Description
Digital Anthropology: Second Edition by Hannah Knox and Haidy Geismar explores how humans interact with technology in diverse ways. This revised edition examines issues such as social media, virtual worlds, hacking, quantified self, blockchain, digital environmentalism, and digital representation through a range of case studies from around the globe. The book challenges traditional views on the impact of digital culture by applying ethnographic scrutiny to uncover its profound consequences for everyday life. With new chapters on topics like hacking and digitizing environments, this edition brings the field-defining overview of digital anthropology fully up to date. A new introduction sets the stage for a comprehensive understanding of digital anthropology, making it an essential resource for students and scholars in fields such as theory of anthropology, media and information studies, communication studies, and sociology.
