Created by the French Ministry of Culture in 1983, the journal Terrain takes a singular look at contemporary societies, fostered by ethnographic description and an openness to other human and social sciences. The journal produces themed issues twice a year, published by the Terrain Association (in print and digital versions), and also publishes online-only articles under five headings, as well as producing the blog Carnets de Terrain, a vast digital environment for discussion of current affairs, original research, as well as posts that take up the themed issues of the journal

Noise, chemicals, fine particles, VOCs, electromagnetic waves, background noise, telluric networks, desert sands... In the age of climate change, how are other forms of sensitivity born and cultivated? How far can we vary our thresholds of perception? With or without technology, how can we survey the limits of the phenomenal and make ourselves sensitive to new components of the world?

This issue is available in bookstores since September the 3rd, 2022 in its paper version, increased with a rich iconography, at the price of 23€.
