‎Modieuze dansstijlen, music-hallspektakels, tochtjes per vliegtuig, ritjes per sidecar: voor Clement Pansaers zijn het stuk voor stuk middelen tot geestelijke bevrijding, zoals ook de alcohol-cafeinecocktail die Leuterlul en Poepescheet in Dancing Bar Nicanor consumeren. Bar Nicanor en Pan Pan voor de Poeper van de Neger Naakt zijn de twee hoogtepunten in het bliksemoeuvre van Clement Pansaers, de Vlaamse ex-seminarist die in de vroege jaren twintig in de spotlights van de dada-internationale opdook en door zijn vroege dood weer even snel van het podium van de avant-garde verdween. Pansaers' poetische branie gaat terug op de futuristen, maar ondanks de euforische toon van zijn teksten levert hij geen lofzang op de moderne wereld, zoals Marinetti en de zijnen. Hij wil een taal smeden om de psychosensorische ervaring weer te geven die de kern en de motor van zijn oeuvre vormt. Net als in het eerder bij Vantilt verschenen Apologie van de luiheid beschrijft Pansaers zijn zoektocht naar een staat van bewustzijn die is losgekomen van starre Cartesiaanse denkschema's, daarin sterk beinvloed door het taoisme van Zhuangzi. Clement Pansaers, die banden onderhield met Marcel Duchamp en James Joyce, maakte net als die geniale generatiegenoten polyfoon werk, waarin ultramodernistische technieken in dienst staan van een metafysische queeste. ‎

‎Extremely rare first printing of the very first law anywhere in the world to abandon slave trade. From the library of King Christian VII, who passed the law, with his crowned gilt monogram to spine. With the completely groundbreaking ""Forordning on Neger=Handelen"" (""Decree about the Negro-Trade"") of 1792, under King Christian VII, Denmark became the first country in the world to forbid slave-trade. Although the first law against slavery as such, not just slave-trade, would follow half a decade later, this first decree forbidding trading in slaves was a major milestone towards equality and freedom for all of mankind, in fact the very first of its kind in the entire world. Britain would be the next country to follow lead, and their first law against slave-trading was passed in 1807, 15 years after the Danish. After the British followed The US, Spain in 1811, Sweden in 1813, Netherlands in 1814, and France in 1817.From the 1660'ies until the end of the 18th century, about 111.000 slaves were sent from the Gold Coast in Danish Guinea to the Danish colony on the West-Indian islands St. Thomas, St. Jan, and St. Croix, this slave trade being part of a larger three-way trade between The Gold Coast, The West-Indian Islands, and Denmark. Weapons and alcohol were shipped from Denmark to Africa to buy slaves, and the slaves were transported to The West-Indies, from where other goods, especially sugar, were shipped back to Denmark. During the last decades of the 18th century, many Europeans were having concerns with the continuation of trading with slaves. One of these was the Danish Minister of Finance, himself a plantation owner, Ernst Schimmelmann (1747-1831), who was instrumental in the Royal Decree against slave-trade being formulated and passed. He was clearly affected by the general tendencies and the new Enlightenment view of mankind, the freedom and rights of man, and the question of the decency of trading in human beings. There was also a financial aspect of the wish to forbid slave trade, as it was beginning to become clear that society was moving towards a more humanistic view of all of mankind that would eventually make slave trading difficult. And apart from that there was also the question whether it was even profitable to transport slaves all the longs way over the Atlantic Ocean. Whatever the bearing arguments might have been, the present decree is a groundbreaking document that catapulted Denmark into a modern, humane world, 15 years before any other country, helping to spark a world-wide legal movement that was absolutely essential in order for the world to evolve into one that is free, humane, and equal for all of mankind.‎
