Design is a key site of cultural production and change in
contemporary society. Anthropologists have been involved in design
projects for several decades but only recently a new field of
inquiry has emerged which aims to integrate the strengths of design
thinking and anthropological research.This book is written by
anthropologists who actively participate in the development of
design anthropology. Comprising both cutting-edge explorations and
theoretical reflections, it provides a much-needed introduction to
the concepts, methods, practices and challenges of the new field.
"Design Anthropology" moves from observation and interpretation to
collaboration, intervention and co-creation. Its practitioners
participate in multidisciplinary design teams working towards
concrete solutions for problems that are sometimes ill-defined. The
authors address the critical potential of design anthropology in a
wide range of design activities across the globe and query the
impact of design on the discipline of anthropology.This volume will
appeal to new and experienced practitioners in the field as well as
to students of anthropology, innovation, science and technology
studies, and a wide range of design studies focusing on user
participation, innovation, and collaborative research.
