Although modeled on the famous Gold Museum in Colombia's central bank, the Banco de la República, 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 show-and-tell modality of a museum to engage with the inner life of heat, rain, stone, and swamp, no less than with the life of gold and cocaine. This effort to find a poetry of words becoming things is brought to a head by the explosive qualities of those sublime fetishes of evil beauty, gold and cocaine. At its core, Taussig's museum is about the lure of forbidden things, charged substances that transgress moral codes, the distinctions we use to make sense of the world, and above all the conventional way we write stories. 606 $aIndians of South America$zColombia$zSanta Mari?a (Cauca)$xSocial conditions 606 $aIndians of South America$zColombia$zSanta Mari?a (Cauca)$xEconomic conditions 606 $aIndians, Treatment of$zColombia$zSanta Mari?a (Cauca) 606 $aSlavery$zColombia$zSanta Mari?a (Cauca)$xHistory 606 $aGold mines and mining$zColombia$zSanta Mari?a (Cauca) 606 $aCocaine industry$zColombia$zSanta Mari?a (Cauca) 606 $aDrug traffic$zColombia$zSanta Mari?a (Cauca) 607 $aSanta Mari?a (Cauca, Colombia)$xSocial conditions 607 $aSanta Mari?a (Cauca, Colombia)$xEconomic conditions 610 $agold museum, pacific coast, colombia, miners, cocaine, rain forest, slavery, slaves, labor, colonialism, transgression, forbidden, afro-colombian, banco de la republica, race, racism, exploitation, capitalism, wealth, politics, history, fetish, corruption, indigenous, native, santa maraia, cauca, mines, drug traffic, nonfiction. 615 0$aIndians of South America$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aIndians of South America$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aIndians, Treatment of 615 0$aSlavery$xHistory. 615 0$aGold mines and mining 615 0$aCocaine industry 615 0$aDrug traffic 676 $a986.1/53 700 $aTaussig$b Michael T$0101224 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791474303321 996 $aMy cocaine museum$93719214 997 $aUNINA
