Making and Growing brings together the latest work in the fields of
anthropology and material culture studies to explore the
differences - and the relation - between making things and growing
things, and between things that are made and things that grow.
Though the former are often regarded as artefacts and the latter as
organisms, the book calls this distinction into question, examining
the implications for our understanding of materials, design and
creativity. Grounding their arguments in case studies from
different regions and historical periods, the contributors to this
volume show how making and growing give rise to co-produced and
mutually modifying organisms and artefacts, including human
persons. They attend to the properties of materials and to the
forms of knowledge and sensory experience involved in these
processes, and explore the dynamics of making and undoing, growing
and decomposition. The book will be of broad interest to scholars
in the fields of anthropology, archaeology, material culture
studies, history and sociology.
