This volume expands understandings of crafting practices, which in
the past was the major relational interaction between the social
agency of materials, technology, and people, in co-creating an
emergent ever-changing world. The chapters discuss different ways
that crafting in the present is useful in understanding crafting
experiences and methods in the past, including experiments to
reproduce ancient excavated objects, historical accounts of
crafting methods and experiences, craft revivals, and teaching
historical crafts at museums and schools. Crafting in the World is
unique in the diversity of its theoretical and multidisciplinary
approaches to researching crafting, not just as a set of techniques
for producing functional objects, but as social practices and
technical choices embodying cultural ideas, knowledge, and multiple
interwoven social networks. Crafting expresses and constitutes
mental schemas, identities, ideologies, and cultures. The multiple
meanings and significances of crafting are explored from a great
variety of disciplinary perspectives, including anthropology,
archaeology, sociology, education, psychology, women's studies, and
ethnic studies. This book provides a deep temporal range and a
global geographical scope, with case studies ranging from Europe,
Africa, and Asia to the Americas and a global internet website for
selling home crafted items.
