Chapter 3 THE MEANING OF MAKING II: Craft Today
In the eighteenth century, ‘craft’ referred primarily to political cunning and a sly, jocular, tricksy approach to social issues.1 At that point, though, craft was not associated with any particular methods or objects, and could be applied to any cultural practices.3 During the nineteenth century, the notion of ‘craft’ or a ‘craftsman’ appeared even less often, remaining pretty dormant until the last quarter of that century, when it sprang into action.4
ideological van Paul Greenhalgh
- decorative art - ‘applied’ forms of creativity, second-class feeling of being excluded from the category of ‘fine art’
- the vernacular - (volkstaal) unselfconsciously communicated through everyday things that people have made
- politics of work - the actual crafted objects become secondary to the broader ideals about the conditions in which they are made.
