Céline

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Céline mainly in his sessions devoted to Michel Clouscard. He gives him as the typical example of a right-wing, even far-right, anarchism, which he judges "vile" and which liberal-libertarians appreciate12. He notes that since the 1970s people cite Céline in place of Aragon, just as they cite Heidegger in place of Marx34. He does not dispute his literary power. He holds that aesthetic value must be separated from moral or political value: bad political ideas do not make a bad writer56. Yet he sets a limit on this admiration: an author who called on Jünger for the extermination of the Jews cannot be regarded as the greatest writer of all time7. From 2021 on, he argues that it may be Céline's style that is the most Nazi. He targets in particular this "populo" style, which always keeps the people in the unspeakable, whereas the worker dreams of getting out of the filth89.
