Beyond Perception

This book showcases the way a range of scholars have engaged with Tim Ingoldâs opus since the publication of his ground-breaking The Perception of the Environment in 2000. Ingoldâs work has become key for a variety of disciplines ranging from anthropology archaeology and human geography to art architecture design and studies of material and visual culture. As set out in The Perception of the Environment and subsequent publications Ingold proposed an understanding of the world that placed sentient remembering and imagining organisms or inhabitants some of them human at the heart of an extensive field of socio-ecological relations. In this work Ingold develops broad-ranging analyses of personhood knowledge and skills among many other topics. This volume sets out to synthesize critical scholarship drawing on Ingoldâs work to lay out its principles methods and results and to demonstrate its contribution to reshaping both contemporary anthropology and wider intellectual terrains. By bringing together chapters from a variety of scholars all critically furthering Ingoldâs proposals the book advances a paradigm change occurring in various academic disciplines from âœfixistâ to âœemergenceâ onto/epistemologies. .
