What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions François Bégaudeau mainly in connection with Clouscard's critique of rock. He faults him for misreading that critique1: Bégaudeau equates it, along with Pagani's own, with Adorno's critique of jazz2. According to Pagani, Bégaudeau accuses them, as he would Adorno, of looking down on kinds of music they have no real experience of. Pagani responds by recalling his own musical experience in Africa and in Paris3. Discussing a recent video, he notes that Bégaudeau criticizes him without using any philosophical category: the only one he finds there is the revelation Bégaudeau says he had when listening to the Sex Pistols4. He also counts Bégaudeau among the libertarian liberals5. His name comes up in a question about national identity as a diversion6. Finally, Pagani points out that Bégaudeau "bashes the bourgeois" in the political sense of the word, not in the sense of someone who lives in a market town (bourg)7.
