- Craft is a sphere of activities where humans as cultural beings can dwell, a place in people's lives where processing of thoughts and feelings regarding everyday life and political events can take place. Craft as cultural heritage can also be directed toward the future, since understanding of handmade processes is a base for industrial production. It is a space for dreaming and planning as well as for material encounters between body and matter—in both ways changing the world. Dwelling in craft must not be idealized, though. Its manifold expressions and opposite features have to be studied critically. Craftwork can be apprehended in various ways: calming but also frustrating, creative, and innovative, as well as boringly routinized. People can earn their living through craft, or they can reside in craft contexts like educational workshops, the DIY or DIT movement, and maker spaces for recreational purposes. Craft can be about healthy people's creative self-expressions, but it can also be used as a tool in therapeutic processes or in reminiscence work with persons who have dementia. Craft is social when learned and shared but often individually performed with personal bodily knowing as its prerequisite. Thus, it connects people and fosters self-esteem, but it also pinpoints differences regarding bodily performances and may lead to competition and envy. An ethnological "double glance" at the phenomenon is needed. We invite scholars to theorize on craft/making as cultural activities or to present empirical findings from the field.

- The Re-Heritage project aims to study the rapidly expanding second hand-, re-use- and vintage market in which small-scale entrepreneurs transform and re-configure objects with a real or imagined history into marketable goods with heritage value. Building on existing research on second hand culture and consumption, the project takes on a neo-materialist approach to explore how this market, here called the re:heritage market, involves circulation and transformations that renegotiate established understandings of heritage, but that also transcends conventional dichotomies between public and private, tangible and intangible, memory and history. Combining perspectives from anthropology, consumption research, integrated conservation and cultural geography, the project will analyse the real and imaginary sites, the relations, networks and assemblages of things as well as the actors and institutions involved in the re:heritage circulation. The research methodology involves ethnographic fieldwork, text and image analysis and archival studies. The research will be carried out through five work packages with complementary focus: the social and material infrastructure of objects in circulation; the market qualification-valuation processes; the interaction of urban localities and heritagization processes; a comparative study in the UK; theory development as well as co-research in interaction with the public. In the work package “Sites and localities as re:heritage” the focus will be on the kind of circulations that meet in the reverential activities of rebuilding, restructuring, reconstruction, renovation or restoration of the urban built environment: 1) the reshuffling of spatial meanings: from an original (usually) function-based meaning, into one based on heritage conceptions; 2) the circuit of market values: the real estate property market where heritage aspects of the sales items (predominately homes) have become as a core hub for the presentations and spatial rearrangements; 3) the increasing market for old building details or structures (such as used doors, windows and fittings, authentic paint, original tiles); 4) the know-how, skills and craft necessary for its application.

Avsalustickningen i södra Halland: från vardagsvara till hemslöjdsprodukt
- 1990

Ingår i: C-uppsats.

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Avsalustickningen har varit en betydande näring i Våxtorps socken, Höks härad i södra Halland åtminstone sedan mitten av 1600-talet. Förläggare delade ut ull som bearbetades till garn som användes till att sticka vardagsplagg som strumpor och tröjor. Dessa såldes sedan vidare. I slutet av 1800-talet upphörde avsalustickningen, men den tog ny fart 1907 då Föreningen Bindslöjden bildades. En mönsterinventering låg till grund för produktutveckling och mönsterstickade, moderna plagg började säljas till en borgerlig, resursstark kundkrets. Hur förändringen gick till samt skillnaderna mellan den tidiga avsalustickningen och den nya undersöks i uppsatsen. Arbetsprocesser, redskap och sättet att hålla garnet på undersöks, liksom även hur och i vilka kontexter arbetet genomfördes.
