Censorship

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani approaches censorship on two levels. On the psychic level, it loosens in altered states such as reverie: the forces repressed during the day, for the sake of work and of the relation to others, can then find expression1. On the political level, he presents it as a fundamental theme, one that forces a text to remain political while camouflaging itself2. It renews itself until it becomes self-censorship, and it is often fought through a complicity that beats it at its own game3. Racine is an example: he transgresses censorship without leaving the bounds of legality, saying everything while naming nothing4. In connection with Viennese censorship, Dominique Pagani takes up the formula that its office is "the freest place in the Empire", since there power stands above the power it exercises56. He also mentions the Riancey amendment, which requires a choice between novel and history and targets the public of the barricades7.
