The Anthropology of Digital Practices

The Anthropology of Digital Practices connects digital ethnography, causal ethnography and media practice theory to track the effects of new media practices in a digital world. It invites media and communication students and scholars to explore the complex, open-ended effects of new media practices in a digital age.

John Postill is a senior lecturer in Communication in the School of Media and Communication at RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia.
