Description
xA reconsideration of the meaning of "digital" in light of China's distinct technological trajectory.
Understanding China through Digital Anthropology questions our understanding of digital technologies by demonstrating fundamental differences in the meaning of both technology and the digital between China and the West. This follows from a longstanding historical divergence in the meaning of and attitude towards the relationship between technology and humanity. The book includes coverage of a considerable body of scholarship on digital anthropology previously only published in Chinese.
