Happy to be presenting my book & comic project tonight at the University of Cagliari, during an interdisciplinary seminar as part of my Visiting Professorship.
As I've been spending the past few days translating the 'comic' section of it into French from the original English, and will be presenting this in Italian, it really makes me think about how language shapes how we think and write about the world, beyond images. #geography#visualMethods#ethnography#history#comics#bandeDessinée
In the new episode of New Books Network, we’re discussing my new book ‘The urban life of workers in post-Soviet Russia’ together with sociologist Dr. Anna Zhelnina. Enjoy listening to our conversation!
Read my new post in the blog of Raymond Williams Society. It discusses the concept of structure of feeling that I develop in ethnography of workers' life and struggle in contemporary Russia.
Anthropologist Steven Gonzalez #Monserrate draws on five years of research and ethnographic fieldwork in #server farms to illustrate some of the diverse #environmental impacts of #datastorage.
"The Cloud now has a greater carbon footprint than the airline industry. A single data center can consume the equivalent electricity of 50,000 homes"
"Speculative ethnography can teach us to imagine justice and freedom as attainable in all our first contacts with today’s emerging realities and with the possible, hopefully more just, futures yet to come."
I am pleased. After many years of work, "Ethnomethodology and Ethnography" was published today as a special issue of the journal Qualitative Research.
Many thanks to the editor-in-chief Kate Moles and my co-guest editors Alex Dennis, Clemens Eisenmann and Yaël Kreplak. It really was a productive collaboration. And many thanks to all the authors of the special issue. 😃
📢 Celebrating that "Caring for Methods: 'Care-Ful Method Practice' through Methodography" by @i_ngli & I has been published today! 🎉
📖 In the chapter we advocate for methodography as a genre of care-ful interrogation of method practice in #STSethnography.
📙 The chapter is part of a beautiful collection concerning "Ethical and Methodological Dilemmas in Social Science Interventions" edited by @DorisLinnea & Niels Christian Mossfeldt Nickelsen.
Last November, within the wild space of three weeks, I was in Portland, Oregon, then Toronto, Ontario, presenting papers at two conferences. Both talks have everything to do with change, social and ecological.
“Design ethnography aims to explore the grammar and patterns through which the reality of the lifeworlds it investigates is produced, not to colonise those worlds with their own values”
Francis Müller, “Design Ethnography”, 2021
New paper by the mighty Marco Manca and myself: the big data approach in health care leads to care systems optimized for statistical abstractions rather than actual patients. This introduces epistemological distortions and errors, and runs contrary to the ethics of care and Hippocratic oath. Digital anthropology offers a non-distorsive path to studying human interactions at scale.
Christoph Bareither presents a conceptual framework for exploring the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on museums through ethnographic and qualitative research. He highlights the rapid adoption of AI in museums, citing its influence on various aspects. Bareither emphasizes the need for an interdisciplinary approach to studying the role of AI in museums and introduces the concept of "museum-AI assemblages."#AI#Museums#Ethnography
