L’enfant sauvage à l’oreille de Lucien Malson

The figure of the wild child was revised in the 1960s through Lucien Malson’s reading, which inspired François Truffaut's film of 1969. In order to grasp this particular deployment of the “wild child” in the human science writing of this prolific period, we shall analyse two concurrent types of...

description The figure of the wild child was revised in the 1960s through Lucien Malson’s reading, which inspired François Truffaut's film of 1969. In order to grasp this particular deployment of the “wild child” in the human science writing of this prolific period, we shall analyse two concurrent types of writing by Lucien Malson, corresponding to his two apparently unrelated activities, special education on the one hand, and jazz music criticism on the other. We will thus be able to read in tandem a history of the wild child and a history of jazz, with each type of writing feeding off the other. The use of the wild child was absolutely singular, stemming as it did from an author for whom looking and listening, a sensory sensitivity (the senses) and a linguistic sensitivity (meaning) were inseparable.
