Fake News and the Web of Plausibility
This article explores the presentation of fake news, the most salient kind of disinformation, focusing neither on its text-based content nor its image-based form, but instead on its overall aesthetic composition-and how and why that composition contributes to the proliferation of disinformation. It begins with an analysis of 'real news'-the genre that fake news attempts to copy-and its reliance on what Gaye Tuchman calls the 'web of facticity' to…

Designs for the Pluriverse
Reviewed by: Designs for the Pluriverse: Radical Interdependence, Autonomy, and the Making of Worlds by Arturo Escobar Keith M. Murphy Arturo Escobar, Designs for the Pluriverse: Radical Interdependence, Autonomy, and the Making of Worlds. Durham: Duke University Press, 2018. 290 pp. There is a simple question that almost always haunts scholarly debates about design, although scholars and debaters don't always recognize how much it motivates thei…
On problem-setting the cosmopolitical
In what follows I offer a brief reinterpretation of the design case presented in ‘Cosmopolitical Encounters: Prototyping at the National Zoo in Santiago, Chile.’ My goal in doing so is to present a
Design and Anthropology
In this review, I examine the recent turn to design in anthropology in three different configurations: anthropology of design, anthropology for design, and design for anthropology. Although these three configurations represent different cuts in a complex set of relations between these two disciplines, I have chosen to discuss them together because they all represent-though not always obviously so-attempts to contend with the moral implications of…
A cultural geometry
In Sweden, a long-standing and pervasive discourse delineates the significance of design-especially "Swedish design"-within a distinctly political framework. Just as the social democratic welfare state is in large part organized to "care" for its citizens, design in Sweden is supposed to "care" for the users of everyday goods. I explore this claim in several sociocultural domains in which different aspects of Swedish design are reproduced. I also…
Transmodality and temporality in design interactions

Collaborative imagining
This article examines the use of imagination as a communicative resource in interaction. Using actual examples of imagination in action collected during anthropological fieldwork at an architecture firm in California, I develop the concept of ‘collaborative imagining’ as a social, jointly-produced activity in which the objects of thought are created and manipulated in the shared space of face-to-face interaction. Such an activity relies upon a nu…
Imagination as Joint Activity
This article draws from the insights offered by discourse analysis and the study of gesture to examine imagination as a product of, and resource for, social action. Using data collected during ethnographic fieldwork at an architecture firm, the article explores how imagining can emerge from a group of interactants who use many semiotic media, including talk, gestures, and drawings, to imagine something together. Following the groundwork laid by B…
Bourdieu and phenomenology
This article sets out to examine and critically evaluate Bourdieu's critique of phenomenology as presented in his Outline of a Theory of Practice (1977) and The Logic of Practice (1990). Since it is not possible to properly understand Bourdieu's critique without situating it within the context of his broader theoretical orientation, the article begins with an exploration of some of the key concepts underpinning his version of practice theory. Of …
The Structure of Wages
Although surveys show that traditional orderings of average wage—i.e., higher earnings with higher schooling and concave age-wage profiles—have not changed during the past three decades, the actual size of the wage differentials measured by education or by work experience has varied from peak to trough by a factor of two-to-one. The patterns are not monotone, but there is a trend toward increased skill premiums. We first examine the structure of …
The Division of Labor, Coordination Costs, and Knowledge
This paper considers specialization and the division of labor. A more extensive division of labor raises productivity because returns to the time spent on tasks are usually greater to workers who concentrate on a narrower range of skills. The traditional discussion of the division of labor emphasizes the limitations to specialization imposed by the extent of the market. We claim that the degree of specialization is more often determined by other …
Changes in Relative Wages, 1963-1987
A simple supply and demand framework is used to analyze changes in the U. S. wage structure from 1963 to 1987. Rapid secular growth in the demand for more-educated workers, “more-skilled” workers, and females appears to be the driving force behind observed changes in the wage structure. Measured changes in the allocation of labor between industries and occupations strongly favored college graduates and females throughout the period. Movements in …
