In November 1973, a demonstration by Polytechnic students in Athens against the colonels' dictatorship was brutally repressed by the military junta in power, following the 1967 coup d'état. Fifty years on, this meeting aims to bring together researchers working on this painful sequence in contemporary Greek society. Echoing the exhibition "The Stone Years. Dissidences et résistances à la dictature des colonels" presented at BULAC, from October 2 to November 4, 2023.

"(...) On the one hand, the aim is to retrace the memory of these events, these acts of resistance and dissidence, as part of a long series of social protest practices. On the other hand, this event aims to examine how this "place of memory" has been revisited within Greek society over the fifty years since November 1973, giving rise to multiple uses and registers of memory. In order to place the sequence of events at the École Polytechnique within a broader geo-historical experience, this day also brings together speakers on the theme of student movements in the 1960s and 1970s around the world." (N. Pitsos)
