Abstract
Design is an expanding and emerging topic for anthropological study. Its evasiveness as a cultural phenomenon, which some see as ubiquitous and some see as very limited and specific, necessitates careful handling but is also one of the reasons why it is an interesting cultural phenomenon. The study of design in anthropology originated in the study of graphical representation and graphical ways of thinking and developed into studies of the design of everyday materialities. Recent work has focused on professional and institutional design practices and developed collaborative ways of doing anthropological work through design anthropology.
