This book roots the bringing together of ethnography and design
firmly in social science theory, showing readers how to best use
theory in design ethnography and how to develop a coherent
relationship between research and practice. It promotes
interdisciplinarity and collaboration, and takes design ethnography
beyond the content of the 'project' to ask how it contributes to a
wider agenda for a better world and the creation of ethical and
responsible futures.
Examines emergent technologies and systems Considers the
implications and practicalities of an imagined future Demonstrates
the value of anthropology in an increasingly technological world

As the distinction between the digital and the material world
becomes increasingly blurred, the ways in which we think about
design are also shifting and evolving. How can the human, digital
and material be brought together to intervene in the world? What
constitutes our digital-material environments? How can we engage
with digital technologies to make sustainable, healthy and
meaningful decisions, both now and in the future? Digital
Materialities presents twelve chapters by scholars and
practitioners working at the intersection between design and
digital research in the UK, Spain, Australia and the USA. By
incorporating in-depth understandings of the digital-material world
from both the social sciences and design, the book considers how
this combined knowledge might advance our capacity to design for
the future. Divided into three parts, the focus of the book moves
from the theoretical to the practical: how different digital
materialities are imagined and emerge, through software emulation,
urban sensors and smart homes; how new digital designs are sparked
through collaborations between social scientists and designers; and
finally, how digital design emerges from the insider work of
everyday designers. A fascinating, ground-breaking book for
students and scholars of digital anthropology, media and
communication, and anyone interested in the future of digital
design.
