Arpentage: collective reading

But actually, what is a "surveying" (arpentage)? Surveying is a collective reading method that allows discovering a book together. Its principle is simple: a work is shared into different parts, read individually and then pooled during a discussion time. "Surveying" a book is experiencing a collaborative and accessible reading, particularly suited to works that may seem intimidating due to their length or theoretical nature.
