Two of the key theoretical shifts over the past two decades of critical work have been the ‘visual turn’ and the ‘material turn’. This book argues that these hitherto distinct fields should be understood as in continual dialogue and co-constitution and focuses on reconceptualising the visual as an embodied, material, and often politically-charged realm.
Museums: A Visual Anthropology provides a clear and concise summary of the key ideas, debates and texts of the most important approaches to the study of museums from around the world. The book examines ways to address the social relations of museums, embedded in their sites, collections, and exhibitions, as an integral part of the visual and material culture they comprise.

Migrations d’aventures. Terrains africains
2014, CTHS
Considérer l’aventure comme une clé de lecture permet de jeter un regard décalé sur les migrations africaines et de sortir de l’ombre le caractère incertain et souvent individuel de l’expérience migratoire.

No Matter: Theories and Practices of the Ephemeral Architecture
2013, Ashgate
How do digital media (mobile phones, GPS, iPods, portable computers, internet, virtual realities, etc.) affect the way we perceive, inhabit and design space? Why do architects traditionally design, draw and map the visual, as opposed to other types of sensations of space (the sound, the smell, the texture, etc.)?
