Abstract

In this article we intend to introduce some of the main notions and conceptualizations elaborated by two influential British anthropologists: Gregory Bateson (1904-1980) and Tim Ingold (1948-). Throughout the text, articulating a reflection around certain categories developed by these authors, we will propose the idea of a sacred perception attentive to the relations that cross and constitute all the beings and things that inhabit the world. A way of perceiving, knowing and engaging with the environment that does not give up dreams and imagination to conceive other possible ways of living the life and to correspond with everything that surrounds us.
