Description
Critical Craft Technology, Globalization, and Capitalism by Clare M. Wilkinson-Weber and Alicia Ory DeNicola presents thirteen ethnographies that challenge conventional understandings of craft in various practices around the world. The authors focus on individuals and communities who claim a practice as their own, exploring how they make sense of it and why activities termed 'craft' are mobilized and reproduced. By examining linguistics, microsociology, and participant observation from countries including Mexico, Nigeria, India, Taiwan, the Philippines, and France, this collection reveals a fascinating picture of contemporary global change. The book sheds light on the shifting terrain of craft, highlighting its flexibility in terms of which activities are labelled 'craft' and how these shape distinct engagements with materials, people, and the economy.
