Abstract

Savage affinities is an essay which draws proximity lines concerning the protests of May 68 in France and of June 2013 in Brazil. A first draft of this essay was orally presented at the “Commemorative Cicle of May 68 - 50 years of uprisings”, in Ponta Grossa, Parana, Brazil, in 2018’s first semester. We propose a metalinguistic and political dialogue which arises from an ensemble of May 68 signs and the emergence of an unprecedented intellectual scenario that is currently acknowledged as French Theory. The key argument travels through a series of elective affinities among the French May and the Brazilian June, and discusses the various ways in which those uprisings transformed the role of intellectuals, their connection to the social and the political fields, the young characteristic of rebellions and its openness to the common ground of political struggles, reconfiguring notions as democracy, everyday life and the horizons of a collective future.
