Using an assemblage approach to study how Muslim women in Norrebro,
Denmark use their phones, Karen Waltorp examines how social media
complicates the divide between public and private in relation to a
group of people who find this distinction of utmost significance.
Building on years of ethnographic fieldwork, Waltorp's ethnography
reflects the trust and creativity of her relationships with these
women which in turn open up nuanced discussions about both the
subject at hand and best practice in conducting anthropological
research. Combining rich ethnography with theoretical
contextualization, Waltorp's book alternates between ethnography
and analysis to illuminate a thoroughly modern community, and
reveals the capacity of image-making technology to function as an
infrastructure for seeing, thinking and engaging in fieldwork as an
anthropologists. Waltorp identifies a series of important issues
around anthropological approaches to new media, contributing to new
debates around the anthropology of automation, data and
self-tracking.
