About this product
Product Information
I Swear I Saw This 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?as well as its caption, ?I swear I saw this??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. 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 I Swear I Saw This as he explores his penchant to inscribe new recollections in the margins or directly over the original entries days or weeks after an event. This palimpsest of afterthoughts leads to ruminations on Freud?s analysis of dreams, Proust?s thoughts on the involuntary workings of memory, and Benjamin?s theories of history?fieldwork, Taussig writes, provokes childhood memories with startling ease. I Swear I Saw This exhibits Taussig?s characteristic verve and intellectual audacity, here combined with a revelatory sense of intimacy. He writes, ?drawing is thus a depicting, a hauling, an unraveling, and being impelled toward something or somebody.? Readers will exult in joining Taussig once again as he follows the threads of a tangled skein of inspired associations.

~~~This was an excellent find for hard to get book sold out in many stores in Australia. Item as described. Communication was good. After the seller explained that delay in sending was that they had to wait to receive as it is a "special import title" they delivered after only a couple of days of receiving the item. Postage was fast (it only took 3 days to arrive) and the packaging was excellent. Recommended eBay seller~~~
