How Maoism Captured The Imagination Of French Intellectuals During The 1960Smichel Foucault, Jeanpaul Sartre, Julia Kristeva, Phillipe Sollers, And Jeanluc Godard. During The 1960S, A Who'S Who Of French Thinkers, Writers, And Artists, Spurred By China'S Cultural Revolution, Were Seized With A Fascination For Maoism. Combining A Merciless Expos Of Leftwing Political Folly And Crosscultural Misunderstanding With A Spirited Defense Of The 1960S, The Wind From The East Tells The Colorful Story Of This Legendary Period In France. Richard Wolin Shows How French Students And Intellectuals, Inspired By Their Perceptions Of The Cultural Revolution, And Motivated By Utopian Hopes, Incited Grassroots Social Movements And Reinvigorated French Civic And Cultural Life.Wolin'S Riveting Narrative Reveals That Maoism'S Allure Among France'S Best And Brightest Actually Had Little To Do With A Real Understanding Of Chinese Politics. Instead, It Paradoxically Served As A Vehicle For An Emancipatory Transformation Of French Society. French Student Leftists Took Up The Trope Of 'Cultural Revolution,' Applying It To Their Criticisms Of Everyday Life. Wolin Examines How Maoism Captured The Imaginations Of France'S Leading Cultural Figures, Influencing Sartre'S 'Perfect Maoist Moment'; Foucault'S Conception Of Power; Sollers'S Chic, Leftist Intellectual Journal Tel Quel; As Well As Kristeva'S Book On Chinese Womenwhich Included A Vigorous Defense Of Footbinding.Recounting The Cultural And Political Odyssey Of French Students And Intellectuals In The 1960S, The Wind From The East Illustrates How The Maoist Phenomenon Unexpectedly Sparked A Democratic Political Sea Change In France.
