Abstract

Este maravilloso libro de estudios de caso acerca del impacto de las máquinas en las regiones aisladas de América Latina cristaliza la revolución copernicana que se está produciendo en la vida cotidiana, así como en la imaginación del tiempo y el espacio, el yo y el cosmos. El centro neurálgico del volumen es la exploración del accidente que, al igual que el shock del choque, lo pone todo «en suspenso», incluida la teoría y la práctica de la antropología. Michael Taussig, Columbia University
