Looks like a fascinating read, Irene, and also quite related to an article
I've just pitched at the Digital Culture & Society journal about
decolonizing universalist tech narratives in maker movements. Will get in
touch with you once I have read it! Nice to see these kinds of
less-essentialist ethnographic perspectives as they emerge :)

>>>     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.
>>>
