- W2104660908 abstract "cruel and illogical tricks in which they specialize will become clearer if they are studied in the context of the grotesque and anti-social activities of the universal folkloric figure of the trickster, which is their subliterary archetype. According to Jung the trickster, an archetypal psychic structure of extreme antiquity embodies an absolutely undifferentiated consciousness, corresponding to a psyche that has hardly left the animal stage. In his clearest manifestations he is a faithful copy of an absolutely undifferentiated human consciousness, corresponding to a psyche that ahs hardly left the animal level’ (Jung 200). He is also seen as poised at the crossroads of the secular and the spiritual. He has some of the features of a pagan deity, of an animal, a human being, a hero, and a buffoon, he serves both good and evil, and functions as denier and affirmer, destroyer and creator. He exists purely on the material level, where what most interests him is the gratification of his physical appetites. Others consider him as a reflection of a logically more sophisticated culture, which needs to create the trickster as a mediating figure to respond to the perception of contradictions in society (Kerenyi, Radin, Babcock-Abrahams, Sayre, Koepping). In any case, the trickster represents a symbolic inversion of established values, who is amoral, asocial, aggressive, impulsive, deceitful, exhibitionist, has an overdeveloped libido, and is constantly provoking all authority. From his position on the fringe of society he mocks all conventions but in particular those relating to sexuality. His arms of attack range from coprophagy to scatology, ie., from material dirt to verbal dirt. He may directly sling excrement or drench others in urine, traditional debasing gestures in terms of the topography of the body. He may, instead, obsessively repeat tabu words directly or through double entendres and thus make them, so to speak, come alive. From a psychoanalytical perspective, the trickster’s verbal games N ames or nicknames of tricksters, who often appear in both oral culture and in literature in the guise of servants or fools, are infused with what Bakhtin (16-17, 27-28, i48, 1648, et pass.) called the grotesque debasement of language to the bodily lower stratum. This grotesque carnivalesque language, characteristic of the speech of the marketplace, emphasizes excrescences of the human body, especially the phallus, but also the nose, which often stands for it, as well as all the apertures of the body and hence the often interchanged activities of eating, copulation and excretion. It blurs, as well, the frontiers between categories of the human, the animate, and the inanimate. In this paper I shall exemplify the use of carnivalesque debasement in naming conventions of trickster figures, both in literary and subliterary texts from antiquity to the present, with primary emphasis on the medieval and renaissance periods." @default.
