Аннотация: The paper explores H.v. Kleists (one of the most “cruel” romantic authors, commonly seen as an enfant terrible of the romantic age) conception of spontaneous violence, i.e his considerations about premises, triggers and manifestations of agression. Kleist has linked the current outbreaks of violence with cultural developments of the preceding cen- turies, when a direct, intimate connection with the deity has been gradually replaced by an abstract, universal law. As a result, the profanation of the Sa- cred occurs, that creates an axiological ambiguity (unholy deities, impious saints, impure shrines), the- reby provoking a crisis of faith and identity. Kleist’s characters are longing for God — and they cannot believe, their wrath derives from deep inner confu- sion. Ultimately, agression, as Kleist points it out, doesn`t aim to neutralize the occasional enemy or to inflict “symmetrical” damage to the offender. Rebels stigmatize and cripple (i.e. repulse, overthrow, mire, dismember) “false” idols in order to release from their hypnotic power and to purify, to revive their own faith. Therefore, violent excesses may appear superfluous from a pragmatic, but not from a sym- bolic point of view. Brute force looks attractive be- cause of brevity and directness of such methods, it eliminates duality and stops the erosion of faith, but here integrity is restored by means of restriction and regression. On the other hand, violent outbursts sweep away any intermediary (institutions, conven- tions, accumulated knowledge) and thus enable people to restore a vivid faith and to re-establish a direct connection to the Sacred.
