Founding myths, miscellaneous items in the press, along with a long series of detailed witnesses reveal figures of children who grew up on the edge of the human world, in the company of beasts, sometimes, in solitude and réclusion. Following the stories of feral children amounts to considering in the long term every situation where hypotheses based on theories coming from various perspectives of thought could be evaluated by comparison with man in his "natural state". Feral children seem to be inseparable from the problem of the great Nature /Culture divide and from the way in which our relationships with the non-human world are established
Des mythes fondateurs aux faits divers de nos journaux en passant par une longue échelle de témoignages plus ou moins détaillés on retrouve des figures d'enfants qui ont grandi aux lisières du monde des hommes, dans la compagnie des bêtes, parfois dans la solitude ou la réclusion. Suivre les enfants sauvages revient à éventer dans la longue durée toutes les situations où l'on a voulu tester sur l'homme à l'état de nature les hypothèses issues de théories venant de tous les horizons de la pensée. Ils paraissent inséparables de la problématique du grand partage Nature /Culture et de la négociation de nos relations aux non-humains.
