Anthropology is a disciplined inquiry into the conditions and potentials of human life. Generations of theorists, however, have expunged life from their accounts, treating it as the mere output of patterns, codes, structures or systems variously defined as genetic or cultural, natural or social. Building on his classic work The Perception of the Environment, Tim Ingold sets out to restore life to where it should belong, at the heart of anthropological concern.Being Alive ranges over such themes as the vitality of materials, what it means to make things, the perception and formation of the ground, the mingling of earth and sky in the weatherworld, the experiences of light, sound and feeling, the role of storytelling in the integration of knowledge, and the potential of drawing to unite observation and description.Our humanity, Ingold argues, does not come readymade but is continually fashioned in our movements along ways of life. Starting from the idea of life as a process of wayfaring, Ingold presents a radically new understanding of movement, knowledge and description as dimensions not just of being in the world, but of being alive to what is going on there.

I picked this up for a book club and it sparked some really interesting discussions. The essays on movement are unique and provide a fresh take on knowledge. Would recommend for anyone looking to think deeply about these topics.

Not what I expected
I thought this book would be more about practical movement techniques, but it’s very philosophical. If you’re looking for essays that dive deep into theory, this is for you, but I personally wanted something more hands-on.
