Lines need not be straight, strict dividing lines. Lines can connect, trace, and weave. We're interested in Ingold's defense of the humanity of lines.
We're not sure about calling a dotted line a series of moments. isn't every line an infinite series of points?
In elementary school art class, they told us that a line was a dot that took a walk.
STRING THEORY!

The best part of the book. (It) offers what we need. "Everything is a parliament of lines." Favorite parts: Darwin + the dotted line.
Arguments: Inconclusive
Style: Linear, parallel, not meeting, oposite to cover illustration, parallel circuits, they do not conclude.

What is linearity? Is it straight? On a more critical note, is it what he claims it is: rationality and logical progression of reasoning?
Everything is a "parliament" of line -- made up of them and ruled by them.
Why are lines "static" and not associated with all things in the way that things really are -- continuous and connected?
Avery + Aaron
What is not line cannot be defined tangibly, digestible to our logic. Humans are linear thinkers. Color equals otherness, vague, ill-defined. So homophobia is a good parallel when dessecting the notions of what "otherness" is.
