Michael Taussig, a renowned scholar, will be delivering a captivating lecture titled "Michael Taussig: Shadowless Being" at Classics 110 in Chicago. In this thought-provoking lecture, Taussig will dive into the concept of apotropaisms, which refers to the use of magic against magic in language and writing. He will draw attention to the limitations of conventional social science practices, specifically targeting "agribusiness writing." Taussig will contrast this with the dynamic and unpredictable nature of the Corn Wolf, as influenced by Wittgenstein's critique of Frazer. By emphasizing the magical elements embedded within our language and academic discourse, Taussig aims to raise awareness of their impact and significance. Additionally, he will explore the concept of apotropaisms as a means of survival for writers, and the emergence of organic fetishes resulting from research and writing endeavors. This intriguing event is open to the public, and attendance is free of charge. For any accommodation needs to ensure your full participation, please reach out to ccct@uchicago.edu. Don't miss this opportunity to delve into the realm of magic and language with Michael Taussig at Classics 110 in Chicago.

Chicago&#39;s most worthwhile attractions&mdash;do your homework and you can spend a lot of time exploring. [The following appears unrelated and likely a separate topic:] Van Gogh, Seurat, Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, and some bronzes from the China Pavilion. This close encounter with art and history is incredibly satisfying and enriching.

It&#39;s worth visiting, but the price is a bit high, so it doesn&#39;t feel like great value for money. There&#39;s a slanted window inside that offers a downward view of the city, but that costs extra. Overall, it doesn&#39;t feel like good value for money.

The John Hancock Center is a place you can visit by appointment. Group tours in Chicago generally do not include activities in this place, but you can stop by here when you are traveling on your own to get to know some of the characteristics of American architecture and culture.

Grant Park is also a good place to visit for free. The most common people you see are locals doing outdoor sports. Running is very popular and can be seen at different times of the day. There are also some people walking their dogs.
