什么是数码人类学?

What is Digital Anthropology?

数码人类学指数字技术在特定人群中兴起后的结果,也可以指数字技术在人类学研究方法中的应用,还可以指代对具体数字技术的研究。数字技术给人的生活带来了巨大的变化,它延展了今天的世界,并创造出一个全新的空间。人在和数字共舞时,线下生活的变化可以更好地理解数字的含义。进而人类学家可以思考“人性”在今天数字时代的复杂意义。

The term digital anthropology can be used to refer to the consequences of the rise of digital technologies for particular populations, the use of these technologies within anthropological methodology, or the study of specific digital technologies. Digital technology has brought tremendous changes to people's lives. It has extended the world today and created a whole new space. When people dance with digitals, changes in offline life can better understand the meaning of digital. Furthermore, anthropologists can think about the complex meaning of “humanity”in today's digital age.
