Survivre et vivre

Survivre (Survive), later renamed Survivre et Vivre (Survive and Live), was a political group founded on 27 July 1970 in Montreal by Claude Chevalley, Alexander Grothendieck and Pierre Samuel, all three recognized mathematicians. The group was very influenced by the American hippie movement, pacifism and ecology. From August 1970 to June 1975, they published the journal Survivre... et vivre.[1][2]

Presentation

Its purpose, as Alexander Grothendieck explains, is " the struggle for the survival of the human species, and even of life itself, threatened by the growing ecological imbalance caused by the indiscriminate use of science and technology and by suicidal social mechanisms, and also threatened by conflicts related to the proliferation of military devices and arms industries ". Very visionary, the group disappeared in the middle of the 1970s, its members dispersing, or joining more politically engaged groups, or magazines like La Gueule Ouverte.

Journal

The journal was originally issued monthly starting from August 1970, then announced a bimonthly rhythm in June 1971, and finally adopted an irregular rhythm until its final issue (number 19) in 1975.[3]
