Ethnography, experience and electronic text: a discussion of the potential of hypermedia for teaching and representation in anthropology

In Britain the production and use of electronic hypermedia for teaching and learning anthropology is expanding. During the 1990s anthropologists' published responses to this new form of ethnographic representation ranged from advocating caution in the application of hypermedia to anthropology (e.g., Banks 1994) to celebrating its creative potential to enhance research, representation and pedagogy intellectually and ethically.
