Reviews

“Crafting as World Making provides a fresh perspective on crafting for archaeologists, anthropologists, and those interested in crafts and the material world.” • Teresa P. Raczek, Kennesaw State University

Description

Archaeological literature has often placed the role of crafting within discourses of craft specialization, anchoring it to questions related to sociopolitical complexity, which linked political processes with productive organization. This book invites us to think differently and discuss crafting as a way of making, knowing, and being in the world. Through utilizing examples from various time periods and across global landscapes, it reimagines questions of being and belonging, and other affective modalities related to how we articulate meaning, in text, image or speech. Importantly, the book considers what it means to make, as a way to produce knowledge about the worlds we inhabit.

Uzma Z. Rizvi is Professor of Anthropology and Urban Studies at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn. She is the PI for the Laboratory of Integrated Archaeological Visualization and Heritage (LIAVH.org), bringing together archaeological research with data management, visualization, and heritage practice.

Sarah E. Jackson serves as the inaugural dean of the division of social sciences, at the College of Arts and Sciences, Colorado University, Boulder. She previously served as the division of dean for social sciences at the University of Cincinnati’s College of Arts and Sciences.
