In Lines: A Brief History, Tim Ingold explores the concept of lines as fundamental to human experience. Walking, weaving, observing, storytelling, singing, drawing, and writing all proceed along lines, forming the basis for a new discipline: the anthropological archaeology of the line. Through his argument, Ingold connects a diverse range of topics, from the music of Ancient Greece and contemporary Japan to Siberian labyrinths and Roman roads, and from Chinese calligraphy to the printed alphabet. Drawing on various disciplines, including archaeology, art history, and psychology, this book offers an exhilarating intellectual journey, encouraging readers to reconsider how they engage with the world and navigate through it.
