Event_Alluded: Execution of the "Pseudo-Fu-zhu-li", as reported and pictured in Berthelot article
Date_of_event: 1905
Original_Text_Language: French
Text_Interest: The Chinese tortured by lingchi is appears like a leading thread in Vagadu, the first in three volumes of Catherine Crachat's adventures. Though also inspired by Catholic backgroundn Jouve's perception of the event contrasts with Bataille's contemplation of lingchied body, as well as with the later (and dubious) Bataille's sadistic cogitation in Tears of Eros.
Comment: Jouve embashedly keeps his sensitivity about Chinese torture within the realm of fiction. The picture described no doubt is Berthelot's article, which was published not in Le Bateau ivre — no journal of the time headed this title, a rememring of Rimbaud's poem— but in the popular encyclopedia Je sais tout (I know everything).
