초록
This article is an attempt to analyze the mechanical factors of a few primitive bodies in “The Death of the Ankou” and “Brotcotnaz” by Wyndham Lewis. Ludo and Brotcotnaz as marginalized Others are ambivalently both primitive and mechanical. Ludo is a blind beggar modeled on a beggar Lewis saw in Brittany, the French region of Otherness. Kerr-Orr the narrator mistakes Ludo for Ankou, a god of death. While making a Celtic sound, a signal of primitiveness combined with marginality, Ludo behaves like a shell-shocked soldier in World War I. The shell-shock marks the apogee of the mechanizing trend of the early 20th century. Ludo is the embodiment of the primitive and the mechanical. Lewis had antipathy to the war. Brotcotnaz's wife Julie, who is often drunk, is compared to an animal. As a primitive body compared to animals and faun also, Brotcotnaz a fisherman is a grotesque character. As a violent man beating Julie, Brotcotnaz is aggressive. He performs traditional Breton dances, which are associated with both the primitive and mechanical. Exerting an influence upon an audience, his performance is carnivalesque. Brotcotnaz's eyes are a channel through which his wilderness resonates. The Brotcotnazs are characterized by absurdity, which is the cause of his embarrassment at Julie’s injury. As Julie is injured, he cannot beat her any more paradoxically. The change of his mental state is equated with the nullification of psychological mechanism. By dramatizing their absurdity, Lewis satirizes the mechanized state of the moderns.
Abstract
This article is an attempt to analyze the mechanical factors of a few primitive bodies in “The Death of the Ankou” and “Brotcotnaz” by Wyndham Lewis. Ludo and Brotcotnaz as marginalized Others are ambivalently both primitive and mechanical. Ludo is a blind beggar modeled on a beggar Lewis saw in Brittany, the French region of Otherness. Kerr-Orr the narrator mistakes Ludo for Ankou, a god of death. While making a Celtic sound, a signal of primitiveness combined with marginality, Ludo behaves like a shell-shocked soldier in World War I. The shell-shock marks the apogee of the mechanizing trend of the early 20th century. Ludo is the embodiment of the primitive and the mechanical. Lewis had antipathy to the war. Brotcotnaz's wife Julie, who is often drunk, is compared to an animal. As a primitive body compared to animals and faun also, Brotcotnaz a fisherman is a grotesque character. As a violent man beating Julie, Brotcotnaz is aggressive. He performs traditional Breton dances, which are associated with both the primitive and mechanical. Exerting an influence upon an audience, his performance is carnivalesque. Brotcotnaz's eyes are a channel through which his wilderness resonates. The Brotcotnazs are characterized by absurdity, which is the cause of his embarrassment at Julie’s injury. As Julie is injured, he cannot beat her any more paradoxically. The change of his mental state is equated with the nullification of psychological mechanism. By dramatizing their absurdity, Lewis satirizes the mechanized state of the moderns.
