Interested exploring manual craft work and its social impact?
Do you study weaving, boatbuilding, wood craft, pottery, knitting, metalwork, carpentry, or other manual work?
We’re looking for papers for a panel, “Knowing by Doing: Manual Work and Social Resilience” at the 2015 SIEF Congress in Zagreb, centered on “Utopias, Realities, Heritages. Ethnographies for the 21st Century”. The panel explores the significance of this “way of knowing” to contemporary individuals and community projects. Using or revivifying manual technologies goes far beyond nostalgic longing, reconnecting us with the foundational characteristics of our humanity: the aptitudes towards teamwork, mutual responsibility, self-reliance, and problem solving, that made us capable of creating human society in the first place. If you’d like to submit a paper, click the link above. The deadline is Jan 14, 2015.
SIEF Congresses are a great combination of focused panels and plenary sessions, so there’s a lot to do and a lot to hear. And why not take a vacation on the fabulous Dalmatian coast before or afterwards. What’s not to like?
