Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Applications in Computing for Social Anthropologists' encourages professionals in the field to make full use of their computers in the organization and interpretation of data. Lucidly written and sympathetic to the particular needs of social anthropologists, this book constitutes a step-by-step guide to computer literacy.Michael D. Fischer first identifies research activities common to all anthropologists--ethnographic fieldwork, management and analysis of footnotes, and the use of visual and aural material. Fischer then illustrates--through a detailed examination of computer applications that represent kinship relations--how computer-based representations can satisfy the requirements of anthropological methods. Fischer also introduces developments in the representation of visual and aural data on computers as well as possible applications of knowledge-based models.
