Talk:Messieurs

As none of you all has the honesty to talk about the content. Is one of you a specialist of the 19th centuries french writers ? Arthur Rimbaud, Chateaubriand, Zola were part of the group "Messieurs" which was a secret and anonymous group. I feel sorry if you are not able to get historical books where this story is reveald and explained.

Nothing more complicated than History.

Hello, I've noticed that this page is being considered for deletion. It seems there is some doubt about the content of the article. Though I can deplore a lack of referencing and detail in some areas, I do concur with the preceding comment about this "Messieurs" group. I read about them in Deleuze's "Difference and Repetition". If I remember correctly, he spoke of them in an example of repetition, which he defines as difference without concept. His argument seemed to be that this group were the complex repetition of the poetic group 'La Pléiade' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Pléiade) named after the constellation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleiades). I regret not being able to provide more details, which is why I haven't inputted it into the article. My policy is to not comment if I cannot reference, though I think it would be a shame to lose what has been written thus far and could be contributed to in the future. I also think the section pertaining to slang is interesting, and I realize that colloquialisms are always particularly difficult to reference.
