  • <p>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 <em>Mimesis and Alterity</em>. Drawing on the ideas of Benjamin, Adorno and Horckheimer and ethnographic accounts of the Cuna, Taussig demonstrates how the history of mimesis is deeply tied to colonialism and the idea of alterity has become increasingly unstable. Vigorous and unorthodox, this cross-cultural discussion continues to deepen our understanding of the relationship between ethnography, racism and society.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天...

  • <p>Collecting a decade of work from iconic anthropologist and writer Michael Taussig, <em>The Corn Wolf</em> 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.</p> <p>The leading figure of these projects is the corn wolf, whom Wittgenstein used in his fierce polemic on Frazer’s <em>Golden Bough</em>. For just as the corn wolf slips through the magic of language in fields of danger and disaster, so we are emboldened to take on the widespread culture of academicーor what he deems “agribusiness”ーwriting, which strips ethnography from its ca...

  • <p>In September 1940, Walter Benjamin committed suicide in Port Bou on the Spanish-French border when it appeared that he and his travelling partners would be denied passage into Spain in their attempt to escape the Nazis. In 2002, one of anthropology’sーand indeed today’sーmost distinctive writers, Michael Taussig, visited Benjamin’s grave in Port Bou. The result is “Walter Benjamin’s Grave,” a moving essay about the cemetery, eyewitness accounts of Benjamin’s border travails, and the circumstances of his demise. It is the most recent of eight revelatory essays collected in this volume of the same name.</p> <p>“Looking over these essays written over the past decade,” writes Taussig, “I think what they share is a love of muted and defective storytelling as a form of analysis. Strange love indeed; love of the wound, love of the last gasp.” Although thematically these essays run the gamutーcovering the monument and graveyard at Port Bou, discussions of peasant poetry in Colombia...

  • <p>The Suitcase is a tour-de-force, an imagining of the autobiography of an opportunistic Czech playboy, who avoided legal troubles and subsequently, the Holocaust by moving to Shanghai. There, he joined the fight against fascism, and later continued that struggle in London while his family was murdered in the camps. This narrative, written in the style of a bygone era, will transport readers to a world far different, yet eerily similar to that of the 21st century.</p> <p>This is the true story of Vladim?r George Taussig, a veteran of the Great War whose unfortunate decisions in his native Prague forced him to flee to Shanghai where he fell in with high society-until the Japanese invasion, the beginning of World War II, encroached on the Shanghailanders' rollicking lifestyle. On the other side of the world, his family's lives began to disintegrate when Czechoslovakia was occupied and the horrors of the war reached their doorstep.</p> <p>From dancing on Shanghai's Bund, to ...

  • <p><em>We are the scrappy ones. / We live, we adapt, we defy. / Made of stardust and grit, we are spectacular.</em></p> <p>Children with disabilities experience the world in all kinds of ways. Yet one thing they share is navigating a world that doesn’t always make space for them as they are. Existing on the edges can feel unfairーand downright exhausting. And at the exact same time, it can also foster creativity, resourcefulness, and adaptability. In a word, scrappiness.</p> <p>Author and disability advocate Rebekah Taussig has written a groundbreaking anthem of belonging that celebrates the wide range of disabled children and affirms their worth, just as they are. Luminous illustrations by Kirbi Fagan portray a diverse cast of characters living, learning, and playing. A warm, joy-filled book for disabled and non-disabled readers alike.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら を...

  • <p>“It is the contemporary elixir from which all manner of being emerges, the metamorphic sublime, an alchemist’s dream.” So begins <em>Palma Africana</em>, the latest attempt by anthropologist Michael Taussig to make sense of the contemporary moment. But to what elixir does he refer?</p> <p>Palm oil. Saturating everything from potato chips to nail polish, palm oil has made its way into half of the packaged goods in our supermarkets. By 2020, world production will be double what it was in 2000. In Colombia, palm oil plantations are covering over one-time cornucopias of animal, bird, and plant life. Over time, they threaten indigenous livelihoods and give rise to abusive labor conditions and major human rights violations. The list of entwined horrorsーclimatic, biological, socialーis long. But Taussig takes no comfort in our usual labels: “habitat loss,” “human rights abuses,” “climate change.” The shock of these words has passed; nowadays it is all a blur. Hence, Taussig’s...

