Where do forms come from? In this book, anthropologist Tim Ingold proposes to deconstruct the hylomorphic philosophical model which, since Aristotle, has thought of the act of making as the imposition of a form, or a project, on inert matter. This theoretical reversal is only possible thanks to a materialist approach to making that reveals the correspondence of practices with materials, their itinerancy within matter to generate forms. This reflection leads Ingold to propose a participatory pedagogy suggesting a new conception of teaching based on the elucidation of the practices constituting the gestures of making. Anthropology, archaeology, art and architecture are not considered here as academic disciplines, but as ways of doing that each explore, in their own way, the conditions and potential of human life within its environment.
