Description
Design Anthropological Futures explores the focus of design anthropology on futures and future-making. The authors examine what design anthropology is and what it's becoming, pushing the frontiers of the discipline to reveal its challenges and potential. The book is divided into four sections, each offering insights into the central theoretical and methodological aspects of future knowledge production in design anthropology. With contributions from renowned scholars and young experimental design anthropologists, sixteen chapters provide a breadth of theoretical reflections and rich empirical case studies. This book is a valuable resource for students, scholars, and practitioners in design anthropology, design, architecture, material culture studies, and related fields, offering an unparalleled understanding of the discipline's growth and development.
