Books > Arts & Architecture > The arts: general issues
Contemporary craft, art and design are inseparable from the flows
of production and consumption under global capitalism. The New
Politics of the Handmade features twenty-three voices who
critically rethink the handmade in this dramatically shifting
economy. The authors examine craft within the conditions of extreme
material and economic disparity; a renewed focus on labour and
materiality in contemporary art and museums; the political
dimensions of craftivism, neoliberalism, and state power; efforts
toward urban renewal and sustainability; the use of digital
technologies; and craft's connections to race, cultural identity
and sovereignty in texts that criss-cross five continents. They
claim contemporary craft as a dynamic critical position for
understanding the most immediate political and aesthetic issues of
our time.
