Abstract

Craft as a creative industry has received increased public, academic and policy attention in recent years. However, this tends to centre on a Westernised, white, middle-class version of craft practice associated with values of authenticity, the valorisation of the handmade, and ‘hipster’ culture. At the same time, despite a rich body of work on inequalities in the cultural industries, some of which is published in this journal, little attention has been given to craft. These matters are addressed in this special issue which interrogates the character and workings of the contemporary craft economy and provides much needed insight into experiences of inequality in the sector, drawing on research from the Global North and South. It also includes Cultural Commons contributions from Susan Luckman, Carol Tulloch and Saskia Warren which reflect on various aspects of contemporary craft.

特刊导言:工艺经济和不平等

近年来，手工艺作为一种创意产业受到了越来越多的公众、学术界和政策的关注。然而，这往往集中在西方化的、白人的、中产阶级的工艺实践上，这些工艺实践与真实性、手工制作的价值和“潮人”文化有关。与此同时，尽管有大量关于文化产业不平等的研究，其中一些发表在本刊上，但很少有人关注手工艺。这些问题将在本期特刊中讨论，本期特刊将探讨当代工艺经济的特征和运作方式，并借鉴全球北方和南方的研究，为该行业的不平等经验提供急需的见解。它还包括Susan Luckman, Carol Tulloch和Saskia Warren的文化共享贡献，这些贡献反映了当代工艺的各个方面。
