This book examines the discourse on â€˜primitive thinkingâ€™ in early twentieth century Germany. It explores texts from the social sciences, writings on art and language and â€“ most centrally â€“ literary works by Robert Musil, Walter Benjamin, Gottfried Benn and Robert MÃ¼ller, focusing on three figurations of alterity prominent in European primitivism: indigenous cultures, children, and the mentally ill.
