Customer Reviews

This book examines the discourse on 'primitive thinking' in early twentieth century Germany. It explores texts from the social sciences, writings on art and language and - most centrally - literary works by Robert Musil, Walter Benjamin, Gottfried Benn and Robert Muller, focusing on three figurations of alterity prominent in European primitivism: indigenous cultures, children, and the mentally ill.
