Godard

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Jean-Luc Godard occasionally, as a marker of a period rather than as an object of analysis. In 2017, in a session that asks whether it is possible to philosophize between crisis and war, he paraphrases a line from "À bout de souffle" (Breathless): if you do not think, get yourself thought1. Above all, he links the filmmaker to the moment of May 68. "La Chinoise" serves him to evoke the pro-Chinese period of 19682. In a session devoted to Michel Clouscard and the capitalism of seduction, he reports that Pompidou discusses Godard's latest film over lunch3. In 2020, he points out that the film "Tout va bien" has the same title as a collective discussed in the session4. In a Musicosophie session on program music and pure music, he remarks that Godard, a Swiss filmmaker, is annexed as French, as Belgian musicians are5. The passages contain no sustained reading of his films.
