Schaffer 2011
From Commonplace Book
Novel craft
- 7: possibly too insistent on the oddness of Victorian handicraft, the difference that roots it in a particular cultural context, because that oddness is also part of its transtemporal power. A historicism between Schaffer and Felski.
- a "counterpoint" to global theories, as she calls it on 15: eminently sensible
- 14 handicraft as an important subgroup of Freedgood's Thing culture
- other thing theory books: Plotz, Freedgood, Armstrong's Glassworlds, Bill Brown's Things, Lorraine Daston's Things that Talk
