How are walking, weaving, observing, narrating, singing, drawing and writing similar? The answer is that, in one way or another, all of the above are carried out through lines. Seen in this way, the whole of History is a line, made up of little lines. In this book Tim Ingold imagines a world in which everyone and everything is composed of intertwined or interconnected lines and lays the foundations for a new discipline: the anthropological archaeology of the line. Ingold's argument takes us through the music of ancient Greece and contemporary Japan, through Siberian labyrinths and Roman roads, through Chinese calligraphy and the printed alphabet, weaving a path between antiquity and the present. Ingold reveals how our perception of lines has changed over time, with modernity before becoming straight, the line is a set of points, but the postmodern world breaks it up and fragments it to study it better. Tim Ingold uses for his study many disciplines, such as Archaeology, Classical Studies, Art History, Linguistics, Psychology, Musicology, Philosophy and many others. This book takes us on a stimulating intellectual journey that will change the way we see the world and the way we go through it.
