Abstract (English)

"Mallory Lowe Mpoka brings to life a vibrant sensory-memorial map of her journey toward self-reconciliation as she returns home to Cameroon. Through photography, poetry, and travel accounts, she intertwines personal and collective histories, exploring themes of memorialization, subversion, and representation. With a refreshing auto-ethnographic approach to visual storytelling, Architecture of the Self: What Lives Within Us makes us look and listen deeper, calling for a renewed way to engage with images." --Publisher's website

Résumé

«Mallory Lowe Mpoka donne vie à une vibrante cartographie sensori-mémorielle de son parcours de réconciliation, alors qu’elle entame un retour au Cameroun. Mêlant la photographie, la poésie et les récits de voyage, elle entrelace les histoires individuelles et collectives en explorant les thèmes de la mémoire, de la subversion et de la représentation. Par sa rafraîchissante approche auto-ethnographique de la narration visuelle, Architecture of the Self: What Lives Within Us nous invite à observer et à écouter plus attentivement, appelant au renouvellement de notre relation aux images.» -- Site web de l'éditeur
