Description
In this paper we explore how Techno-Anthropology has developed over time in Denmark. This is partly done through identifying how Techno-Anthropology has been portrayed and discussed in three books (Børsen & Botin 2013, Botin et al. 2015, Botin & Børsen 2021) and a special thematic issues of the journal Techné: Research in Philosophy and Technology (Wellner et al. 2015). The paper also analyses empirical material generated through interviews with seven members of the Research group ‘Techno-Anthropology and Participation’ (TAPAR) on how they perceive Techno-Anthropology today. In the final analysis the authors explain how Techno-Anthropology has developed over time in Denmark. The overall argument is that Techno-Anthropology has developed from being primarily an ethnographic and philosophical endeavor focusing on understanding how technologies and humans interrelate into a technical design discipline that explicitly is focused on inscription of ethical values and user perspectives into socio-technical configurations.KW: Techno-Anthropology, Ethnography, Philosophy of Technology, Inscription, Value-Sensitive Design, Participatory Design.
