1. Apply sociological concepts to the study of the production, circulation, and consumption of craft.
2. Discuss the role of craft in contemporary society.
3. Develop critical thinking, discussion, and academic English reading skills.
4. Undertake undergraduate-level research and write a research report.
The word "craft" comes from Old English, meaning power, knowledge, and skill. Similar to the root of the Latin word for "art", it referred to the human ability to do something well in the broader sense. Despite having been positioned in a lower hierarchy to "the arts" (painting, sculpture, music, etc.) or seen as obsolete in the context of modern factory-based industry, craft-making involves creativity, innovation, and knowledge of materials, humans, and the environment.
This course allows students to engage with sociological, anthropological, and interdisciplinary approaches to the study of craft as both a type of material cultural object and a way of working. This will provide an opportunity to look at the intersections between craft and issues of class, gender, ethnocentrism, colonialism, and globalization. We will see how ideas associated with craft (romantic, rural, traditional, feminine, ethnic, etc.) have been shaped, instrumentalized, or reclaimed by various artistic, social, and political movements both left and right.
In recent decades, craft and ideas of craftsmanship have resurged within a critique of neoliberalism and labor and environmental exploitation. At the same time, the role of craft in cultural heritage preservation, tourism, rural revitalization, and sustainable development has been highlighted. Throughout this course, students will have the chance to reflect on and discuss the role of craft in contemporary society.
