Summary

Dominique Pagani mainly discusses Jacques Séguéla through the Apostrophes debate that set him against Michel Clouscard, and he returns to it often. There Séguéla maintains that advertising adds a share of dream to consumption, which Clouscard calls a trinket dream12. According to him, Séguéla accuses Clouscard of proposing the gulag, then is left without an answer when Clouscard speaks to him of Tristan3. Beyond this episode, he makes Séguéla the figure of the modern sophist, a communicator who persuades the crowd, the contemporary equivalent of the master of oratory4. He contrasts this advertising communication with rational communication5 and compares the advertising "concept" to the Deleuzian concept6. He attributes to him the wish to go back from being to appearance and recalls that he wrote the slogan "la force tranquille"7. Elsewhere, he mentions him jokingly, about the counsellor god, or about the advertising agency where the student who failed philosophy finds a new career.
