What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Louise Michel mainly in sessions and interviews devoted to Michel Clouscard, where she serves him as a reference point within the anarchist tradition. In 2012, he places her at one of the poles of the anarchist spectrum, opposite the libertarians of Oregon1. From 2024 to 2026, he returns to the same idea: she represents an anarchism in solidarity with the working class, a fellow traveller of its struggles23. In an interview on Clouscard and the betrayal of May 68, he says he respects this figure of the anarchist who fights alongside the workers4. In a 2022 session on feminism and femininity, where he reads Molière, Clouscard and Wagner, he calls her an "extraordinary" figure of women's struggles during the Paris Commune5. His mentions remain brief: he cites her as an example without studying her writings.
