The author describes how through theatres of ecstasy, the State,
for the perpetuation of its spiritual authority, needs to tell
about itself. Developing concepts of the sacred from Bataille, the
post-Surreal College of Sociology, Canetti, Marx, Hobbes and Walter
Benjamin, Taussig creates his own theatre of spirit-possession
utitlizing popular shrines, official monuments and slogans, money,
the police, the freeway system, automobiles, taxis, the stealing of
the sword of the state and, through fetishization of Europe's
(dead) others, Native Americans and people of African descent.
