Established by Roger Borderie, the magazine Obliques, published in the 70s and 80s, proposes monographs of first importance on varied themes (Sade, Wagner Kierkegaard, the German Expressionism, The Surrealist woman, the myth of Don Juan, Sartre, Artaud, etc.), which represent the tendencies and literary influences of that time. Michel Camus, chief editor of the magazine from 1976 till 1983, groups together texts of numerous writers and thinkers: Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, Jean-Paul Sartre, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Michel Butor, etc.
The issues, in deluxe edition, include, for the greater part, original engravings numbered and signed by artists as Jean-Luc Parant, Félix Labisse, Camille Bryen, Fred Deux, etc. To underline : the magnificent serie of photographic prints signed by Henri Maccheroni which is proposed with the issue dedicated to Sade.
