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

Really great sheet set.
Color: White, Size: Queen
This is the best sheet set we've had in a while. I bought it last year for $15, it's still the same price, and almost a year later it's still intact. It washes and dries well and has a smooth, soft feel. The fitted sheet also stays in place fairly well. They're not cotton but they are still great sheets. I hope they get more colors, like light/soft yellow and lilac/lavender.

Comfy but need better elastic.
Color: Dark Grey, Size: Queen
Perfect color to coordinate with a comforter. But elastic on fitted sheet is loose. Soft and decent quality except the loose elastic.
