The scholars employ a cross-disciplinary approach to explore the intricate interplay between anthropology and design, while their methodologies diverge in their specific considerations of design. Nonetheless, all chapters revolve around the central theme of the relationship between design and anthropology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters delve into three distinct perspectives: anthropology for design, where anthropological methodologies and concepts are integrated into the design process; anthropology of design, where design is positioned as a subject of ethnographic inquiry and critique; and design for anthropology, where anthropologists borrow concepts and practices from design to enrich traditional ethnographic forms. Collectively, the chapters argue that the convergence of design and anthropology holds the potential to transform both fields in multiple ways. Furthermore, to fully comprehend the implications of employing design to reimagine ethnography and vice versa, it is essential to consider the historical context of their entanglements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters in this volume offer valuable insights into the multifaceted relationship between design and anthropology, shedding light on the ways in which these fields can intersect, collaborate, and inspire innovative approaches to understanding and shaping human experiences. By exploring the intersections of design and anthropology, scholars and practitioners alike can gain a deeper appreciation of the complex and dynamic nature of human societies and cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 376g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 152 x 230 x 19 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780826362780                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44096905085178,"sku":"9780826362780","price":29.51,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/48faa7c9cb0ce78890cb894743d94719.jpg?v=1636342518","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/designs-and-anthropologies-frictions-and-affinities","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
