Banville

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Théodore de Banville in only a few sessions, and each time briefly. He cites him mainly as a Parnassian poet, a name in a list rather than an author he reads closely. He appears this way in "Hegel Plage"1, in a session on Leibniz2, and later in a session on the Massacre of the Innocents3. In a 2017 session titled "Entre crise et guerre : Philosopher ?" (Between crisis and war: philosophising?), he links his name to the question of the Parnassus and art for art's sake4. Finally, he mentions him from another angle in a "Musicosophie" session on modern music: Banville appears there as the one who gave the young Rimbaud lodging5. The passages cite no work by Banville and give no detailed reading of one. Nor do they say what Dominique Pagani borrows from him or holds against him. Banville serves mainly as a reference point for placing the Parnassus and Rimbaud's circle.
