Tarde is a printed, independent, and peer-feedback publication with an online presence that explores the often unnoticed and taken-for-granted elements and associations composing the urban. Appealing to its shape, Tarde has been conceived as a handbook: a compact and portable pocket device that delves into one topic per issue.

The publication combines urban ethnography, empirical philosophy, and data visualization through a crafting process experimenting with different formats, materials, and topics to create minor ethnographic stories and promote a collaborative environment across elements, disciplines, locations, and perspectives.
