To distinguish design ethnography as compared to ethnography in the social sciences, Nova lists the following characteristics: The time spent in the eld is shorter, the focus is more narrow, the analysis of the material is closely linked to the design practices with the production of intermediary objects [.. In the 1980s, there were some collaborations between anthropologists from the USA and design researchers from Scandinavia (Bloomberg and Karasti 2013, p. 87), where participatory design research had already developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, as visionary social models and new technologies began to receive more attention (Bjerknes et al.
