STRATA

STRATA is a collective work that rethinks how we narrate, live, and experience ethnography. Created by anthropologist-artists, the book combines images, texts, and sounds to allow one to see and feel six research projects conducted in France, Portugal, Romania, and Congo. It explores the relationships between humans and non-humans, colonial memory, climate, time, and the sensory experience of the world. In print and online, STRATA is an experiment in thought, perception, and sensitivity. Form thus becomes also epistemology.

This book is not just read: it is looked at, felt, listened to, and invites readers to immerse themselves in lived, often unspoken, unruly worlds; by reinventing the ways in which research is shared.

To this end, it offers a multimodal reading both in the book and on the website that highlights films, interviews, and other ethnographic traces.

More than an editorial object, STRATA is an experience of thought, vision, and sensitivity.
