"This book explores modernity under the spell of the 'primitive.' Proponents of the ideology of progress as well as critics of civilization, utopians dreaming of a re-enchanted existence and supporters and opponents of nascent fascism alike were all profoundly shaped by the phantasm of the 'primitive', a central element of which, this book argues, is the notion of 'primitive thought'. This comprises a distinct mode of thinking--characterized by turns as magical, mythical, mystical, or prelogical--that allows for a fundamentally different way of relating to the world. It was associated not only with indigenous cultures, but also with other figures of alterity, such as children and the mentally ill. The book examines the discourse on 'primitive thinking' in the social sciences, writings on art and language, and--most centrally--literary works by Robert Musil, Walter Benjamin, Gottfried Benn, and Robert Müller."--

Mi-homme, mi-bête, l'enfant sauvage évolue en marge de l'humanité, aux confins de l'animalité, et fait l'objet d'une inépuisable fascination. Cet être vierge de toute éducation, sans mémoire ni avenir, n'a cessé de remettre en question les frontières biologiques, éthiques et religieuses de l'homme. Il a bouleversé nos connaissances dans les domaines de l'acquisition du langage, de l'élaboration de la pensée et de l'établissement des relations sociales. Souvent victime de violences et capable de comportements agressifs, cette figure tragique a nourri un imaginaire prolifique, où se trouvent réactivés aussi bien les mythes de héros et de dieux nourris par des bêtes que ceux des monstres hybrides. S'appuyant sur différentes interprétations anthropologiques, médicales, psychiatriques et biologiques, le présent ouvrage explore l'évolution des représentations de l'enfant sauvage dans la littérature et les arts jusqu'aux créations les plus actuelles.

Nicola Gess liefert eine beeindruckende Explikation des »primitiven Denkens« im Spannungsfeld zwischen Wissenschaft, Kunsttheorie und Literatur und entlang der Figuren des »Wilden«, des Kindes und des »Wahnsinnigen«. Sie rekonstruiert erstens die Geschichte des Diskurses vom primitiven Denken in Ethnologie, Entwicklungspsychologie und Psychopathologie um und nach 1900, sie arbeitet zweitens die Bedeutung dieses Diskurses für Theorien der Kunst und der künstlerischen Sprache heraus und untersucht drittens an Robert Müller, Robert Musil, Gottfried Benn und Walter Benjamin das Phänomen eines literarischen Primitivismus, der das primitive Denken wiederzugewinnen, kritisch zu reflektieren oder im Sinne einer »anderen Rationalität« produktiv weiterzuentwickeln trachtet.
