I swear I saw this : drawings in fieldwork notebooks, namely my own
Taussig, Michael
I swear I saw this : drawings in fieldwork notebooks, namely my own by Michael Taussig - London : University of Chicago Press, ©2011 - xii, 173 p. : ill. ; 23 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
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 it.
