Summary:
Michael Taussig, figure majeure quoique controversée de l'anthropologie anglo-saxonne, s'attache à mettre en évidence la fonction heuristique des croquis et dessins réalisés par l'ethnographe dans ses carnets de notes. Si ce texte personnel apporte une contribution précieuse à la réflexion sur l'enquête de terrain et la manière dont les savoirs s'y agencent, sa portée dépasse largement le cadre de l'ethnographie. Taussig y déploie en effet une réflexion pénétrante sur le pouvoir des images à ressaisir la réalité et à capter ce qui semble résister à la verbalisation. En retour, l'écriture si singulière de l'auteur porte, par les nombreuses références littéraires qui la parsèment et son style même, une interrogation tout aussi profonde sur le rapport du langage à la vérité et sur la dimension fictionnelle inhérente à tout discours, fut-il scientifique.

Summary:
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.
