Item type:Publication, Social Systems of Flexible Production: Organizational Conditions for the Resurgence of CraftAgainst the background of a growing interest in the resurgence of craft work, this article examines the organizational conditions that characterize craft- based production in contemporary society and how they help to facilitate craft resurgence. The paper identifies three organizational conditions of contemporary craft-based production, relating to the mass market, producing by means of flexible specialization, and using infrastructures. By applying a historical lens, I argue that these organizational conditions have formed into a particular way of organizing craft-based production which is attuned to local and temporal specificities. There- fore, this study builds on a complementary, symbiotic notion of craft which considers industrial manufacture, serial production and digital technologies to be constitu- tive of craft making. By offering an alternative conceptual framework to grasp the resurgence of craft, this article contributes to the understanding of organizational resilience.Type:journal articleJournal:Journal of Organizational Sociology - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Social interaction on craft fairs. Furthering communality, visibility, and trade.(2023-09-23); Although digitalisation has had an impact on the business of fairs, especially during the years of the pandemic, the Covid-19 crisis has clearly shown that social interaction is vital for small businesses, such as craft enterprises. The physical co-presence of craft objects, makers and users as well as the immediateness of personal contact play a major role at craft fairs. Fairs revolve around trade, which is furthered by the many cultural and social aspects that constitute them. We argue that social interaction in marketplaces goes beyond economic transactions and show that face-to-face interactions are essential for building trust and social order. We identify different types of social interaction at craft fairs, all of which are collaborative-fostering a sense of community, developing products and increasing their visibility-in addition to being an economic transaction. This study is based on ethnographic research on craft fairs and craft producers in the field of furniture and garment making. We conclude by arguing that the findings on craft fairs can also be generalised to other cases.Type:journal articleJournal:FORMakademiskVolume:16Issue:4 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, New forms of organizing occupational work: Craft-based reconfiguration through enchanting occupational objects, humanizing roles and grounding purposes(2024-07-05); Kroezen, JochemAbstract In this paper, we build on the emerging craft perspective on work to imagine alternative occupational trajectories and explore the craft-based reconfiguration of occupational fields. We challenge the conventional imagery of bureaucratic professionalization and the inherent supremacy of formal expertise by arguing that craft imaginaries can be drawn into occupational fields and reconsecrate embodied and relational forms of knowing and practicing. We draw on various phenomenological examples to imagine three relevant dynamics that craft imaginaries can elicit: (1) enchanting occupational objects, (2) humanizing occupational roles and (3) grounding occupational purposes. We suggest that these dynamics can inspire change in occupational practices, status hierarchies, and the demography of practitioners. We discuss how such dynamics may be observed across a variety of occupational fields and how our theory can shed new light on important occupational dynamics in the 21st century.Type:conference paper - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
