If you are an anthropologist wanting to use digital methods or programming as part of your research, where do you start? In this commentary, we discuss three ways in which anthropologists can use computational tools to enhance, support, and complement ethnographic methods. By presenting our reflections, we hope to contribute to the stirring conversations about the potential future role(s) of (social) data science vis-a-vis anthropology and ethnography, and to inspire other anthropologists to take up the use of digital methods, programming, and computational tools in their own research.

人类学的观点：人类学家应该害怕数据机器吗？

如果您是一名人类学家，想将数字方法或编程作为研究的一部分，您从哪里开始？在这篇评论中，我们讨论了人类学家可以使用计算工具来增强、支持和补充人种学方法的三种方式。通过提出我们的反思，我们希望为关于（社会）数据科学与人类学和民族志的潜在未来角色的激动人心的对话做出贡献，并激励其他人类学家开始使用数字方法，编程和计算工具在他们自己的研究中。
