This book explores the use of handmade crafts as a vehicle for
protest. Craftivism has experienced a resurgence in recent years,
often in direct response to the social, environment and political
concerns of those who engage in the practice. Acts of craftivism
raise important questions for criminologists about the use of
public space, power, and resistance. McGovern focuses on an example
of the 'craftivist' movement that has been steadily gaining
momentum since the early to mid-2000s: yarn bombing. As an urban
craft movement that melds the skills of knitting or crochet with
the act of graffiti, yarn bombing has the potential to contribute
to criminological understandings of graffiti and street art,
particularly on issues of gender, perceptions of and motivations
for graffiti, and the commodification of crime. Drawing on
interviews with yarn bombers and craftivists, Craftivism and Yarn
Bombing explores how such acts can be understood and explored
through a criminological lens, and will be of interest to students
and scholars across a range of disciplines, including criminology,
sociology, cultural studies, gender studies, and urban studies.
