——这篇文章展示了澳大利亚学生激进主义的全国性故事如何有力地强化了 60 年代的全球特征。
