ABSTRACT
In Addition to All these considerations, my only intimate conviction concerning the supposed effects of ‘politicization’ concerned precisely those middle classes from which I had come and to which I belonged, since I had gauged the role of a subversive culture in my own attempt to break with my class. It was thus a matter of directing one’s professional interventions, using the plastic arts and current artistic developments, at a wider public constituted by the new middle classes, without ever believing it either possible or legitimate to broaden the scope of this action so as to reach other strata of society, in particular the popular strata.
