In 2002, one of anthropology's-and indeed today's-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. "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-covering the monument and graveyard at Port Bou, discussions of peasant poetry in Colombia, a pact with the devil, the peculiarities of a shaman's body, transgression, the disappearance of the sea, New York City cops, and the relationship between flowers and violence-each shares Taussig's highly individual brand of storytelling, one that depends on a deep appreciation of objects and things as a way to retrieve even deeper philosophical and anthropological meanings. Whether he finds himself in Australia, Colombia, Manhattan, or Spain, in the midst of a book or a beach, whether talking to friends or staring at a monument, Taussig makes clear through these marvelous essays that materialist knowledge offers a crucial alternative to the increasingly abstract, globalized, homogenized, and digitized world we inhabit. Pursuing an adventure that is part ethnography, part autobiography, and part cultural criticism refracted through the object that is Walter Benjamin's grave, Taussig, with this collection, provides his own literary memorial to the twentieth century's greatest cultural critic. 606 $aAnthropology$xFieldwork 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAnthropology$xFieldwork. 676 $a301.072/3 700 $aTaussig$b Michael T$0101224 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456324203321 996 $aWalter Benjamin's grave$91980854 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01485nam 2200361 n 450 001 996386098003316 005 20221108061854.0 035 $a(CKB)1000000000605464 035 $a(EEBO)2248550274 035 $a(UnM)99836652 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000605464 100 $a19900917d1614 uh | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 10$aBy the King.
