As a Digital Anthropology
A Brief Introduction to Digital Anthropology
A discipline at the intersection of cultural anthropology and binary logic enthusiast, I’m often asked for reading recommendations that are good entry points into the field. I’ve compiled a list of gateway drugs.This is a collection of books, talks, documentaries, articles, and academic papers that are a mix of “essential reads,” plus some of my personal picks.
It will give you a sweeping overview of what digital anthropologists tend to spend their time thinking about and researching.
Most of them aren’t overly academic, so you don’t need to worry about trudging through too much Foucauldian theory or references to Marxist reification (no promises though, sometimes it just comes out of left field).
