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

Good, Solid Surge Protector From Well-Known Company
Style: 12ft Cord (Black), Pattern Name: Single
This surge protector does exactly what it is supposed to do. The on-off switch feels solid. The long cord is thick, and seems pretty heavy-duty. It's just a good, basic, solid surge protector, made by a good company. There are definitely cheaper, no-name brand surge protectors available, but how often do you buy these things? I figured I may as well spend a few extra dollars and go with a quality company and get a quality product. If for some reason this surge protector stops working, or some of the outlets do, (as happened with the protector this one is replacing,) I will come back and update this review, but I honestly don't believe that will happen with a Tripp Lite product. [...]. On the other hand, if you did not find this review helpful, I’d be interested in hearing why, so that I can attempt to edit it and make it more helpful to both you and others. If you leave a comment on the review, suggesting how it would be more helpful, I promise to respond to your comment, and to attempt to incorporate your suggestion in my review, if it is at all possible for me to do so. My goal is to write reviews that help people, as I have been helped by the reviews others have written. Thanks!

Save time by buying Tripp Lite first
Style: 12ft Cord (Black), Pattern Name: Single
+ UL Listed (safest for your devices) + Long cord for reach + More outlets than most of the same format I tried to get something more tailored to my use and get a surge protector with a longer cable and more outlets, but that one wasn't UL Listed unlike this one is. Do not risk it, only buy UL Listed surge protectors. This one is perfect.

Sturdiest surge protector I've seen
Style: 12ft Cord (Black), Pattern Name: Single
I was very surprised by the quality of this surge protector, especially for the price I payed. Pros: Sturdy construction, and nice color. It's barely visible under my desk. Very tight grip on whatever is plugged in so there is no risk of anything accidentally coming unplugged. Thick gauge cord but surprisingly pliable so it bends easily for hiding and bundling up excess length. Visible and satisfying LED light shows your electronics are protected. Guarantee printed right on the box insuring your electronics in case of a damaging power surge. Cons: Nothing that comes to mind! I would strongly recommend this surge protector to anyone looking to manage lots of plugs for a computer, a large entertainment center or just a group of electronics plugged into the same outlet. I know it seems silly to be so enthusiastic over something as trivial as a surge protector but when it comes to protecting large investments you shouldn't put faith in a $5 bargain power strip. I'm buying Tripp Lite any time I need more outlet space from now on!

Does the trick well.
Style: Base Station Mount + Headphone Hanger, Style: Base Station Mount + Headphone Hanger
It's about 3D printer feel, so be sure to locate it where you won't bump it. It comes with everything you need to mount in a couple different configurations, which is a nice touch. The DAC fits perfectly and sets up nicely. Recommended for a polished look to keep your desk clear.

This item is exactly what you expect by description.
Style: Base Station Mount + Headphone Hanger
Magnetic is plenty strong enough to hold headphone up. Works exactly as you would hope. Permanent mounting options included.
