Badiou on Wagner and Lacan on Freud

"‘The French can be defined as those who claim to know what France is, while the Germans can be defined as those who do not know what Germany is’ (101-2), Badiou suggests, to which it is tempting to add that the French can also be defined as those who claim to know what Germans really mean." --This is as true of Badiou on Wagner as it is of Lacan on Freud smile emoticon
An interesting review of Badiou's recent book on Wagner
