Mimesis and Alterity

- A Particular History of the Senses

Om Mimesis and Alterity

This ambitious work explores the complex and interwoven concepts of mimesis, the practice of imitation, and alterity, the opposition of Self and Other. Drawing on the ideas of Benjamin, Adorno and Horckheimer and ethnographic accounts of the Cuna, Taussig demonstrates how the history of mimesis is deeply tied to colonialism and the idea of alterity has become increasingly unstable. Twenty years after the original publication, Taussig revisits the work in a new preface which contextualises the impact of Mimesis and Alterity. Vigorous and unorthodox, this cross-cultural discussion continues to deepen our understanding of the relationship between ethnography, racism and society.
