On the definition of literary primitivism: Introduction by Irene Albers and Andreas Schmid
IntroductionFrom a German perspective, it is striking that the notion of primitivism is hardly used in French-language research. With the exception of a few recent works on primitivism in literature (Denogent 2022; Le Quellec Cottier et Rodriguez 2023a), the term only appears in art history (Dagen 1998, 2019, 2020; Brun 2019). It seems that Claude Lévi-Strauss’s dismissal of the category of the “primitive” in anthropology has tainted its related …
Sur la définition du primitivisme littéraire: Introduit par Irene Albers et Andreas Schmid
IntroductionDu point de vue allemand, il est frappant de constater que la notion de primitivisme est peu mobilisée par la recherche francophone. À l’exception de quelques travaux récents sur le primitivisme littéraire (Denogent 2022 ; Le Quellec Cottier et Rodriguez 2023a), le terme n’apparaît qu’en histoire de l’art (voir notamment : Dagen 1998, 2019, 2020 ; Brun 2019), comme si le discrédit qui frappe la catégorie de primitif en anthropologie d…
Appropriation, Provenance, and Restitution: The Case of Verbal Arts
Stuttgart, 2021: The publishing house Reclam brings out a gift book titled The Most Beautiful Tales from Africa. It is clear from a glance at the list of sources, which refers, among other things, to the anthologies of Carl Meinhof (1917), Leo Frobenius (1923), and Carl Einstein (1925), that the book is a compilation of texts from older collections (Fig. 1), which were themselves put together from the collected texts of ethnologists, administrato…
Literatur als koloniale Beute: Für eine philologische Provenienzforschung
Mit der hier erstmals skizzierten Methode einer philologischen Provenienzforschung lässt sich untersuchen, wie »Oralliteraturen« aus kolonisierten Gebieten nach Europa gelangten. Dieser Transfer wurde in der Forschung bislang weitgehend vernachlässigt, wird aber bereits in der postkolonialen Gegenwartsliteratur verhandelt. Er lieferte das Material für die Poetik der historischen Avantgarden, für Literatur- und Sprachtheorien, aber auch für einen …
The Passions of the Body in Boccaccio's Decameron
The Passions of the Body in Boccaccio's Decameron Irene Albers I. Pathognomy in the Novella The sixth day of Boccaccio's Decameron begins with a very short and apparently insignificant story. A knight wants to shorten a woman's long journey with a narrative, a "novella," but he is a bad storyteller, who mixes up names, muddles, and hopelessly botches the story. The reaction of his female listener is described in the following terms: "Di che a mad…
Das multiple Subjekt: Randgänge ästhetischer Subjektivität bei Fernando Pessoa, Samuel Beckett und Friederike Mayröcker
Die literarische Moderne ist ohne eine Vielzahl von Formen der Subjektentgrenzung kaum denkbar. Diese werden jedoch oft als Ausdruck tiefgreifender (Selbst-) Entfremdungsprozesse gewertet und selten in ihrer positiven Qualität als alternative Formen von Subjektivierung gewürdigt. Julia Weber deutet literarische Ich-Vervielfältigungen dagegen als schöpferische Auseinandersetzungen mit verlorenen Subjektgarantien. Gerade die Texte Fernando Pessoas,…
Mimesis and Alterity: Michel Leiris's Ethnography and Poetics of Spirit Possession
The title of Leiris's diary L'Afrique fantôme has mostly been understood as a critique of European Africanist discourse. However, Leiris does a lot more than just denounce (his own) exoticism. This article argues that the title of his diary has to be read with reference to the French Surrealist and ethnographer's experience during his stay in Gondar while studying the zar , a popular cult of spirit possession. These ecstatic cults have been descr…
