Description

Critical Craft: Technology, Globalization, and Capitalism by Routledge offers a deep look into the modern definition of craft through thirteen distinct ethnographies. Moving beyond old ideas that craft is merely about survival or resisting capitalism, this collection explores how diverse practitioners define their own labor in a globalized world. From the traditional Oaxacan wood carvings to the dessert kitchens of provincial France, these studies examine a wide variety of global practices. The book looks at how designers, DIY enthusiasts, traditional artisans, and technical programmers view their work. By studying these different groups, the text helps readers understand how people make sense of their labor and identity in the face of changing technology and economic systems. This book is an essential resource for those interested in arts, photography, and the sociological aspects of making. It provides a new perspective on how craft exists within contemporary society, connecting traditional methods with modern technical roles.
