Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Describes the Western world's fascination with and attraction to primitive cultures; their embodiment of values thought to be lost in modern life (communal feelings, gender harmony, reverence for nature); and our quest for a return to the primitive. 10,000 first printing.

Nota de la solapa:

th early 20th-century figures--among them Carl Jung, Isak Dinesen, and Georgia O'Keeffe--who found in "the primitive" a medium for soul-searching and personal change, Torgovnivk probes how the return to the primitive has signaled a quest to transcend the limitations of the body in a variety of contemporary practices, from genital piercing to New Age rites to the mythopoetic men's movement. Illustrations. 272 pp. Author tour. 10,000 print.
