177 pages with black and white illustrations. Usual ex-library markings. Cover edgeworn, creased, and rubbed, with closed one-inch tear at lower back corner. Spine creased. Text in“This multidisciplinary collection of 18 essays, presented at the symposium ‘Making and Metaphor: A Discussion of Meaning in Contemporary Craft,’ illustrates the complex and significant role of contemporary craft in society. The discipline of philosophy contributes both semiotics and feminism as tools for understanding craft. Historical analysis highlights how the fields of education, architecture and industrial design have influenced craft products and our perceptions of them. Social and cultural anthropology show how craft expresses gender and cultural identities, which are time-specific. And ethnology and museum studies reveal the assumptions involved in collecting, identifying and exhibiting craft.” – Abstract.
