Geographies of Making, Craft and Creativity (eBook, PDF)

Produktbeschreibung

This book brings together cutting-edge research from leading international scholars which explores the geographies of making and craft, and the different understandings of 'making'. It traces the geographies of making practices from the body, to the workshop and studio, to the wider socio-cultural, economic, institutional and historical contexts. The place of creative practices in 'making' geographies and worlds is considered, as well as the multiple lives of things in creatively re-working objects.
