This course examines ideas of craft that have emerged in the modern period in response to the industrial and digital revolutions, and other significant social and political changes. From the Arts and Crafts movement, the Bauhaus, and mingei to Etsy, maker culture, Craftivism, the Hobby Lobby, and biofacture, modern craft is associated with radically different practices and politics. Drawing on a variety of disciplinary and theoretical frameworks, we will consider craft's relationship to art, design, industry, and leisure in a global context, using case studies to illuminate key concepts and issues. We will pay particular attention to the place of craft in modern and contemporary art; to gendered, classed, and raced understandings of craft and its queering; to craft's relationship to the environment; to what Indigenous perspectives and practices can teach us; and to what has been seen as craft's revolutionary or reactionary potential.
