What Dominique Pagani says
Dominique Pagani speaks of Vulcan as the blacksmith god, the only god who works while the others feast12. He stresses his ugliness: a lame god, "ugly and black", the ugliest on Olympus, and yet the husband of Venus, who deceives him with Mars324. He makes him the figure of the collective worker and of production, whose act is to produce, as opposed to consuming25. He links him above all to Michel Clouscard, in whose work Vulcan stands against Narcissus according to the formula "yours to make, mine to please"6. In this pairing, seduction liquidates the figure of labour7. Commenting on Clouscard, he adds that toil is the obscene moment, the one that makes Vulcan uglier than Narcissus89. He takes up this opposition from 2017 to 2021: in his postface to Clouscard, in debates on work, including a meeting with Bernard Friot, and in a session on the sciences of history.
