| Summary: | Michael Taussig is one the most influential English-speaking anthropologists working on Colombia. Based upon his Law in a Lawless Land, the author of the present essay evaluates Taussig’s work as a foreign scholar who reproduces and underlines in his anthropology —both methodologically and in his writing— a series of representations of power and violence in Colombia. The essay is a critical analysis of what an anthropologist is to be within a contemporary setting of war, pain, and suffering. |
