Abstract

Où qu'ils aillent et quoi qu'ils fassent, les hommes tracent des lignes : marcher, écrire, dessiner ou tisser sont des activités où les lignes sont omniprésentes, au même titre que l'usage de la voix, des mains ou des pieds. Dans Une brève histoire des lignes, l'anthropologue anglais Tim Ingold pose les fondements de ce que pourrait être une "anthropologie comparée de la ligne" - et, au-delà, une véritable anthropologie du graphisme. Etayé par de nombreux cas de figure (des pistes chantées des Aborigènes australiens aux routes romaines, de la calligraphie chinoise à l'alphabet imprimé, des tissus amérindiens à l'architecture contemporaine), l'ouvrage analyse la production et l'existence des lignes dans l'activité humaine quotidienne. Tim Ingold divise ces lignes en deux genres - les traces et les fils - avant de montrer que l'un et l'autre peuvent fusionner ou se transformer en surfaces et en motifs. Selon lui, l'Occident a progressivement changé le cours de la ligne, celle-ci perdant peu à peu le lien qui l'unissait au geste et à sa trace pour tendre finalement vers l'idéal de la modernité : la ligne droite. Cet ouvrage s'adresse autant à ceux qui tracent des lignes en travaillant (typographes, architectes, musiciens, cartographes) qu'aux calligraphes et aux marcheurs - eux qui n'en finissent jamais de tracer des lignes car quel que soit l'endroit où l'on va, on peut toujours aller plus loin.

Abstract

To live, every being must put out a line, and in life these lines tangle with one another. This book is a study of the life of lines. Following on from Tim Ingold's groundbreaking work Lines: A Brief History, it offers a wholly original series of meditations on life, ground, weather, walking, imagination and what it means to be human. In the first part, Ingold argues that a world of life is woven from knots, and not built from blocks as commonly thought. He shows how the principle of knotting underwrites both the way things join with one another, in walls, buildings and bodies, and the composition of the ground and the knowledge we find there. In the second part, Ingold argues that to study living lines, we must also study the weather. To complement a linealogy that asks what is common to walking, weaving, observing, singing, storytelling and writing, he develops a meteorology that seeks the common denominator of breath, time, mood, sound, memory, colour and the sky. This denominator is the atmosphere. In the third part, Ingold carries the line into the domain of human life. He shows that for life to continue, the things we do must be framed within the lives we undergo. In continually answering to one another, these lives enact a principle of correspondence that is fundamentally social.This compelling volume brings our thinking about the material world refreshingly back to life. While anchored in anthropology, the book ranges widely over an interdisciplinary terrain that includes philosophy, geography, sociology, art and architecture.

Abstract

In our digital world, we owe much of our ability to communicate to the punctuation marks, mathematical symbols, and other glyphs that hover on the edges of our keyboard. Without these symbols, it would be impossible to convey meaning--our words would run in endless unbroken lines of letters and numbers. These marks, which have their origins in the earliest written communications, have evolved over many hundreds of years. Hyphens & Hashtags presents the histories of these stalwart symbols, revealing the long road many have taken on their way to general usage. In the age of digital communication, some symbols have gained additional meanings. The obscure pound sign has transformed into the hashtag, an essential component of social media. The colon now serves double duty as the eyes of the smiley-face emoticon. Alongside the historical roots of these tools, this book also considers ever-evolving modern usage and uncovers those symbols which have now fallen out of fashion. Hyphens & Hashtags casts a well-deserved spotlight on these deceptively simple marks, whose handy knack for conveying meaning in simple shorthand can marshal our sentences, clarify a calculation, or add some much-needed emotion to our online interactions.

Abstract

The first-ever illustrated history of the iconic designs, symbols, and graphic art representing more than 5 decades of LGBTQ pride and activism--from the evolution of Gilbert Baker's rainbow flag to the NYC Pride typeface launched in 2017 and beyond.0Organized by decade beginning with Pre-Liberation and then spanning the 1970s through the millennium, QUEER X DESIGN will be an empowering, uplifting, and colorful celebration of the hundreds of graphics-from shapes and symbols to flags and iconic posters-that have stood for the powerful and ever-evolving LGBTQ movement over the last five-plus decades. Included in the collection will be everything from Gilbert Baker's original rainbow flag, ACT-UP's Silence = Death poster, the AIDS quilt, and Keith Haring's "Heritage of Pride" logo, as well as the original Lavender Menace t-shirt design, logos such as "The Pleasure Chest," protest buttons such as "Anita Bryant Sucks Oranges," and so much more. Sidebars throughout will cover important visual grouping such as a "Lexicon of Pride Flags," explaining the now more than a dozen flags that represent segments of the community and the evolution of the pink triangle.
