About the Project
Project term: April, 2014–March, 2017
This study project is the second part of the previous study project named, “The Anthropological Study of Things” in ILCAA during 2006-2009. The previous project studied the relationship between human beings and non-human things (e.g. artifacts, artificial objects, natural things, animals etc.) in different socio-cultural settings in world. In the second part of this project, we continue our anthropological (ethnographical study) on various aspects between human beings and non-human things and the study’s implications for culture, society and technology
