Der Band zeigt die Chancen und Grenzen des Begriffs eines literarischen Primitivismus auf. Die Beiträge entwerfen Theorien des Primitivismus und rekonstruieren seine wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen Hintergründe, sie erarbeiten anhand von Beispielen aus der Literatur die Konturen eines literarischen Primitivismus und beleuchten dessen Verhältnis zum Primitivismus in der bildenden Kunst. Dabei erweist sich der Primitivismus als prägendes Moment in der Ausbildung der literarischen Moderne. This volume explores the usefulness and limitations of the concept of literary primitivism. The individual essays propose theories of primitivism and reconstruct its historical and theoretical background. Using literary examples, they reveal the contours of literary primitivism and explain its relationship to primitivism in the visual arts. The overall picture that emerges from the analysis is of primitivism as a powerful force in the development of literary modernity.

Originally published in 1956. In Ishmael, Professor James Baird responds to the increasing secularization of Western civilization and the creation of what he calls "authentic primitivism." For Baird, the aesthetic austerity of Protestantism undermined the structure of symbols created by Catholicism. In the absence of a meaningful structure of cultural authority in Western civilization, "primary art" took on a quasi-religious role by connecting humans to a transcendent being. Ishmael describes a new system of art, beginning around 1850, that supplanted Christian symbolism. Baird examines writers who helped to create a modern authentic primitivism, with emphasis on Herman Melville, whom Baird sees as a locus of change for the cultural significance of primary art. Baird provides a social history and biography of writers who participated in the primary art movement from 1850 to 1950

Incest, polygamy, murder, sacrilege, impalement, castration, female power, and despotism are some of the images used by Athenian tragedians to define the non-Greek, "barbarian" world. This book explains for the first time the reasons behind their singular fascination with barbarians. Edith Hall sets the Greek plays against the historical background of the Panhellenic wars, and the establishment of an Athenian empire based on democracy and slavery. Analyzed within the context of contemporary anthropology and political philosophy, Hall reveals how the poets conceptualized the barbarian as the negative embodiment of Athenian civic ideals. She compares the treatment of foreigners in Homer and in tragedy, showing that the new dimension which the idea of the barbarian had brought to the tragic theater radically affected the poets' interpretation of myth and their evocation of the distant past, as well as enriching their reportoire of aural and visual effects. Hall argues that the invented barbarian of the tragic stage was a powerful cultural expression of Greek xenophobia and chauvinism that, paradoxically, produced and outburst of creative energy and literary innovation.
