Bruno Bertheuil, From Memory Image to Social Imaginary : When the Railway Workers Filmed Their Strike During the strike movement of November-December 1995. four railway workers with video cameras filmed the atmosphere, the demonstrations and the different militant actions. At the beginning, their intention was simply to preserve the memory of the historical events. However, viewing these documents reveals that the films are elaborations of social imagination nourished by the workers 'collective memory. By filming non-work, the strikers were attempted to show and, especially, defend their profession.
