Beziehungsweise Revolution

In October 2017, the Russian Revolution will mark its 100th anniversary. This is a sufficient reason to examine the events of 1917 through the lens of 1968 and to establish a relationship of mutual critique between the two revolutions. While 1917 focused on the state, 1968 aimed at the individual. In the future, the focus should be on the "ways of relating" among people. The book analyzes revolutionary gender relations as those that are established between privacy and publicness, "close relationships" and "distant relationships" - the gender of the revolution. Thus, a desire emerges that still awaits realization: the desire for social ways of relating based on solidarity.
