Beauty and the beast
Excelente Zona Social
Writing culture suggests (1) allowing writing to take up the burden of theory, (2) practice Walter Benjamin's idea of denkbilden, or thought-images, (3) create culture as well as describe and analyze. Thus, this little sketch I call "Excelente zona social
What color is the sacred
Playful, enthralling, and whip-smart, Taussig's writing makes ingenious connections between ideas, thinkers, and things. An extended meditation on the mysteries of colour and the fascination they provoke, this book is the next step on his remarkable intellectual path
Walter Benjamin's Grave
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 20th century's greatest cultural critic
