We French cannot really think about politics or philosophy or literature without remembering that all this— politics, philosophy, literature—began, in the modern world, under the sign of a crime. A crime was committed in France in 1793. They killed a good and entirely likable king who was the incarnation of legitimacy. We cannot not remember that this crime was horrible... When we speak about writing, the accent is on what is necessarily criminal in writing. (Jean-Francois Lyotard, "Discussion Lyotard-Rorty" 583; quoted in Dunn 165) |
