Desviados, fabricados, dados vuelta: objetos subversivos en las Américas de los “años 1968”

Abstract

The aim of this article is to approach three events linked to the "Global 68" in the French Antilles, in Argentina and the Dutch Caribbean, through objects that protesters diverted from their "natural" use, produced in factories or simply turned over to resist repression. The idea is to see to what extent these objects represent a novelty in these different “68 actions”, how they embody elements of continuity with a previous trajectory of insurgency, and what they reveal about the intrinsic characteristics of mobilisations which, though local, are inscribed in a global dynamic.
