Mimesis and Alterity: A Particular History of the Senses
ISBN: 9780415906876 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In his most ambitious and accomplished work to date, Michael Taussig undertakes a history of mimesis, the practice of imitation, and its relation to alterity, the opposition of Self and Other. Drawing upon such diverse sources as theories of Benjamin, Adorno and Horckheimer, research on the Cuna Indians, and theories of colonialism and postcolonialism, Taussig shows that the history of mimesis is deeply tied to colonialism, and more specifically, to the colonial trade's construction of "savages." With analysis that is vigorous, unorthodox, and often breathtaking, Taussig's cross-cultural...

Beauty and the Beast
ISBN: 9780226789866 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Beauty and the Beastbegins with the question: Is beauty destined to end in tragedy? Drawing on extensive fieldwork in Colombia, Michael Taussig scrutinizes the anxious, audacious, and sometimes destructive attempts people make to transform their bodies through cosmetic surgery and liposuction. He balances an examination of surgeries meant to enhance an individual s beauty with an often overlooked counterpart, surgeries performed often on high profile criminals to disguise one s identity. Situating this globally shared phenomenon within the economic, cultural, and political history... Beauty and the Beastbegins with the question: Is beauty destined to end in tragedy?

Shamanism, Colonialism, and the Wild Man: A Study in Terror and Healing
ISBN: 9780226790138 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 538 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Working with the image of the Indian shaman as Wild Man, Taussig reveals not the magic of the shaman but that of the politicizing fictions creating the effect of the real. "This extraordinary book . . . will encourage ever more critical and creative explorations."--Fernando Coronil, I]American Journal of Sociology /I] "Taussig has brought a formidable collection of data from arcane literary, journalistic, and biographical sources to bear on . . . questions of evil, torture, and politically institutionalized hatred and terror. His intent is laudable, and much of the book is brilliant,...

The Corn Wolf
ISBN: 9780226310855 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Collecting a decade of work from iconic anthropologist and writer Michael Taussig, The Corn Wolf pinpoints a moment of intellectual development for the master stylist, exemplifying the "nervous system" approach to writing and truth that has characterized his trajectory. Pressured by the permanent state of emergency that imbues our times, this approach marries storytelling with theory, thickening spiraling analysis with ethnography and putting the study of so-called primitive societies back on the anthropological agenda as a way of better understanding the sacred in everyday life. ...

The Nervous System
ISBN: 9781138139831 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In a series of intriguing essays ranging over terror, State fetishism, shamanic healing in Latin America, homesickness, and the place of the tactile eye in both magic and modernity, anthropologist Michael Taussig puts into representational practice a curious type of engaged writing. Based on a paranoiac vision of social control and its understanding as in a permanent state of emergency leaving no room for contemplation between signs and things, these essays hover between story-telling and high theory and thus create strange new modes of critical discourse. The...

The Devil and Commodity Fetishism in South America
ISBN: 9780807871331 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this classic book, Michael Taussig explores the social significance of the devil in the folklore of contemporary plantation workers and miners in South America. Grounding his analysis in Marxist theory, Taussig finds that the fetishization of evil, in the image of the devil, mediates the conflict between precapitalist and capitalist modes of objectifying the human condition. He links traditional narratives of the devil-pact, in which the soul is bartered for illusory or transitory power, with the way in which production in capitalist economies causes workers to become alienated from the...

Mimesis and Alterity: A Particular History of the Senses
ISBN: 9781138242982 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this ambitious and accomplished work, Taussig explores the complex and interwoven concepts of mimesis, the practice of imitation, and alterity, the opposition of Self and Other. The book moves from the nineteenth-century invention of mimetically capacious machines, such as the camera, to the fable of colonial 'first contact' and the alleged mimetic power of 'primitives'. Twenty years after the original publication, Taussig revisits the work in a new preface which contextualises the impact of Mimesis and Alterity. Drawing on the ideas of Benjamin, Adorno and Horckheimer and...

My Cocaine Museum
ISBN: 9780226790091 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this book, a make-believe cocaine museum becomes a vantage point from which to assess the lives of Afro-Colombian gold miners drawn into the dangerous world of cocaine production in the rain forest of Colombia's Pacific Coast. Although modeled on the famous Gold Museum in Colombia's central bank, the Banco de la Republica, Taussig's museum is also a parody aimed at the museum's failure to acknowledge the African slaves who mined the country's wealth for almost four hundred years. Combining natural history with political history in a filmic, montage style, Taussig deploys the...

The Magic of the State
ISBN: 9780415917919 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The author describes how through theatres of ecstasy, the State, for the perpetuation of its spiritual authority, needs to tell about itself. Developing concepts of the sacred from Bataille, the post-Surreal College of Sociology, Canetti, Marx, Hobbes and Walter Benjamin, Taussig creates his own theatre of spirit-possession utitlizing popular shrines, official monuments and slogans, money, the police, the freeway system, automobiles, taxis, the stealing of the sword of the state and, through fetishization of Europe's (dead) others, Native Americans and people of African descent.

Defacement: Public Secrecy and the Labor of the Negative
ISBN: 9780804732000 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 325 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Defacement asks what happens when something precious is despoiled. It begins with the notion that such activity is attractive in its very repulsion, and that it creates something sacred even in the most secular of societies and circumstances. In specifying the human face as the ideal type for thinking through such violation, this book raises the issue of secrecy as the depth that seems to surface with the tearing of surface. This surfacing is made all the more subtle and ingenious, not to mention everyday, by the deliberately partial exposures involved in "the public secret"--defined...

Law in a Lawless Land: Diary of a Limpieza in Colombia
ISBN: 9780226790145 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A modern nation in a state of total disorder, Colombia is an international flashpoint wracked by more than half a century of civil war, political conflict, and drug-trade related violence despite a multibillion dollar American commitment that makes it the third-largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid.
"Law in a Lawless Land" offers a rare and penetrating insight into the nature of Colombia's present peril. In a nuanced account of the human consequences of a disintegrating state, anthropologist Michael Taussig chronicles two weeks in a small town in Colombia's Cauca Valley taken over by...
