Why should anthropologists draw? The answer proposed in this
groundbreaking volume is that drawing uniquely brings together ways
of making, observing and describing. In twelve chapters, a team of
authors from the UK, Europe, North America and Australia explore
the potential of a graphic anthropology to change the way we think
about creativity and perception, to grasp the dynamics of
improvisatory practice, and to refocus the study of material
culture from ready-made objects onto the flows of materials
involved in the generation of things. Drawing on expertise in
fields ranging from craftwork, martial arts, and dance to
observational cinema and experimental film, they ask what it means
to follow materials, to learn movements and to draw lines. Along
the way, they contribute to key debates on what happens in making,
the relation between design and performance, how people acquire
bodily skills, the place of movement in human self-awareness, the
relation between walking and imagination, and the perception of
time. This book will appeal not just to social, cultural and visual
anthropologists but to archaeologists and students of material
culture, as well as to scholars across the arts, humanities and
social sciences with interests in perception, creativity and
material culture.
