Abstract:

October 26, 1966: At his inaugural lecture as professorial chair at the University of Strasbourg, the French cybernetician Abraham A. Moles was met not with applause but with tomatoes.1 Those responsible for the projectiles were members of the Situationist International (SI), the revolutionary avant-garde organization led by Guy Debord whose influence would color the uprisings of Mai 68. Taken together, these events can be seen as part of a continuum: while the SI later claimed the tomatoes to have been a preliminary action for their dissemination of On the Poverty of Student Life that fall, the subsequent media outcry over this pamphlet is still interpreted as a catalyst for the events of '68.

摘要：

1966 年 10 月 26 日：法国控制论专家亚伯拉罕·A·莫尔斯 (Abraham A. Moles) 在斯特拉斯堡大学担任教授主席的就职演讲中，受到的不是掌声，而是西红柿。1 负责射弹的人是情境主义国际 (SI) 的成员，由 Guy Debord 领导的革命先锋组织，其影响力为 Mai 68 的起义增添了色彩。总的来说，这些事件可以被视为一个连续体的一部分：而 SI 后来声称西红柿是其传播的初步行动那年秋天出版的《论学生生活的贫困》，随后媒体对这本小册子的强烈抗议仍然被解释为 68 年事件的催化剂。
