... For many animals-no more so than with humans-culture is a vital and central aspect of biological evolution-a second inheritance system based on learning from others, or what Andrew Whiten (2017, p. 1) termed "the extension of biology through culture." And despite the misguided notion behind some anthropologists and archaeologists calling for the dismissal of inheritance in cultural evolution altogether (e.g., Ingold 2022Ingold , 2024Frieman 2024), it is that inheritance system that creates cultural lineages. In short, if variation were not inherited, cultures could not evolve (Bentley and O'Brien 2024). ...

... Essas são perguntas iniciais que permitem refletir as técnicas de escrita e a construção do "outro" (Thomas, 1991) dentro do cenário antropológico e como alguns(mas) autores(as) têm buscado realizar críticas no sentido de diminuir as distâncias da observação à escrita com as comunidades estudadas. Através da linguagem verbal vários(as) foram os(as) autores(as) que discutiram os distanciamentos e generalizações (Fabian, 2013;Ingold, 2015;Strathern, 1996) gerados pela escrita etnográfica e as interpretações antropológicas. Podemos também destacar a obra de James Clifford A experiência etnográfica: antropologia e literatura no século XX (2002) e a obra da autora Marylin Strathern que com sua sofisticação discursiva em O efeito etnográfico e outros ensaios (2014), expõem alguns problemas de representação que surgem na produção etnográfica da antropologia clássica e de seus contemporâneos. ...

... Portanto, é no âmbito de uma paisagem de relações e continuidades que criamos um horizonte possível de compreender e situar os seres-humanos e os não-humanos, nos entrelaces dessas contradições e interfaces dos emaranhados. Nesta perspectiva compreendemos o lugar evolutivo dos ambientes e suas múltiplas atividades como o ato da cognição humana e a respiração, por exemplo (Ingold, 2023b). A vida humana e nãohumana se entrelaça em um vórtice em evolução. ...

... Aqui, os começos produzem finais, e são produzidos por eles. Cada fim não é um terminal, mas um momento ao longo do caminho (Ingold, 2023c). que pareciam 'claras e distintas' passam para essa compreensão do campo, desencadeiam-se em processos de esboços sem formas, viscosos em traços e linhas que sobressaem as partes fixas e determinadas, o que conta é o movimento e traços incompletos, sem linearidades ou mesmo as formas perfeitas, em uma fruição dos processos criativos para a pesquisa. ...

... Another particularly powerful attempt is by anthropologist Tim Ingold in his article Evolution without Inheritance: Steps to an Ecology of Learning (Ingold, 2022). Ingold notes: "Attempts to integrate human culture, history, or symbolic imagination into a comprehensive theory of evolution have, up to now, foundered on a bifurcation between mind and nature deeply embedded in the project of modern science. ...

... Although Rambo never delved deeper into the processuality of modes of contact, I find it worthwhile to braid his fundamental argument on impression point in looking at conversion with the ways social theorists have domesticated the category of 'affordance', building on the seminal work of Gibson (1979) in environmental psychology. In anthropology, affordance theory has been tightly associated with the essays of Tim Ingold (2002Ingold ( , 2022. 2 The project of affordances in anthropology proposed to shift the focus away from the overbearing role of culture in the organization of sensory data and onto the immediacy of the concrete, everyday contact between an object, a person or other environmental entities (the 'affordant', or the advocate, to stay with Rambo's vocabulary) and a subject-perceiver. The consequence of the encounter on the subject is under-determined. ...

... This conceptual work accounts for the educating people to be sensitive to the multiple perspectives of people's lives. It calls for an education that fosters sensitivity, sensibility, and more careful attention to the signs emitted in one's milieu (Held, 2005;Ingold, 2023;Morizot, 2022). This opens further discussions about how the aesthetics of the possible highlights three societal considerations that can be succinctly outlined as follows. ...

The Aesthetics of the Possible

... Certain non-human animals, plants, hills, mountains, rivers, lakes, stones and artefacts can have a soul. Moreover, in contrast to the Western equation of one soul per individual, most living beings, human as well as non-human, have several souls that relate to the material body and its properties or, in the case of landscape features and things, its form and material presence in the world (Ingold, 2022; see also Armit, this volume). These are the most basic premises for the various kinds of animistic syncretisms existing worldwide, and how this network of reciprocal interdependence, or correspondences, as Ingold (2011aIngold ( , 2022 terms it in his later publications, works and how they are ontologically and culturally understood will vary between different groups of animists. ...

... As Ingold and his collaborators argue, contemporary environmental crises make it necessary to abandon rigid distinctions -especially the one between solidity and fluidity. A common partition of reality into blocks, consisting of solid material objects on the one hand and fluid and subjectively interpretable ones on the other, simply cannot help in grasping the flowing materiality -especially the one involving climate change (Simonetti & Ingold, 2018; see also : Clark et al. 2022). With an aim of elucidating a continuum of human-environment interactions, it is necessary to break away from the entrenched assumptions that prevent thinking on materiality as characterized concurrently with plasticity, viscosity, and elasticity, as well as from keeping the culture as a realm where "fluidity" originates. ...

... First, we underscore the mobile capacities of water to re-spatialise deathly matter through flow, infiltration, permeation, evaporation, or freezing, while simultaneously stressing the specific water qualities and properties that differentiate waters and inform our recognition that water must always be understood as a waterbody (Peterson 2020). Second, following Tim Ingold and Cristián Simonetti's inquiry into 'solid fluids' -of which we take the paradigmatic example to be water -BDS is interested in the ways in which matter "exists in a continuous flux" (Ingold, Simonetti 2022, 3) on the solid-fluid continuum, but is made intelligible through their duration as "forms [that] last long enough to be recognizable" (10). In doing so, BDS walks with the staccato interruptions and long-flowing durations of and in time that solid fluids represent. ...
