"Digital ethnography can be understood as a method for representing real-life cultures
through storytelling in digital media. Enabling audiences to go beyond absorbing facts,
computer-based storytelling allows for immersion in the experience of another culture.
A guide for anyone in the social sciences who seeks to enrich ethnographic techniques,
Digital Ethnography offers a groundbreaking approach that utilizes interactive components
to simulate cultural narratives. Integrating insights from cultural anthropology,
folklore, digital humanities, and digital heritage studies, this work brims with case
studies that provide in-depth discussions of applied projects. Web links to multimedia
examples are included as well, including projects, design documents, and other relevant
materials related to the planning and execution of digital ethnography projects. In
addition, new media tools such as database development and XML coding are explored
and explained, bridging the literature on cyber-ethnography with inspiring examples
such as blending cultural heritage with computer games. One of the few books in its
field to address the digital divide among researchers, Digital Ethnography guides
readers through the extraordinary potential for enrichment offered by technological
resources, far from restricting research to quantitative methods usually associated
with technology. The authors powerfully remind us that the study of culture is as
much about affective traits of feeling and sensing as it is about cognition--an approach
facilitated (not hindered) by the digital age."--Publisher's website
