Paying Attention to the Coming Commons

In this interview with Martin Givors and Jacopo Rasmi, anthropologist Tim Ingold discusses the political implications of his previous and current work. He suggests a number of ways in which the questions of lines, attention, education, wayfaring or dwelling elaborated in his books and articles might shed a relevant light on issues of democracy, community, freedom and diversity. He comes to the conclusion that art and anthropology can be brought together into correspondence with a rethinking of democracy as a way of leading common life through differentiation and attention.
