Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In 2011 Sweden ratified the UNESCO’s Convention for the safeguarding of the intangible cultural heritage. The decision is part of a political cultural agenda to better attend to initiatives from non-governmental organisations, promoting the creative economy and involve the civil society in cultural heritage protection and management. However, this emergence of a new heritage discourse coincides with a general neoliberal practice to laissez-faire matters of heritage and disassembling of the professional sphere, leaving the local communities and communities of interest with little but encouraging words. An important question in this context is, by what design can public allocation of recourses and involvement of expertise support fragile communities and still withholding a bottoms-up perspective in their ways of doing? This paper presents and reflects upon an attempt to manage intangible heritage protection from a bottoms-up perspective. The case is the Craft Laboratory, intended as a tool to elicit the intangible heritage of craftsmanship in the creation of cultural spaces and protection and management of historic monuments and sites. The laboratory was established in 2010 by University of Gothenburg in co-operation with both governmental and non-governmental heritage organisations, craft enterprises and trade organisations. The operational agenda is developed in continuing dialogue-seminars with stakeholders in craft communities. The call from the many times isolated craftspersons and fragile communities are congregation, sharing of experiences and support to develop new skills. The voices are radically contradicting the traditional notion of the ‘guild spirit’ within craft production. The Craft Laboratory has in cooperation with the communities of interest developed methods for capacity building, sharing and skill development. Examples of activities are enterprise networks, practice sharing in workshops and ‘open-restorations’, formats for master-classes, consensus seminars on good practices, film records and craft protocols for documentation, and practice-based craft research scholarship. The modelling of the Craft Laboratory is presented in theoretical light of heritage enactivism, people or community based-conservation and how to negotiate authenticity and find eligible ways of expanding traditional processes to make them sustainable in contemporary society. The examples of actions are problematized in regard of how to protect, transmit and share the embodied practices in heritage crafts.

Hantverkare emellan: perspektiv på hantverkens kunskapskultur

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I den här boken möts hantverkare för att tala om hantverksmetoder, material och redskap, men också om olika yrkesvägar och sätt att lära sig ett hantverk. Boken är resultatet av ett projekt som syftar till att stimulera den informella utbildningen, den som bygger på personliga möten och kunskapsöverföring mellan hantverkare. Tanken är också att visa hur intervjuer och observationer kan användas som redskap i det livslånga lärandet.

Crafting Cultural Heritage
- 2016
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- The making of artefacts is a core activity in society, the result of which contributes to the building up of our physical surroundings and material culture. Throughout history, craft skills have been highly appreciated and have often been seen as crucial component of a capable human. Despite this, the knowledge base that constitutes the actual making is often overlooked in research. What can we learn about things by learning about their making? How do different craft skills offer an understanding of its historical use? How can theoretical and methodological approaches be developed concerning the actual making? How can we study and understand craft as cultural heritage? This book contains a selecion of papers from the session Crafting Cultural Heritage at the Assosiation of Critical Heritage studies inaugural conference Re/theorising Heritage 2012 in Gothenburg. The contributors are Anneli Palmsköld; Thomas Laurien; Eleonora Lupo and Elena Giunta; Gunnar Almevik and Nicola Donovan. Their common interest are theories and methods of crafting that could benefit heritage studies approach to making.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- During the Antarctica expedition CHAQ2020, several cultural heritage sites – remains from the Swedish South Polar Expedition (1901–1903) – were documented using a range of different techniques and technologies. These physical monuments and environments are for all intents and purposes unavailable for most researchers due to their remote location and are also threatened by the effects of climate change. Hence, the deployed documentation techniques and technologies were selected both as a consequence of the inherently difficult conditions in Antarctica, where their reliance, durability, and speed were key considerations, but also for their perceived ability to document the unique and fragile environment. The documentation was carried out with the double intention of both allowing for observations in situ through processes of analytical drawings and data capture, but also capturing the environment as broadly and deeply as possible, in essence making a copy of it open for studies of unknown unknowns, that could serve as a source material for research questions still undefined. Hence, with the documentation of the winter station on Snow Hill Island as a case study, and with a perspective on documentation as a method through which to process, preserve, and disseminate information, this article serves to critically detail, compare, and evaluate the digital techniques and technologies that the expedition deployed to capture architectural elements and spatial contexts, and the data that could be obtained through these.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Craft-persons use sensory assessments in their procedures and in their choices of methods, thus personal and situated experiences are significant in the knowledge development within a craft practice. However, such experiential knowledge is hard to verbalise and this raises problems when the knowledge is to be analysed and communicated. Knowledge development and knowledge communication has a central position in academia, but when it comes to research in practice-based domains, we may sense a gap. In this presentation we will show different approaches to research in the field of craft. We invited a group of practitioner-researchers to present their methods of inquiry in their own craft in an anthology, and together they explore what unites them as craft researchers. These craft researchers represent very different craft contexts such as carpentry, ceramics, culinary crafts, gardening, boatbuilding, blacksmithing, weaving, textile conservation, building conservation, traditional painting and furniture design and they all have personal experience as practitioners in their fields. We will present and discuss some of the cases while highlighting the importance of research through practice and the need to develop a common discipline of research practices for the ‘craft sciences’. Through this project we also found that it is of importance to let practitioner-researchers publish in a way that justifies their research. Through audio-visual media it is possible to come closer to the actions and movements of a practice, showing a more dynamic and multimodal view of the studied features than the mere text based academic article may facilitate. We thus claim that by publishing practitioner-researchers work in net-based publications that allow for multimedia content we may expose the breadth of topics, source material, methods, perspectives and results and what unites the research. We hope to present this collection of examples as an inspiration for researchers and practitioners to explore and develop further.
