"Our present era of digital communication presents endless opportunities for the collection and analysis of social data in new and novel ways. It also presents new and unanticipated ways to fail, as researchers are often inventing elements of their methodologies on the fly or studying a phenomena or media platform for the first time. In Research Exposed, Eszter Hargittai and her team of experienced researchers offer detailed behind-the-scenes accounts of conducting empirical social science research in the digital age. It brings vivid first-hand accounts of innovative research projects and introduces readers to a wide range of digital age methods, including data scraping, surveys, in-person observations, and on-line content analysis. The chapters draw on lessons learned from over a dozen scholars by addressing the methodological challenges that researchers faced when gathering and analyzing data. Some of the essays focus on the behind-the-scenes challenges when applying familiar research methods like interviewing, ethnographic work, and secondary data analysis to digital media, while others examine the challenges associated with pioneering genres of research associated with new media such as data scraping. The goal of the book is provide insight for those who want to do their own digital research about how mistakes can be made and avoided"--

In recent years, crucial questions have been raised about anthropology as a discipline, such as whether ethnography is central to the subject, and how imagination, reality and truth are joined in anthropological enterprises. These interventions have impacted anthropologists and scholars at large. This volume contributes to the debate about the interrelationships between ethnography and anthropology and takes it to a new plane. Six anthropologists with field experience in Egypt, Greece, India, Laos, Mauritius, Thailand and Switzerland critically discuss these propositions in order to renew anthropology for the future. The volume concludes with an Afterword from Tim Ingold.
