Bakounine

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Bakunin in passing, most often in connection with Wagner. He presents him as the friend of Wagner the barricade fighter1, someone the composer spent time with during his years of poverty in Paris2. He also reports that a reading of Parsifal made Bakunin impatient3; he mentions this detail in a session on the logic of the subject in the face of the reconstitution of Nazism. In a session on Freud, he places him in Paris, discussing workers' revolution and the role of women4. On the political level, he notes that Marx becomes his adversary5; the remark comes in a session on Rousseau. Finally, he recalls that Bakunin "ended up kissing the tsar's hands"1. The passages do not go into his doctrine or his writings. Bakunin appears in them as a figure from the revolutionary milieu, whom Dominique Pagani brings in to shed light on Wagner's path and on the opposition with Marx.
