On the Poverty of Student Life: Pamphlet



I stop by this historical publication, related somehow to our context and post it here in case someone didn't know about it:

"On the Poverty of Student Life: A Consideration of Its Economic, Political, Sexual, Psychological and Notably Intellectual Aspects and of a Few Ways to Cure it (French: De la misère en milieu étudiant) is a pamphlet first published by students of the University of Strasbourg and the Situationist International in 1966. Attacking the subservience of university students and the strategies of student radicals, it caused significant uproar, led to the dissemination of Situationist ideas and precipitated the events of May 1968 in France."

"The students promptly proceeded to print 10,000 copies of the pamphlet using university funds and distributed them during a ceremony marking the beginning of the academic year. This provoked an immediate outcry in the local, national and international media."
