CyberAnthropology recognizes that the new 'virtual' communities are no longer defined by geographic or even semiotic (ethnic/religious/linguistic) boundaries. Instead, communities are being constructed in cyberspace on the basis of common affiliative interests, transcending boundaries of class, nation, race, gender, and language. Even as old systems of social organization are imploding, the various 'virtual communities' are growing. (cf. Howard Rheingold.) This parallels the way in which on the global scene civil society is reclaiming social space from both the public and private sectors - how the NGO (nongovernmental organization) is continuing to check the power of the nation-state and the multinational corporation.

This article investigates the historical development, the major theories and the ethnographic domains of an anthropology of cyberculture. In doing so, the authors use Arturo Escobar's influential paper on cyberanthropology, written in 1994, and connects potential research questions posed in this text with research projects recently conducted at the Viennese Department of Cultural and Social Anthropology.

Visual anthropology in the digital mirror: Computer-assisted visual anthropology

http://lucy.ukc.ac.uk/dz/layers_nggwun.html

2003

Fischer Michael D. and David Zeitlyn

We discuss some of the ways that visual materials have been used in anthropology and how digital technology affect our approaches in some ways more than others. Rather than using hypertext and multimedia as analytic endpoints we introduce an approach which hypertext facilitates, conceived as a hierarchical set of layers at differing levels of abstraction with the analytic article or book at one end, furthest from the field experiences on which it is based.
