Illouz

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani cites Jean-Nicolas Illouz as a reader of Nerval. He refers above all to his lecture on literary genres in Sylvie, which deals with Nerval's relation to the voice and to folk songs1. He mentions it in 2018 in a session devoted to Angélique, and again in 2020: during the lockdown, he recommends his filmed lectures on Nerval2. That same year, in a "Musicosophie" session that goes from Lévi-Strauss to Nerval on the subject of music, he judges the lecture exceptionally pertinent3. He takes two points from this reading. First, Nerval is worried by the Fortoul plan rather than pleased with it4. Second, songs are passed down from mothers to daughters, without the father taking part5. He thus draws on Illouz to think about oral and musical transmission in Nerval. All the passages connect Illouz to this single question: Nerval, the voice and folk song.
