Making creates knowledge, builds environments and transforms lives. Anthropology, archaeology, art and architecture are all ways of making, and all are dedicated to exploring the conditions and potentials of human life. In this exciting book, Tim Ingold ties the four disciplines together in a way that has never been attempted before. In a radical departure from conventional studies that treat art and architecture as compendia of objects for analysis, Ingold proposes an anthropology and archaeology not of but with art and architecture. He 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. The book will appeal to students and practitioners alike, with interests in social and cultural anthropology, archaeology, architecture, art and design, visual studies and material culture.
Tim Ingold is Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Aberdeen, UK. His books include Lines, The Perception of the Environment and Being Alive.

一部融合了人类学、艺术、建筑、考古的课程讲义的作品。前五章的论证思考比较整齐,不论是一个柳条编织的篮子,烧纸砖块,还是建造一栋教堂,现实世界从来就不是图像印刷出实体物的过程,而是手、材料、自然之间伴随着运动不断矛盾地彼此对话、咬合、协调的过程,即便在设计层面来衡量,实物的实现程度只在于还原的程序规范、完善与否,而生命的质地恰恰是在making的层面发生的。更精彩的是后三章的论述,从身体的物性出发,... 一部融合了人类学、艺术、建筑、考古的课程讲义的作品。前五章的论证思考比较整齐,不论是一个柳条编织的篮子,烧纸砖块,还是建造一栋教堂,现实世界从来就不是图像印刷出实体物的过程,而是手、材料、自然之间伴随着运动不断矛盾地彼此对话、咬合、协调的过程,即便在设计层面来衡量,实物的实现程度只在于还原的程序规范、完善与否,而生命的质地恰恰是在making的层面发生的。更精彩的是后三章的论述,从身体的物性出发,模糊了人与物之间的边界,而非强调物的能动性。从手的功能出发,让原本让位于大脑地位的手来主导,讲述手在创作中与作品的缠斗与共谋。线条亦是如此。所谓两点之间直线最短,应当去追问的是,我们为什么要服从于某种必然:成为一个“直线人”?

Making是将作为外在参与者的制造者置于活跃的物质世界之中,这些物质是我们work with,而不是work on,这就指出了物质独立于人的意图之外的自主性,即物质既有人类社会的文化属性也有其自身物理特性。因此,毋宁说物质不是本质地静态存在着,等待文化或历史等外力去塑造完成,而是持续地承载着不同时间的特点不断形成着(becoming)。Making作为互动(interaction)与沟通(cor... Making是将作为外在参与者的制造者置于活跃的物质世界之中,这些物质是我们work with,而不是work on,这就指出了物质独立于人的意图之外的自主性,即物质既有人类社会的文化属性也有其自身物理特性。因此,毋宁说物质不是本质地静态存在着,等待文化或历史等外力去塑造完成,而是持续地承载着不同时间的特点不断形成着(becoming)。Making作为互动(interaction)与沟通(correspondence)的过程,将现象世界中物质的潜在特质抽出来使其进入“形成”的复杂迷宫中。由此延伸,人类学也是study with而不是study of的学科 (展开)
