Full textThe author discusses postdevelopment theory by exploring unintentional effects of development practices in Cape Town's craft scene. A heterodox research design is adopted, drawing on Pierre Bourdieu's ideas on cultural production, notions of authenticity, representation and the modern/traditional dichotomy as well as thoughts on the making of a New South African identity. This is applied to the dynamics of Cape Town's craft scene in the pursuit of answering four research questions: (i) What role does the township play in the image of post-apartheid South Africa? (ii) How does development discourse contribute to the re-imagining of post-apartheid South Africa through 'township craft'? (iii) Is development discourse conducive to maintaining and creating tensions between centres and peripheries in the New South Africa? (iv) To what extent can a heterodox research design contribute to the postdevelopment debate? Through the socio-semiotic analysis of qualitative data obtained from interviews with fourteen stakeholders in Cape Town's craft scene as well as observations made at sites, where 'township craft' is presented and/or produced, the author is able to give three main insights in relation to the stated questions: (i) The image of the township, represented through cultural commodities, plays a crucial role as a place of creativity and positive change in the making of a post-apartheid identity. (ii) Development discourse manifests itself in the making of a New South African identity through material culture in the form of 'township craft' and its conceptual as well as spatial contexts. (iii) The use of development discourse in the making and marketing of 'township craft' in combination with supposedly 'common knowledge' about the art/craft divide has the potential to create and maintain patterns of inequality between producers and sellers of 'township craft'. A recommendation is made to explore further possibilities of heterodox research designs for studies using a postdevelopment theoretical framework.

Full textIncludes bibliographical references (p. 87-90).
In the non-Western context, there always has been a dilemma between "who we are" and "who we should be" . One could say "between tradition and modernity" . When the alien culture of building was adopted, the ties with the traditional vernacular processes were snapped off without establishing a critical dialogue between the two. The prevalent primitive modes of production were incongruous with the concepts of mechanization . Moreover, the tradition of the craftsman as a master builder was replaced by the differentiation between the architectural practice, the building industry and the exiting crafts. This issue becomes even more complex in the present context, when the architectural practice and the building industry are subject to the global culture of commodification and homogenization . The architectural practices are churning out 'products' that appropriate the local idioms into universal themes without undergoing the 'process' of transformation and metamorphosis into a contemporary vocabulary. The industry, on the other hand, is assuming global references and has a thrust towards universal building materials and systems that ignore the regional resource base. In the kitsch that is generated, the 'regional identity' is lost . Left behind is historical mimicry, thematic interpretations and ethnic nostalgia. One cannot deny that the global culture of integration/homogenization is as much a reality as the local culture of differentiation/uniqueness. Critically looking at this intersection, this thesis states the issue again as: "What kind of a 'culture of building' would generate an 'aesthetic' that draws references from its regional context and is also true to contemporary? There are some alternate practices that sit at the intersection of local and universal aspirations. They achieve a design economy by emphasizing on the larger web of the extended natural patterns of the region . They respect the vernacular aesthetic where the building processes are composed essentially of relationships in time and place. Thus, their culture of building represents a 'process' that integrates the architectural practice with the local crafts and the existing building industry towards an aesthetic that is both regional and contemporary. This thesis represents an effort to formulate an alternative paradigm or a reference language to the current architectural practice in India, that is not subject to the global culture of commodification and homogenization but is rooted in its context. metamorphosis and transformation. This thesis argues that a bias towards the 'process' and not the 'product' has greater potential to render an aesthetic of the place.

