What Color Is the Sacred? (Paperback)
Published by The University of Chicago Press, Chicago, IL, 2009
ISBN 10: 0226790061 ISBN 13: 9780226790060
Language: English
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 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, What Color Is the Sacred? is the next step on Taussigs remarkable intellectual path.Following his interest in magic and surrealism, his earlier work on mimesis, and his recent discussion of heat, gold, and cocaine in My Cocaine Museum,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 historya manifestly colonial history rooted in the Wests discomfort with color, especially bright color, and its associations with the so-called primitive. He begins by noting Goethes belief that Europeans are physically averse to vivid color while the uncivilized revel in it, which prompts Taussig to reconsider colonialism as a tension between chromophobes and chromophiliacs. And he ends with the strange story of coal, which, he argues, displaced colonial color by giving birth to synthetic colors, organic chemistry, and IG Farben, the giant chemical corporation behind the Third Reich.Nietzsche once wrote, So far, all that has given colour to existence still lacks a history. With What Color Is the Sacred? Taussig has taken up that challenge with all the radiant intelligence and inspiration weve come to expect from him. A meditation on the mysteries of color and the fascination they provoke. It uses color to explore further dimensions of what the author calls 'the bodily unconscious' in an age of global warming. Drawing on classic ethnography as well as the work of Benjamin, Burroughs, and Proust, it takes up the notion that color invites the viewer into images.
