Descrizione

Albert Piette chose to note, regretting that he was not an artist who could express time. As an anthropologist, he has transformed his fear of time into acts of noting that have become central to his own work. His father, his daughters' childhoods, the moments of a day and his experience of a blocked nose are noted. The author's main aim is to show how, on the basis of such daily notes on his own life, it is possible to carry out anthropology. In so doing, he debates with artists, philosophers and anthropologists. Above all, he offers a radically different perspective on anthropology as a theoretical reflection on the resistance of being - the absolute being - from which he draws out the elementary laws of functioning. The book concludes with proposals for an ethics of noting as an antidote to violence.
