At the beginning of the twenty-first century the demand for anthropological approaches, understandings and methodologies outside academic departments is shifting and changing. Through a series of fascinating case studies of anthropologists' experiences of working with very diverse organizations in the private and public sector this volume examines existing and historical debates about applied anthropology. It explores the relationship between the "e;pure and the impure"e; - academic and applied anthropology, the question of anthropological identities in new working environments, new methodologies appropriate to these contexts, the skills needed by anthropologists working in applied contexts where multidisciplinary work is often undertaken, issues of ethics and responsibility, and how anthropology is perceived from the 'outside'. The volume signifies an encouraging future both for the application of anthropology outside academic departments and for the new generation of anthropologists who might be involved in these developments.

An unrivalled exploration of what visual ethnography is and what it should be, this book maintains a fine balance between theory and practice. The author provides up-to-date digital and technological topics in this 4th edition; offering clear, relevant guidance on the approaches that contemporary students want to understand and the tools they want to use.

This volume examines both the range contexts in which applied visual anthropology is engaged, and the methodological and theoretical issues it raises.

Providing readers with the introduction to doing research into digital cultures and technologies, this book considers the methodological, practical and theoretical elements of digital ethnography and demonstrates how to research experiences and relationships as well as objects and events
