> Overview
> -----------------------------------------------------------
> Making is hot. A ‘maker culture’ is emerging and a focus on making and
> skills is retaking a presence in society at its broadest. For example, we
> see a re-appreciation for the skills in education where there is a growing
> interest in learning by doing and craft schools re-entering higher academic
> levels. And also the work of Richard Sennett, Tim Ingold, and Vilem
> Flusser, to name just a few, has given the skills a new foothold in
> academia. We wonder if these observations point to a new appreciation of
> the bodily skills and the first signs of the elimination of the classic
> separation of body and mind.
> “Making” is far broader than skilled manual labor. Making is about
> understanding in practice, and it is inextricably tangled with an active
> engagement with the material world and culture. Still, it is important to
> realize that the notion of making has evolved in different ways from
> traditional craftsmanship.
> The new ‘maker culture’, promoted by fab labs, DIY, maker and hacker
> spaces, is an utilitarian hybrid of software and hardware ‘tinkering’ that
> stands far apart from the quality that skilled craftsman of before would
> bring. Being motivated by self-fulfillment and desire to do good work for
> its own sake, the makers privilege assembling technologies into physical
> objects and fabricate new devices. Attention to formal and interactive
> qualities of the designed objects is not at the forefront of their
> creations.
> However, the maker philosophy has attracted the interest of professionals,
> educators, practitioners and the academic community for the informal, open,
> networked, peer-led and shared learning, for its potential to create new
> pathways into technology development and for experimenting with a new
> economic model for growth and innovation that is not based on mass
> production and long production chains.
> In this special issue we aim to portrait broad perspective on making,
> welcoming multidisciplinary contributions and viewpoints. We would like
> this special issue to be a feast of variety that gives handles on making in
> as many ways as possible.