  • <p>Doron Taussig invites us to question the American Dream. Did you earn what you have? Did everyone else?</p> <p>The American Dream is built on the idea that Americans end up roughly where we deserve to be in our working lives based on our efforts and abilities; in other words, the United States is supposed to be a meritocracy. When Americans think and talk about our lives, we grapple with this idea, asking how a person got to where he or she is and whether he or she earned it. In <em>What We Mean by the American Dream</em>, Taussig tries to find out how we answer those questions.</p> <p>Weaving together interviews with Americans from many walks of lifeーas well as stories told in the US media about prominent figures from politics, sports, and businessー<em>What We Mean by the American Dream</em> investigates how we think about whether an individual deserves an opportunity, job, termination, paycheck, or fortune. Taussig looks into the fabric of American life to e...

  • <p>La bellezza e la bestia si apre con una domanda: la bellezza ? destinata a finire in tragedia? L’antropologo Michael Taussig, con l’attenzione e l’acume teorico che lo contraddistinguono, esamina gli sconsiderati, audaci e alle volte distruttivi tentativi intrapresi per trasformare il corpo attraverso la chirurgia estetica. Attingendo dalla lunga esperienza sul campo in Colombia, Taussig unisce a un’analisi della chirurgia destinata ad accrescere la bellezza di una persona lo studio del suo omologo, sovente trascurato, rappresentato dagli interventi ? ai quali spesso ricorrono criminali d’alto profilo ? che invece ne mascherano l’identit?, e stabilisce cos? un collegamento tra la lunga guerra civile colombiana e l’industria cosmetica in generale. Taussig parla di interventi chirurgici finiti male e se ne serve per inscrivere le specificit? del suo studio all’interno di un orizzonte analitico di maggior ampiezza, riguardante la bellezza del corpo femminile e il consumo. Cos? fac...

  • <p><em>Ordinary Genomes</em> is an ethnography of genomics, a global scientific enterprise, as it is understood and practiced in the Netherlands. Karen-Sue Taussig’s analysis of the Dutch case illustrates how scientific knowledge and culture are entwined: Genetics may transform society, but society also transforms genetics. Taussig traces the experiences of Dutch people as they encounter genetics in research labs, clinics, the media, and everyday life. Through vivid descriptions of specific diagnostic processes, she illuminates the open and evolving nature of genetic categories, the ways that abnormal genetic diagnoses are normalized, and the ways that race, ethnicity, gender, and religion inform diagnoses. Taussig contends that in the Netherlands ideas about genetics are shaped by the desire for ordinariness and the commitment to tolerance, two highly-valued yet sometimes contradictory Dutch social ideals, as well as by Dutch history and concerns about immigration and Europea...

  • <p>Cosa accadrebbe se immaginassimo una societ? realmente inclusiva? Se invece di investire in "adattamenti" posticci per chi non rientra in uno standard imposto, creassimo invece una realt? pi? rispettosa di tutti i corpi e dei loro bisogni? Rebekah Taussig risponde a queste domande e sposta del tutto il nostro punto di vista. Attraverso il racconto della sua vita, l'autrice ci dimostra la pervasivit? dell'approccio abilista e l'impatto che questo ha sulle persone, con o senza disabilit?. Ci ricorda che ci? che abbiamo in comune ? un corpo, un corpo che non ? (sempre e per sempre) quello immaginario e ideale che ci viene richiesto: ecco perch? questo libro ci riguarda tutte.

  • <p><em>I Swear I Saw This</em> records visionary anthropologist Michael Taussig’s reflections on the fieldwork notebooks he kept through forty years of travels in Colombia. Taking as a starting point a drawing he made in Medellin in 2006ーas well as its caption, “I swear I saw this”ーTaussig considers the fieldwork notebook as a type of modernist literature and the place where writers and other creators first work out the imaginative logic of discovery.</p> <p>Notebooks mix the raw material of observation with reverie, juxtaposed, in Taussig’s case, with drawings, watercolors, and newspaper cuttings, which blend the inner and outer worlds in a fashion reminiscent of Brion Gysin and William Burroughs’s surreal cut-up technique. Focusing on the small details and observations that are lost when writers convert their notes into finished pieces, Taussig calls for new ways of seeing and using the notebook as form. Memory emerges as a central motif in <em>I Swear I Saw This</e...

