Can AI Dream? The Role of Ethnographic Imagination in Researching Health Care Work Futures With Generative AI
This article explores generative artificial intelligence’s methodological potential in design anthropological futures research, examining how ethnographic imagination extends through speculative artificial intelligence (AI) engagement. Drawing on fieldwork with health care practitioners in regional Australian hospitals, we integrate generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) as both methodological tool and epistemic interlocutor within speculativ…
An Anthropology of Futures and Technologies
This book examines emerging automated technologies and systems and the increasingly prominent roles that each plays in our lives and our imagined futures. It asks how technological futures are being constituted and the roles anthropologists can play in their making; how anthropologists engage with emerging technologies within their fieldwork contexts in research which seeks to influence future design; how to create critical and interventional app…

Teenagers as curators: Digitally mediated curation of the self on Instagram
In this paper we draw on the findings on teens’ transmedia practices from the research project Transmedia Literacy carried out in eight countries from Europe, Latin America and Australia between 2015 and 2018. An ethnographic approach that combined different research methods, including questionnaires, participatory-creative workshops, interviews, media diaries and online community observation, was used to explore what teens are doing with media. …
Design Ethnography: Research, Responsibilities, and Futures
Futuros imaginados. Perspectivas descentradas en torno al oficio etnográfico
Este artículo busca elaborar una reflexión en torno a los modos en que la práctica etnográfica, constituida en sus desarrollos clásicos al alero de la disciplina antropológica, experimenta un conjunto de tensiones, desafíos y transformaciones en sus ejercicios contemporáneos. En el marco de una intensificación de los cruces inter y transdisciplinares, y en medio de los acelerados y complejos tránsitos hacia el mundo digital, la etnografía debe re…
Digital material value: Designing emerging technologies
In this article, we examine how the digital material value of emerging technologies is articulated in technology design contexts. We argue that here digital material value lies not in the monetisation of an artefact or product but in the opening up of possibilities for its use. Thus, to generate digital material value, a certain configuration of things and processes that enables its value to be relevant is required. We develop this through a proc…
Future in the ethnographic world
This chapter proposes an approach that treats future as an analytical tool that emerges in the context of ethnographic work. This involves a concept of future that is produced as the outcome of a mutual engagement between the ethnographer on the one hand, and on the other the people and things who are part of our ethnographic worlds. The chapter discusses how we came to conceptualize the future on the terms of technology developers and designers,…
Data anxieties: Finding trust in everyday digital mess
Digital data is an increasing and continual presence across the sites, activities and relationships of everyday life. In this article we explore what data presence means for the ways that the everyday is organised, sensed, and anticipated. While digital data studies have demonstrated how data is deeply entangled with the way in which everyday life is lived out and valued, at the same time our relationships with data are riddled with anxieties or …
Future Anthropology Ethics and Datafication: Temporality and Responsibility in Research
In this article, we argue for an ethics of big data that is embedded in the emergent processes through which data are made, interpreted, and mobilized in mundane everyday contexts and examine how this could potentially be played out in research practice. We situate this as a response to a current crisis in accountability that has arisen in the context of the use of digital data to inform societal interventions, which we propose calls for a future…
Visualidades y materialidades de lo digital: Caminos Desde La Antropología
En este artículo presentamos una reflexión sobre cómo estudiamos lo digital desde una perspectiva antropológica y exploramos cómo se han planteado cuestiones como la diversidad cultural, las desigualdades sociales y las posibilidades de cambio y transformación social vin- culadas con las tecnologías digitales. Proponemos que es necesario abrir un debate sobre las conceptualizaciones de lo digital y cuáles son las categorías que utilizamos para de…
