May 1968 and its aftermath constitute a watershed in contemporary French history. France was brought to a standstill as over 10 million went on strike, factories and campuses were occupied, and pitched battles were fought on the streets of Paris between riot police and students. Its roots were many and varied, its consequences equally diverse, but the slogans and images of May - utopia and spectacle, pure politics and pure play - gained mythic status as founding texts of a new cultural politics. This is the first book-length study of May 68 in French fiction and film. Eight texts, including works by Beauvoir, Cardinal, Godard, and Kristeva, are chosen to present major features of May and its aftermath, and to highlight the importance of language, image, and spectacle in the cultural and intellectual history of an extraordinary event.

This is a proclamation; no doubt about it, compiled by the awaited Imam, - Imam Mahdi.When I come to the world, I found that a lot of conjectures, doctrines and claims have been spread within the Muslim Ummah. Men had already claimed to be the Mahdi before the real one. A lot of claimants did take advantage of the status quo; the rulers were oppressing the people; or a political turmoil, conflict of ideas and religious and spiritual decadence were prevalent in the Muslim society. However, Imam Mahdi ("the Guided One") is none other than the Man-in-Y�-S�n whom the scholars had conjectured to be Habib-un Nadjdjar, despite the fact that the Man-in-Y�-S�n is the ONLY man whom Allah [swt] had divinely authorize to speak to the people in the Holy Qur'an, "a man" who is not a prophet at all, and would come after the prophet Muhammad [pbuh], the Messenger of Allah and the Khatam-an Nabieen.So, the concept of Habib-un Nadjdjar was just a plain shortsightedness. Similarly, a series of claimants, claiming to be the Mahdi was a clear example of misguidance misleading the people into misunderstanding ad-Deen al-Islam.
