DESIGN ANTHROPOLOGY OBJECT CULTURE IN THE 21ST CENTURY
Edition Angewandte Book Series of the University of Applied Arts Vienna Edited by Gerald Bast, Rector
This book is the outcome of a lengthy and exciting journey into the various objects, disciplines, and debates that form the bridges between contemporary design and anthropology. Many of the contributors are colleagues from academia, industry, and design with whom I have shared discussions, or simply listened to intently, at conferences, workshops, and events over the years. Design Anthropology is a testament to the generosity of the contributing authors, whose articles arose from a genuine collective interest in disseminating knowledge beyond the tight parameters of their disciplines to specifically address the phenomenon of design anthropology. The original proposal for this anthology was thrashed out with my PhD student, and then student assistant, Kathrina Dankl, whose enthusiasm was invaluable. I would also like to thank enormously Gerald Bast, Anja Seipenbusch, Elfe Fritz, Angela Fössl, Bryleigh Morsink, Katharina Wohlrab, Erwin Bauer, Diana Young, Daniel Miller, Fiona Raby, Harlanne Roberts and Harvey Molotch who in various ways, practical and otherwise, helped the project to its completion. And I thank my inspiring family Constance, Solomon, and Paul for their unerring love and support.
