primitive society, n.All

Primitive society (n.) knows ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠neither repression nor the unconscious, because it does not know the category of the sexual.

A Primitive society (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠called so not because it has no history — every society is in history — but because it tries, with a skill we underrate, to make its earlier states as permanent as possible.
