Resumo

In The Perception of the Environment, Tim Ingold offers a powerful critique of traditional approaches to understanding the relationship between human beings and their surroundings. He argues against the Cartesian dualism that separates mind from body and culture from nature, proposing instead a relational and phenomenological perspective. Ingold emphasizes the importance of skilled practice, arguing that perception is not a passive reception of sensory information but an active and embodied engagement with the world. Drawing on a wide range of ethnographic and philosophical sources, he explores how people perceive and inhabit their environments through practices such as hunting, fishing, weaving, and storytelling. The book challenges conventional notions of landscape and place, highlighting the dynamic and interconnected nature of human-environment relations. Key themes include the role of movement and mobility in shaping perception, the significance of dwelling and inhabitation, and the embodied nature of knowledge and skill.
