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

Long Cables and Easy to Spot
Size: 10FT, Color: Blue
So far these have been great chargers. They charge quickly and we have not had any issues with them overheating or causing problems with our iPhones, which is always my main concern with third party chargers. The 10 foot length is a big plus. It gives plenty of flexibility whether you are on the couch, in bed, or working at a desk. The extra length makes a noticeable difference compared to standard cables. I actually bought the blue set for my wife so her chargers would stand out from all the white ones around the house. That has worked perfectly. They are easy to identify and no one else grabs them by mistake. The two pack was ideal for that reason, giving her one for the bedroom and one for another room. If you are looking for a fast charging option with longer cables and want something that is easy to distinguish from the usual white cords, this is a solid choice.

Great block & cables!
Size: 10FT, Color: White
Chargers work fantastically! Charges iPhone 16 superfast as well as new larger iPads. I’ve also used it to charge my MacBook Pro, which it works well with that as well. Doesn’t seem to get excessively hot and the cables are of high-quality. Have bought a lot of these so far and love them!

Decent
Size: 10FT, Color: White
Would of gave a 5 star rating but in terms of quality it’s decent as far as advertisement of it being 10ft is a lie I still had one of my original apple 10ft cable and these are technically 8-8.5ft. So far both boxes and cables still functional and working 5 months later better than most chargers you will buy at a gas station, that will only last about 2-3 months.
