Inhabiting the World
Is there a real difference between nature and culture? What does our relation with animals tells us about our own humanity? After centuries of seeing humanity as something separate from the world, what would it mean to go back to it? Anthropologist Tim Ingold and writer Philip Hoare look at these questions about the role of humankind in the world.
Philip Hoare
The Sea as a Border
In this lecture, the writer Philip Hoare departs from the notion of the sea as a border, and reflects on the hope it offers migrants, the terror it brings and how the whale is freighted with all the meanings underlying our separation from natural world.

An Ecology of Life
Is there truly a difference between nature and culture? What does our relationship with animals reveal about our own humanity? After centuries of perceiving humanity as somehow separate from the world, what would it mean to return to it? For Tim Ingold, anthropology is not about collecting data on human societies and cultures. Rather, it is about engaging in the lives of others to explore the possibilities of life on this world.
