Explore 'Towards an Anthropology of Data,' a compelling collection of theoretical essays that examine the multifaceted role of data across various contexts. This groundbreaking book, published by John Wiley & Sons in 2021, offers 180 pages of rich insights into how data intersects with ethnography and anthropology. With an ISBN of 9781119816768, this BRAND NEW volume showcases contributions that illuminate the emergence of data in unexpected locations—from government databases to ecological field stations, and even in domestic settings. Engaging critically with topics like privacy, social identity, and the implications of big data, these essays prompt readers to reconsider traditional anthropological perspectives. As ethnographers increasingly recognize the significance of data in their field sites, this book offers vital frameworks to understand how data shapes and reflects our social world. The authors challenge the notion that data is solely a tool for business or technology, suggesting that it possesses deeper anthropological value. Delve into discussions on the dystopian visions surrounding data, privacy invasions, and political manipulation, while discovering new theoretical interests in data as an anthropological subject. Perfect for scholars, students, and enthusiasts eager to understand data's far-reaching impact, this volume is essential for modern anthropology studies.

Description:
This volume presents a set of theoretically inventive pieces that engage with data across its many locations, from government databases to ecological field stations, from kitchen tables to concrete bunkers.
Contributors demonstrate how thinking with data can be conceptually generative for anthropology, prompting us to reconsider our understanding of topics including bodies, persons, and the social itself
Shows how 'big' data which may have once seemed limited to business or high tech, ethnographers are now finding data “ and its attendant values and practices “ in their field sites around the world
Examines how data has motivated a sweep of dystopian visions, signaling the invasion of privacy, political manipulation, or shadowy data doubles
Discusses how anthropologists have been cautious in taking data itself as an object of theoretical interest, even as the effects of data become manifest in our ethnographies
By putting data in its place, the chapters collected here develop conceptual tools that will prove useful for anthropologists who find 'data' in their data

Soft, Cozy, and Great Quality for the Price!
Size: King, Color: Dark Grey
I’m really happy with this Sasttie King Size Comforter Set. The color is a rich dark grey that looks clean and modern, and it instantly made my bedroom feel more put together. The comforter is surprisingly soft and fluffy without being too heavy, and it keeps me warm throughout the night.
I also love that it comes as a complete 7-piece set—everything matches perfectly, and the fitted sheet stays in place without slipping. The pillowcases and shams add a nice finished look, and the fabric feels comfortable against the skin.
For the price, the quality is honestly impressive. If you want a stylish, comfortable, and convenient bed-in-a-bag set, this one is definitely worth it!
