In this adapted excerpt from James Joyce's short story "Araby," what literary device does the author use to describe the scene?

We walked through the flaring streets, jostled by loud men and bargaining women, amid the shrill litanies of shop-boys who stood on guard by the barrels of food, the nasal chanting of street-singers, who sang a come-all-you about O'Donovan Rossa, or a ballad about the troubles in our native land.

What does “primitive” mean as it is used in paragraph 9?
Naily [24]

Primitive in this context is closer to innate or previously existing in the person.

Explanation:

Primitive in the sense of psychology for Freud was always something that had existed in the  person without any outside influence that would inform their behavior.

The primitive action is one that the person is ingrained to perform in the way of their own psyche and has nothing to do with outside influence over them.

This is developed in the concept of displacement and familiarization of the death principle and the life principle of Freud that is being discussed hire.
