Anthropology and Computing: The Challenges of the 1990s

The use of computers in the analysis of fieldwork, texts, and socioculturally embedded systems is examined in relation to advances in problems of cultural anthropology, including synthesis of trait with textual and network analysis within a more general conception of cultures as distributed systems. Keywords: ethnography, cognitive testing, representation and inference generators, hypertext and text analysis, hypermedia, spatial autocorrelation, scaling, consensus analysis, modular and didactic programs. © 1988, Sage Publications.
