Special issue of the Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute



2024
Cover



I had the pleasure to merge my two passions, illustration and anthropology, for my friend Sam Victor and his colleague Danny who have edited a great issue of the Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, a major scientific publication in anthropology.

The issue is about 'religious suasion', a concept they coined to describe more accurately the breadth of the transformational phenomena they've witnessed in their research. In their own words, "focusing on the rhetorical strategies, religious imaginaries, and ethical evaluations that underpin how religious actors pursue religious change in others and in and of the world, ‘religious suasion’ contributes to the development of an anthropology of influence."

I aslo animated the cover for the online release of the journal.
