Recenzii

'Imagining for Real demonstrates beyond doubt why Tim Ingold is one of the most original thinkers of our time.’
Arturo Escobar, University of Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA.
‘With the publication of Imagining for Real, Tim Ingold completes the landmark trilogy that secures his standing among a very select group of writers that have the power to transform our thinking about life’s most basic questions. To read these lucid, insightful, and compelling essays is to discover oneself stitched into a dynamic world overflowing with possibilities. It is to know and feel oneself more fully alive. I can’t recommend this work highly enough.’
Norman Wirzba, Duke Divinity School, USA.
‘An inspiring, profound, theoretically scintillating, yet refreshingly down-to-earth account of human imagination, Imagining for Real is the book we need to navigate reality in the 21st century.’
Jill Bennett, University of New South Wales, Australia.
‘Tim Ingold offers a compelling and original treatise on humans and their relations with the world. Addressing a variety of classic and emerging issues in plain language, this book is a tour de force, acutely relevant for our times.’
Gísli Pálsson, University of Iceland.
‘Ingold’s distinctive sense of direction and wayfinding allows him to travel into unmapped territories. Imagining for Real takes us on such a journey along previously unknown paths that connect imagination and reality. Along the way we get to know ‘creation from the inside’ and to ‘imagine for real’ using anthropology’s transformational capacity. Never before has a book made this journey possible.’
Lambros Malafouris, University of Oxford, UK.
‘Imagining for Real is genuine Ingold, featuring the author’s unique ability for concrete-abstract thinking.’
Ton Otto, Aarhus University, Denmark.
