La vida de las líneas

by Tim Ingold

En La vida de las líneas, Ingold desarrolla una antropología filosófica y ecológica que es a la vez amplia, integradora e inclusiva. Su narrativa es poética y entrelaza cuerpos, mentes, paisajes, topografías y percepciones en un encuentro de líneas. Nos lleva en un viaje a través de movimientos, nudos, climas, atmósferas y superficies guiándonos hacia una conclusión humanar es un verbo.

Reviews

[Camila Ausente · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hermoso e incomprensible. En mi cabeza, constantemente un: ¿Qué es esto que estoy leyendo? / inclasificable, libre. Súper abstracto. Pero algo ahí se queda sobre observar y conectar (líneas, ¡líneas!) y pensar el mundo “con” (a diferencia de un “desde”). Lo pongo en el cajón de los que van más allá de la forma, o buscan la forma propia de lo que escriben-piensan.
Bello.

Wow, this book really helped me understand what is going on out there, really. It's about the nature of reality. We are growing up out of the earth, mingling with the atmosphere and connected to everything in ways the author describes quite clearly.

Simply love that way of thinking. Mindblowing. Must-read for anybody willing to think outside the usual boxes.
