Mucho se ha dicho y escrito sobre el 68, ahora que han transcurrido cuatro décadas y parece momento adecuado para recordarlo. Los periódicos y revistas de todo el orbe, así como las editoriales más prestigiosas y la blogosfera misma, han acogido debates, noticias y reflexiones sobre lo que aquello supuso. Y esta bitácora, atenta a la actualidad,  no podía ser menos. Para no insistir en lo evidente, les recomiendo el especial que publicó a principios de mayo el semanario New Statesman.Entre los artículos incluidos, se recogen sendos recuerdos a cargo de Eric Hobsbawn y Noam Chomsky. Son breves, pero pertenecen a dos de los pensadores más importantes del segundo siglo XX.Por ejemplo, dice Hobsbawm:The political heritage of '68 is relatively minor; the cultural heritage is most important. The women's movement changed universities, which had previously been uninterested in women's history. What does survive goes much beyond universities, including the belief that from the Sixties life changed completely - the rules changed. This process began before '68. In 1965, for the first time, the women's clothing industry in France produced more trousers than skirts; '68 was part of this development, but the transformation of the rules of life and what is and isn't permissible had its roots earlier in the decade.Nineteen sixty-eight was one of many political and cultural experiences in my long life. But for a lot of people who were young in those days it was the central experience, and to that extent thus natural that it should be celebrated. How we judge it is something different.Para quien desee explorar otras formas de analizar el 68:La revista Mittelweg 36 recoge las impresiones de Hannah Arendt a través su correspondencia con el entonces  estudiante de teología Hans-Jürgen Benedict.La francesa Esprit publica un número dedicado a:  "Autour de 1968: années utopiques, années parasites?"Finalmente, y sin ánimo de exhautividad, Karl Heinz Bohrer, editor de  Merkur, rememora aquella época
