Spring in Paris, and revolution's in the air again

Article Abstract:

Intellectuals from all spheres of life in France have launched a campaign against the government in an attempt to expose the government's over-all strategy to regulate and commercialise intellectual thought. The dispute between intellectuals and the government began in summer 2003, when the government changed regulations regarding the level of support offered to working or unemployed actors. The dispute expanded on 18 February 2004 when music and politics magazine Les Inrockuptibles published a petition denouncing the government's war against intelligence. In just two weeks the petition attracted over 70,000 signatories.