Avec le mouvement de la r?forme des centres psychiatriques de soins psychosociaux qui font la cr?ation d'ateliers importants dispositifs d'accueil des sujets en d?tresse mentale sont cr??s. L'objectif de ce travail est de discuter du fonctionnement de la cr?ation d'ateliers, remettant en question dans quelles conditions les actions constituent ou non un dispositif de promouvoir l'autonomie et l'inclusion sociale dans le domaine de la sant? mentale. Avec la proposition de rechercher des discours / pratiques qui guident une vision de la d?valuation des activit?s manuelles et de domination d'exploitation et la capture subjectivit?s par la production capitaliste imp?ratif, nous adoptons la m?thode g?n?alogique Foucault - qui consiste ? l'analyse historique des connaissances et pratiques - pour enqu?ter sur les conditions de possibilit? qui favorisaient la d?valuation du manuel ? la clinique et la dissociation cons?quente entre cela et faire intellectuel. Notre engagement est de proc?der ? l'analyse du travail comme ontologie, nous trouvons dans les hypoth?ses Arts and Crafts (MAO) ? penser ? d'autres rapports du sujet avec le travail et le faire manuel. Le MAO propose l'appr?ciation du m?tier de fabrication comme une alternative au travail m?canique et st?r?otyp?e de l'?re industrielle qui appauvrit les exp?riences de l'homme dans leurs actions quotidiennes. Nous croyons que la recherche sur les bateaux de fabrication, peut contribuer ? l'analyse de l'utilisation des activit?s manuelles dans la perspective historico-politique de faire manuel comme un dispositif pour favoriser l'autonomie et l'inclusion sociale. Nous comprenons que la recherche sur l'activit? artisanale du travail de conception comme ontologie permettent d'accro?tre la connaissance de la sant? mentale sur la relation de l'homme ? faire aussi bien que contribuer ? une analyse plus puissante sur les faits et gestes des ateliers de cr?ation
Com o movimento da Reforma Psiqui?trica s?o criados os Centros de Aten??o Psicossociais que tomam as oficinas de cria??o como importantes dispositivos de acolhimento dos sujeitos em sofrimento mental. O objetivo deste trabalho ? problematizar o funcionamento das oficinas cria??o, questionando em que condi??es os fazeres constituem ou n?o um dispositivo de promo??o de autonomia e inclus?o social no campo da Sa?de Mental. Com a proposta de pesquisar os discursos/pr?ticas que norteiam uma vis?o de desvaloriza??o das atividades manuais e que operam a domina??o e captura de subjetividades, atrav?s do imperativo capitalista de produ??o, adotamos a metodologia geneal?gica de Foucault ? que consiste na an?lise hist?rica de saberes e pr?ticas ? para investigar as condi??es de possibilidades que promoveram a desvaloriza??o do fazer manual na cl?nica e a consequente dissocia??o entre este e o fazer intelectual. Nossa aposta consiste em realizar a an?lise do trabalho como ontologia, encontramos no Movimento de Artes e Of?cios (MAO) pressupostos para pensar outras rela??es do sujeito com o trabalho e o fazer manual. O MAO prop?e a valoriza??o do fazer artesanal como alternativa ao trabalho mec?nico e estereotipado da ?poca industrial que empobrecia as experi?ncias do homem em suas a??es cotidianas. Acreditamos que a pesquisa sobre o fazer artesanal, possa contribuir para a an?lise do uso das atividades manuais sob a perspectiva hist?rico-pol?tica do fazer manual, como dispositivo que promova a autonomia e inclus?o social. Entendemos que a pesquisa sobre a atividade artesanal a partir da concep??o do trabalho como ontologia, permita ampliar os conhecimentos da Sa?de Mental sobre a rela??o do sujeito com o fazer, assim como contribuir para an?lises mais potentes acerca do fazeres nas oficinas de cria??o.

Full textThis research concerns the techniques of tile and brick-making in Roman time in the provinces ofGaul and Germania. We have only access to these techniques through archaeology. First, there arethe movable vestiges: the objects (tiles and bricks), then there are the real estate vestiges: the tilemakingsites which are regularly uncovered. Only the structures of production are examined here,but it is often made reference to materials. The study is led according to two guidelines. One is horizontal: the “chaîne opératoire”, the other is vertical: Time, from present to past. The structures of production are treated according to the orderof the making process: quarrying, preparing clay, shaping, drying, and firing. Inside each of thesefive phases are successively studied structures of contemporary time (craft production), modern,medieval and finally Gallo-Roman. This regressive approach allows us to bring to light thecontinuities and the breaks in the techniques used and thus, to better characterize and understandthe most ancient of them, the Gallo-Roman tile-makers one. The functioning of the most recentstructures of production sheds light on that of the Roman ones. Punctual comparisons are only usedto try and explain some original characteristics of the Gallo-Roman structures. The most innovativeresults were obtained in the study of the structures used in the phases of shaping, drying and firing

Full textArt and crafts are contemporary mediated logic of production in blogs such as Elo7 (found in crafts ecommerce offered by Elo7), which brings us with testimonials of craftsmen/women, regarding representation in craft making. According to these craftsmen/women, crafts is a way of making art. The main purpose of this research is to analyze the testimonials found in this blog, conceiving them as publicity texts, since they value the craft activity, approaching it to art. We start from Carrascoza s (2004) strategies to analyze publicity texts concept. We also lay our verification of these texts in the French Discourse Analysis
A arte e o artesanato são lógicas de produção mediatizadas na contemporaneidade em blogs como o Elo7 (presente no site de comercialização de produtos artesanais Elo7), que nos traz depoimentos de artesãos, com representações em relação ao fazer artesanal. Na visão desses criadores, o artesanato é uma forma de fazer artístico. Temos como objetivo analisar os depoimentos presentes nesse blog, concebendo-os como textos publicitários, uma vez que valorizam a atividade artesanal, aproximando a da arte. Partimos da conceituação de Carrascoza (2004) para a análise das estratégias do texto publicitário. Nos ancoramos também na Análise de Discurso de Linha Francesa para empreender nossa verificação.

Full textA decision analysis study was conducted on the process of materials selection for high-speed naval craft using the Modified Digital Logic (MDL) method. The purpose is to show how this method along with Ashby's material selection process can be integrated to provide a comprehensive tool designed specifically for light-weight material optimization. Using Ashby's Material Selection Charts and the MDL method, a step by step material selection process is outlined. Furthermore, a comparison of the materials based on equivalent plate uni-axial ideal elastic compressive stress was completed using the American Bureau of Shipbuilding (ABS) Guide for Building and Classing High-Speed Naval Craft and then an evaluation was done to optimize material selection depending on the designer's preference for weight and cost, The potential materials for evaluation were selected using Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) references for the most current materials in use, or being evaluated, for light weight naval construction. The results demonstrate the feasibility of using the MDL method to select one or more materials based on desired mechanical and structural characteristics. The study also introduces the potential use of non-traditional materials in Naval Architecture, such as Ultra High-Performance Concrete Composite (UHP2C) DUCTAL.
