  1. 1. Lines

    A Brief History

    A philosophical and anthropological meditation on lines as a fundamental mode of making and being in the world, arguing that life is best understood as continuous movements and entanglements—tracing, drawing, walking, weaving—rather than as discrete objects or fixed networks; through close readings of practices from drawing and writing to navigation and craft, the book reframes perception, time, dwelling and social relations as processes of following, extending and responding along lines that mesh people and environments together.
