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.

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.

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 (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.

A virtual diorama: Methodologising the digital artefact in cultural heritage research

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- During a restoration of the Romanesque church in Hemse in 1896, the remains of a stave church were found as reused floor tiles. The discovery was important at the time, providing new information to a prestigious research field with few sources of knowledge. Today the church’s stave members are esoteric museum artefacts, “re-membered” in various forms of production of history. This poster sets out from an in-deep re-examination and virtual reconstruction of the remains from this stave church. The digital reconstruction functions as a virtual diorama to contextualize the diffused and decontextualized remains and contemporaneous religious artefacts. The aim is methodological, to explore the uses of the digital artefact in the research process. The reconstruction is less of a static representation of our knowledge than a historical laboratory through which archive material can be activated and hypotheses can be tested. We seek to methodologise the virtual diorama, using the technology for testing hypothesis and observe the effects when enacting the environment. The presented research is ongoing and we invite for discussion. How can we, through the digital artefact, elicit the sensuous aspects of a virtual place, and at the same time communicate the rigour of research and display the ambiguities of the reconstruction? How can we in an intelligible way map and reference the archive materials without interfering with the presence effect of the diorama? What are the challenges to present an interactive virtual reality file as a self-standing research output? How can we develop the digital artefact to better engage both researchers and the public in a dialogue on the premises of cultural heritage research?

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Kunskap krävs för vård av äldre byggnader. Men hur vårdar man kunskap? Kan man återuppta förlorat hantverkskunnande? I den här artikeln presenteras Hantverkslaboratoriet, som ett nytt försök att möta ett gammalt problem, nämligen behovet av hantverkskompetens för att vårda äldre byggnader och kulturmiljöer.
