About the Summer School:
The IIAS & RCSD Summer School at Chiang Mai, during 18-22 August 2014, will focus on the theoretical issue of the knowledge production, transmission and practice of culture against the backdrop of historically contingent case studies featuring transnational circulations of craft. Cartographies, itineraries and biographies of craft are windows into craft -scapes which, much like Barbara Bender’s work on landscapes, are discursively constructed, disputed,worked upon from disparate frames of value and meaning, and used to accomplish goals pertaining to identity, heritage politics, knowledge and power.
