i am very pleased that you included blanchot. a bit curious why you didn't include one of his contemporaries and critics like sartre, or later derrida, or a contemporary ally like deleuze. i mean f. did write about all three.

The first picture is the cover of Sheridan's Will to Truth, isn't it?
Or maybe the picture came out before the book..

Thank you so much for sharing this video here! I've included it on my list of favorites at once! :)
Seeing the image of Damiens gave me the creeps though: I remember how troubled I was after reading about his torture right at the beginning of "A supraveghea si a pedepsi" (Discipline and Punish in Romanian translation). And quite honestly, reading it in French had no mitigating effect either...
Thank you again!

The Damiens account was also in Peter Weiss' great 1963 play, "Marat Sade" ...
