Vierge Marie

Summary

Dominique Pagani speaks of the Virgin Mary above all as the figure of the mother who carries and forgives. In Corsican and Mediterranean Catholicism, the Madonna is the favoured object of prayer: one can tell her everything, unlike the Father, and she is loved in Latin countries because she forgives everything12. In his readings of Nerval, he makes her one of the figures of maternal incarnation, the mother who raises to myth34. He often dwells on the Mater dolorosa and the Pietàs, where she supports the body of Christ. He sees in her the mother goddess who gathers up the dismembered body, already prefigured by Gaia, and finds her again in the name of Herzeleide in Perceval56. He also links her to older cults: in the Burgundian virgins, she treads on a crescent moon and takes the place of the water deities and of Isis. In 2024, he associates her with the white of the immaculate conception, a non-dialectical purity, without the red, which remains sterile as long as she stays a virgin7.
