Vanessa Paradis

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Vanessa Paradis in connection with a memory of teaching in Niger. He comes back to it regularly from 2012 to 2020, in sessions of different kinds. At first, his Nigerien pupils, whom he once describes as street children, knew only her music1. He stresses that they knew it better than their own music2. He explains this through radio: depending on the session, RFI broadcast only her music in Niger, or she was the only Western music heard there3. He tells this memory in sessions devoted to Michel Clouscard, libertarian liberalism, libidinal consumption and music. He also tells it in the Musicosophie series, in the session on "sound ghettos"4. In Hegel Plage, he also cites her name as an example of the choice of modern leisure5. The passages do not deal with her songs: he uses her name as an example.
