What Dominique Pagani says
Dominique Pagani consistently sets institution against instinct: it does not extend instinct, it runs counter to it12. His examples recur from one session to the next. Hunger is an instinct, the meal an institution; sexuality belongs to instinct, marriage to institution, monogamous here, polygamous elsewhere34. He also cites the prohibition of incest and courtesy. For him, history begins when the natural programme is countered in this way5. The fact that rules vary from one culture to another proves they are not natural and leaves room for freedom67. The family stands at the boundary between nature and culture and presupposes marriage, and therefore the State89. In politics, he sees institution, especially the State, as the pacified framework that makes participation possible: the participatory must bring it to life without replacing it1011. Finally, he points out that no language is born of an institution, which can only codify or forbid12.

Season 8 · 21 Jun 2020#11 • Return to the logics of the subject- 27:48The family, marriage, and the meal are not reducible to instinct: they are institutions. The family partakes both of nature and of culture.
Season 6 · 3 Dec 2019#6.2 • The Logic of the Subject in the face of the reconstitution of Nazism- 1:07:51By taking distance from the first impulse, one passes from instinct to institution; the prohibition of incest is one such institution.

Season 2 · 15 Feb 2016#2.1 Between crisis and war: Philosophising?- 1:09:05History begins when the natural program is taken against the grain: instinct becomes institution, sexuality becomes marriage; social facts are coercive.
