Biographical note
George Marcus is Distinguished Professor of Anthropology, University of California at Irvine, USA. Christine Hegel is Associate Professor of Anthropology, Western Connecticut State University, USA. Luke Cantarella is Associate Professor of Design, Pace University, USA."By weaving together ethnography, art, and design, this book displaces anthropology’s logocentric emphasis on written texts toward designed encounters where creation and genuine surprise might not be the exception but the rule. Ethnography by Design, finally, enables us to perceive anew the elusive onto-epistemic constellation always lurking at the intersection of the real, the possible, the emergent, and the futural.” - Arturo Escobar, University of North Carolina, USALuke Cantarella, Christine Hegel and George E. Marcus have played a leading role in new research located at the intersection of art, design, and anthropology. Ethnography by Design provides an invaluable guide to this promising new terrain, combining important speculative insights with a pragmatic guide to their unique working method. - Grant Kester, University of California, San Diego, USAEthnography by Design brilliantly enacts and teaches speculative design practices that cultivate thinking through making. - Kathleen Stewart, University of Texas, USAThis book brilliantly sets the scene for ethnography as collaborative practice, and is essential reading for artists, designers, and anthropologists, as well as others interested in the study of people in and as part of the world. - Kerstin Leder Mackley, University College London, University of London, UK"
