Lines

The book "Lines" by Tim Ingold offers a fascinating exploration of the connections between various human activities such as walking, weaving, observing, and storytelling. Ingold develops the idea that everything in the world consists of interwoven lines and presents a novel discipline that he refers to as the anthropological archaeology of the line. Through a variety of disciplines, including archaeology, art history, and linguistics, the author takes readers on an intellectual journey that spans from the music of ancient Greece to contemporary Japanese culture. With over seventy illustrations, the book becomes a visual and intellectual experience that fundamentally changes our perspective on the world and our interactions within it. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by the author, providing additional insights.
