Abstract: The French student-worker uprising of 1968 opened up a crack in prevailing conceptions of reality, undermining traditional

("Jonah who will be 25 in the year 2000") draw on these insights as they maneuver in a society that denies class conflict.

Abstract: This production history of "Tabu" outlines the determining effect of personal, organizational, economic, and other factors
on the final form of the film, in order to demonstrate that "Tabu" is not the inscription of a single personality.
