This book about the history and present of dorboz, a cultural group from Central Asia, focuses on the concept of collection. The book is the result of a critique of conventional knowledge dissemination in the academic field.

It does not simply present interpretations through the isolated thoughts of a single scholar. Instead, by deconstructing the individual parts of this book (library, field notes, and intertextual text), the reader is encouraged to engage in active reading and ultimately take interpretive initiative.

Available to the reader are the pathways to the library – excerpts from historical texts relating to theatrical groups, interviews, and field notes – as well as the cabin with cases for those who wish to explore the life and culture of dorboz.

All parts of the book are connected by the empty space where the reader's thoughts can begin.
