I Swear I Saw This
Author: Michael Taussig
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226789845
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 187
Book Description
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 the inner and outer worlds in a fashion reminiscent of Brion Gysin and William Burroughs’s surreal cut-up technique. Focusing on the small details and observations that are lost when writers convert their notes into finished pieces, Taussig calls for new ways of seeing and using the notebook as form. Memory emerges as a central motif in I Swear I Saw This as he explores his penchant to inscribe new recollections in the margins or directly over the original entries days or weeks after an event. This palimpsest of afterthoughts leads to ruminations on Freud’s analysis of dreams, Proust’s thoughts on the involuntary workings of memory, and Benjamin’s theories of history—fieldwork, Taussig writes, provokes childhood memories with startling ease. I Swear I Saw This exhibits Taussig’s characteristic verve and intellectual audacity, here combined with a revelatory sense of intimacy. He writes, “drawing is thus a depicting, a hauling, an unraveling, and being impelled toward something or somebody.” Readers will exult in joining Taussig once again as he follows the threads of a tangled skein of inspired associations.

Excitement blossoms in Michael's heart when he learns the opportunity has arisen to perfect his magic at Thorn Valley, where no one knows him. He goes without hesitation. Being a king's son has its ups and downs. Fitting in is tough for Michael, the young wizard-prince. People either worship you or treat you with disdain, but Michael just wants to be one of the crowd. Meanwhile, mighty sorcerer James Barclay, Michael's unknown uncle, who runs Thorn Valley surreptitiously seeks his demise, invoking his right to the throne of the kingdom of Livingstone, which he claims Michael's father stole from him. With a false name and changed identity, he will use all the resources at his disposal to wrench the secret code of the king's power out of Michael in a cold-blooded attempt to kill them both. Meanwhile, only Michael knows the secret code of his father's powers and enjoys the protection of the almighty spirits of his kingdom. Michael's adventures begin when he befriends thirteen-year-old Lee at Thorn Valley. As they inadvertently wander from town and into the mystical world around it, the pair face life-threatening, heart-pounding trials by sorcerers, wizards, and mystical beasts. Although Michael believes he is on a mission to perfect his magic, he is unsure why they are eager to kill him, unaware that Barclay is the mastermind behind it all. With the help of two beautiful young twins, Azashema and Joan, Michael manages to survive the initial attacks, but his epic journey has just begun.

Turning Point is a book of lessons masked and weaved among stories of pain, misfortune, and enlightenment. It was written with the intent to bring an understanding and awareness to both our kids and the people responsible for their development.

It also speaks to the realities of poverty and social/environmental neglect that some kids experience in their day-to-day lives and the huge role it plays in their unwillingness and readiness to participate properly in an organized school setting.
