Public Lecture with Michael Taussig
- Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2019, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
- Location: G04 Napier Building, University of Adelaide
In his free public lecture chaired by esteemed professor Stephen Muecke, acclaimed anthropologist Professor Michael Taussig will attempt to figure out the mastery of non-mastery. He will pause on Marcel Proust’s alignment of the mimesis between wasp and orchid as consonant with that of the sexual encounter between a baron and a tailor—prelude to his thoughts on inter-species sex, shamanism, and paramilitary massacres as copies chasing copies. Through these pauses, Michael will speculate on the fate of the mimetic faculty in relation to global meltdown and metamorphic sublimity.
