Anthropological and Ethnographic Design Method for Anthropological Knowledge

A brand-new transdisciplinary course called Design Anthropological (DA) integrates the two academic disciplines of anthropology and design. The literature on design anthropology is heavily weighted toward discussions of anthropology's potential value, benefits, and contributions to design. These discussions have often centred on the methodological use of ethnography in design. In contrast, there hasn't been much debate of what design can contribute to anthropology. The use of design in anthropology has been brought up by certain scholars, including. However, greater attention should be given to how design may be utilised to practise anthropology, particularly how design can help in the development of anthropological knowledge about a sociocultural phenomenon that is "developing" in the real world. The following characteristics define a "emergent" social phenomenon. It is a developing organism. a developing sociocultural phenomena that has only sporadic manifestations in daily life or does not yet exist in social interactions. Technical, economic, and social trends, however, point to the possibility that real-world manifestations of the developing phenomena might materialise and become established in the near future. It is, however, developing into something else. Given the potential social reality of such an event, anthropological research may be appropriate given the situation. A "field-site" for an anthropological inquiry may not yet exist, which is the specific methodological issue with emergent phenomena. Anthropology via Design (AtD) is a broad term for research techniques that use design-related activities to generate anthropological information about social and cultural phenomena. The creation of anthropological knowledge is the fundamental aim of the anthropology design process. AAn study of social phenomena is done via anthropological design. Design is transformed by anthropology to become a tool for anthropological practise rather than an object of anthropology, as in "anthropology of design," or a beneficiary of anthropological knowledge, as in "anthropology for design."

Design, anthropology, and ethnography (Social and cultural) anthropology are together characterised as "an intellectually demanding, theoretically ambitious field that tries to understand culture, society, and mankind via thorough explorations of local life enhanced by comparison. A "process of inquiry" that includes methods like participant observation, fieldwork, and absorption in a social context is one definition of ethnography. A "product" of the ethnographic process, such as ethnographic writings (monographs and articles) produced to describe the observations, is sometimes referred to as "ethnography." Although the terms "anthropology" and "ethnography" are occasionally used synonymously, believes that they are independent and unrelated disciplines. Ethnography is a descriptive and documentary field of study. To portray the social lives of "others" in the past is the primary objective of ethnography. In other words, ethnography is a methodological technique and its descriptive end result, but anthropology is knowledge of what it is to be human in a community. A "generous, comparative, but critical understanding of human being and knowing in the one world we all inhabit" is what anthropology seeks to accomplish. There isn't a single definition of design that practitioners and professionals in the field agree upon. Varied design disciplines, professions, and practise areas, such as visual, product, and architectural design, have different definitions and interpretations of the term "design". Design is frequently characterised by attention to the future and a willingness to adapt to change. Like ethnography, design has two definitions: as a process, as in "doing design," and as a product, as in the artefacts produced as a result of design activities.