  • <p>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. <em><strong>The Nervous System</strong></em> will appeal to writers, scholars, artists, film makers, and readers interested in critical theory, aesthetics, and politics.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

  • <p>For centuries, humans have excelled at mimicking nature in order to exploit it. Now, with the existential threat of global climate change on the horizon, the ever-provocative Michael Taussig asks what function a newly invigorated mimetic faculty might exert along with such change. <em>Mastery of Non-Mastery in the Age of Meltdown</em> is not solely a reflection on our condition but also a theoretical effort to reckon with the impulses that have fed our relentless ambition for dominance over nature.</p> <p>Taussig seeks to move us away from the manipulation of nature and reorient us to different metaphors and sources of inspiration to develop a new ethical stance toward the world. His ultimate goal is to undo his readers’ sense of control and engender what he calls “mastery of non-mastery.” This unique book developed out of Taussig’s work with peasant agriculture and his artistic practice, which brings performance art together with aspects of ritual. Through immersive me...

  • <p>Over the past thirty years, visionary anthropologist Michael Taussig has crafted a highly distinctive body of work. Playful, enthralling, and whip-smart, his writing makes ingenious connections between ideas, thinkers, and things. An extended meditation on the mysteries of color and the fascination they provoke, <em>What Color Is the Sacred?</em> is the next step on Taussig’s remarkable intellectual path.</p> <p>Following his interest in magic and surrealism, his earlier work on mimesis, and his recent discussion of heat, gold, and cocaine in <em>My Cocaine Museum</em>,this book uses color to explore further dimensions of what Taussig calls “the bodily unconscious” in an age of global warming. Drawing on classic ethnography as well as the work of Benjamin, Burroughs, and Proust, he takes up the notion that color invites the viewer into images and into the world. Yet, as Taussig makes clear, color has a historyーa manifestly colonial history rooted in the West’s disc...

  • <p><strong>The celebrated anthropologist and author of <em>The Corn Wolf</em> examines the Colombian culture of plastic surgery and its surprising relationship to violence.</strong></p> <p>Drawing on extensive fieldwork in Colombia, Michael Taussig scrutinizes the 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 their often-overlooked counterparts, surgeries performedーoften on high profile criminalsーto disguise one’s identity. Exploring this global phenomenon through Colombia’s economic, cultural, and political history, Taussig links the country’s long civil war and history of torture to the beauty industry at large, sketching Colombia as a country whose high aesthetic stakes make it a staging ground for some of the most important and problematic ideas about the body.</p> <p>Central to Taussig’s examinati...

  • <p>Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The crucifixion of Jesus is the most obvious example of the violence at the heart of Roman rule. Romans crucified hundreds of thousands of those they conquered, and such government crucifixions were intentionally undertaken as public torture and terrorism. #2 The city of Rome’s domination began and ended with military conquest. Roman generals regularly raped enemy soldiers who survived their battles, and Roman citizens were not tortured, but no legal protections prevented conquered peoples from being tortured. #3 The Roman Empire was built on, and grew by, enslaving more and more people. Slavery was everywhere in Roman society, from the government to private individuals. #4 The Romans were a conquering empire that pillaged the art of Greece, the ancient treasures of Egypt, the silver mines in Spain, and the countryside from North Africa to Britain. But they were never satisfied. They alwa...

Readers will not be able to see the New Testament in the same way again.” ーMarcus Borg, author of <em>The Heart of Christianity</em></strong></p> <p><strong>“<em>A New New Testament</em> does what some of us never dreamed possible: it opens the treasure chest of early Christian writings, restoring a carefully select few of them to their rightful place in the broad conversation about who Jesus was, what he did and taught, and what all of that has to do with us now.” ーBarbara Brown Taylor, author of <em>Leaving Church</em> and <em>An Altar in the World</em></strong></p> <p>There are twenty-seven books in the traditional New Testament, but the earliest Christian communities were far more vibrant than that small number might lead you to think.
