Call for publication in the Thematic Dossier Craft knowledge and education.

Craft knowledge and education.

“Craftsmanship does not win us over solely because of its usefulness. It lives in complicity with our senses and from there it is so difficult to detach us from it”
(Octavio Paz, 2004, p.16)

This proposal launches the following provocations: what are the artistic, inventive and educational possibilities that craft practices and knowledge summon when put into dialogue in art classes? How do artists and teachers articulate knowledge, feelings and crafts in their artistic and pedagogical poetics? How to make visible the tensions, both in practice and discursively, of the relationship between art and crafts? And to what extent are these debates dense in the school context in general?
As a way of problematizing the practices that are generally neglected inside and outside the academic context, to the detriment of the monopolization of a knowledge that leaves out the importance of doing, it is invited to think together about the subject. Therefore, a way is opened to generate debate, reflection and the sharing of experiences around the artistic making that embraces the artisanal work; around educational practices that dialogue with other knowledge and shorten the distances between doing, feeling and thinking.
In this sense, we invite researchers, professors and artists from all over the country and abroad to propose texts and/or essays derived from completed or ongoing research, and whose works can articulate, in a transdisciplinary way, some of the issues presented in this dossier.
