13 The most perfect illustration of this analysis can be found, thanks to the fine work done by Robert Darnion, in the history of that son of cultural revolution that the dominated figures within the emergent intellectual field - people such as Bnssot, Mercier. Desmoulins. Hebert, Marat, and so many others - carried out within the Revolutionary movement (destruction of the Academies, dispersion of the salons, suppression of pensions, abolition of privileges). This cultural revolution sprang from the status of ‘cultural pariahs* and its first priority was to attack the symbolic foundations of power, contributing, by its ‘politico-pornography* and its deliberately scatological lampoons, to the task of ‘delegitimation* which is doubtless one of the fundamental dimensions of revolutionary radicalism, (See R. Darnton, ‘The high Enlightenment and the low-life of literature in pre-revolutionary France’,
