Barr-Melej Publishes Essay on Chile and the ‘Global 1968’
在他最近发表的文章《newbb电子平台》中? Politics, Culture, and the Zeitgeist of ’68,” Dr. 帕特里克Barr-Melej, Professor of History and Interim Executive Director of the 国际研究中心, 作为《newbb电子》(圣母大学出版社)文集的一部分，他探索了1968年的智利, 2021). 集合, edited by James McAdams (Notre Dame) and Anthony Monta (Holy Cross College), features contributions by distinguished historians, 电影制作人, 音乐, 文学学者, 和小说家.
从墨西哥城到巴黎，甚至更远, 1968年发生了大规模的抗议活动, 政治暴力, 新值的断言, and explosions of artistic expression that together challenged dominant structures, 意识形态, 以及冷战时期的敏感性.
对于Barr-Melej, 的政治, 社会, and cultural history of Chile during Latin America’s “long 1960s” (1959–73), 古巴革命和军事政变终结了马克思主义总统萨尔瓦多·阿连德的“智利社会主义之路”,“提供了一个深入了解1968年和1968年现象的时代精神或精神的深刻视角。. 鉴于智利的某些行为者和事件反映了1968年的时代精神并对其作出了贡献, Barr-Melej坚持认为，将1968年转变为1968年的许多重要因素在美国的表现有所不同, 规模更小吗, 或者只是没有展开.
为了说明, Barr-Melej着眼于1967-68年的一场大学改革运动，该运动在中间派政府的领导下实现了其直接目标——这种情况与墨西哥城或巴黎的学生抗议者完全不同. And although 1968 saw bouts of unrest and conflict in the streets of Santiago, 通常是激进的年轻人与警察对抗, 这样的喷发是小而短暂的, did not significantly impede the rhythms of life in the capital or elsew在这里, 它们大多是政党和集团之间正在进行的辩论和立法斗争的产物, 他认为.
Barr-Melej指出，塑造智利1968年经历的一个关键因素是缺乏深刻而危险(或有希望)的改革, (取决于某人的位置)僵局感, 这是一个复杂的问题, contributing factor leading to 1968’s explosiveness in Paris, 墨西哥城, 以及其他情况. This was the case in Chile notwithstanding deep frustration voiced by workers, 各种学生和青年团体, 还有其他选区, especially on the more radical (and radicalizing) Left, regarding systemic elements of the country’s political culture and socioeconomic architecture.
“民主和多元化的特质构成了左翼政党几十年来认真参与的选举环境, Chile’s pre-1973 political culture afforded space, 尽管竞争激烈, for the rise and development of radical politics, 包括年轻人,Barr-Melej解释道.
自20世纪20年代以来, political democratization was interrupted in just a few instances, like the banning of the Communist Party from the late ‘40s to the late ‘50s. 一般来说, Chile’s political culture since the 1930s essentially had provided a mechanism—a pressure valve, let’s say—that channeled postwar revolutionary energies into mainstream politics, 直到20世纪70年代早期都是如此. We don’t see this in France or Mexico on the eve of ’68, for example.”
The essay is partially connected to Barr-Melej的最新著作， 迷幻的智利:青春, 反主流文化, and Politics on the Road to Socialism and Dictatorship (University of North Carolina Press, 2017), which has drawn considerable attention and acclaim in Chile. In 2017, Psychedelic Chile was named a “Book to Highlight” by the high-circulation Santiago newspaper La Tercera.

Jara, who was murdered by the emergent military regime of Gen. 1973年的奥古斯托·皮诺切特, was a revolutionary activist and key figure in Chile’s Nueva Canción (New Song) movement, known for its strongly folkloric rhythms and lyrics that spoke of and to the working class and poor. While remembered and still celebrated internationally for his folk music and Marxist credentials, Jara’s musical tastes and friendships were more complex than many assume today, Barr-Melej在Rockaxis中解释道.
