Technical plots: five anthropological approaches Anthropological approaches to the technical
Keywords:
anthropology, technique, social sciencesSynopsis
This book is the result of a collective effort by graduates of the National University of Córdoba with ties to anthropology, who came together during their postgraduate studies to discuss their research. Focusing on the analysis of subjects and technical objects in their fieldwork, the book arose from the need to share, discuss, and collectively construct ideas. Based on a workshop held in 2023, they developed a collective commentary format that reflects a year of synchronous and asynchronous exchanges. Its objective is to offer a plural, accessible, and rigorous dialogue, aimed at both academics and audiences interested in the technical world, showcasing an exercise in collaboration and joint reflection.
