Anthropology has never been monomodal, although it may seem that the recent explosion of interest in multimodal, more-than-textual research would suggest otherwise. So we are always on the lookout for multimodal examples from our discipline’s past. In this post we highlight the recent discovery of an experimental multimodal urban research project from the history of our own institute, dating back almost two decades.
