What do walking, weaving, watching, singing, storytelling, drawing and writing have in common? The answer is that they all happen along lines. In this extraordinary book, British anthropologist Tim Ingold imagines a world in which everything and everyone is made of intertwined or interconnected lines, and lays the foundations for a new discipline: the comparative anthropology of line. Ingold’s research takes readers from the music of ancient Greece to that of modern Japan, from Siberian labyrinths to Native American weaving, from Australian Aboriginal song trails to Roman roads, and from Chinese calligraphy to the printed alphabet, tracing a path between the ancient and the modern. Drawing on a variety of disciplines—archaeology, classical philology, art history, linguistics, psychology, musicology, philosophy, and many others—and featuring more than seventy illustrations, this work takes us on a fascinating intellectual journey that will change the way we see the world and how we live in it.
