MAKING
Making creates knowledge, builds environments and transforms lives. Anthropology,
archaeology, art and architecture are all ways of making. In this exciting book, Tim
Ingold ties the four disciplines together in a way that has never been attempted before.
Instead of treating art and architecture as compendia of objects for anthropological or
archaeological analysis, Ingold advocates a way of thinking through making in which
sentient practitioners and active materials continually answer to, or ‘correspond’, with
one another in the generation of form.
Making
offers a series of profound reflections on what it means to create things, on
materials and form, the meaning of design, landscape perception, animate life, personal
knowledge and the work of the hand. It draws on examples and experiments ranging
from prehistoric stone tool-making to the building of medieval cathedrals, from round
mounds to monuments, from flying kites to winding string, from drawing to writing.
Tim Ingold
is Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Aberdeen, UK.
His books for Routledge include
Lines, The Perception of the Environment
and
Being Alive.
‘In his latest book, Tim Ingold persuasively argues for anthropology’s transformational
capacity and promotes serious reflection on the need for anthropologists to correspond
with
the world. His focus on handwork in art, building, and the making of tools
beautifully illustrates “thinking through making” and learning by doing. This accessible
book makes an excellent and timely contribution to a core area of anthropological
research, and invites the reader to engage with the fascinating work emerging from it.’
Trevor Marchand,
School of Oriental and African Studies, UK
‘Ingold is a joy to read. With
Making,
he continues to enliven the social sciences with
his distinctively compelling and critical reflections on anthropological, archaeological,
architectural and artistic practices. This volume will be useful to all who are striving to
integrate art and research, making and thinking, practice and theory.’
Ian Alden Russell,
David Winton Bell Gallery, Brown University, USA
‘For architects it is an absolute must to discover and absorb the work of this friendly
outsider whose ideas touch the heart of what we do.’
Lars Spuybroek,
Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
‘Unafraid to ask bold questions and propose daring answers, Tim Ingold has developed
a distinctive voice. In the process, he has staked out an increasingly influential position
that touches on a wide range of disciplines.’
Webb Keane,
University of Michigan, USA
