The Journal of Modern Craft

期刊简介：The Journal of Modern Craft is the first peer-reviewed academic journal to provide an interdisciplinary and international forum in its subject area. It addresses all forms of making that self-consciously set themselves apart from mass production—whether in the making of designed objects, artworks, buildings, or other artefacts. The journal covers craft in all its historical and contemporary manifestations, from the mid-nineteenth century, when handwork was first consciously framed in opposition to industrialization, through to the present day, when ideas once confined to the “applied arts” have come to seem vital across a huge range of cultural activities. Special emphasis is placed on studio practice, and on the transformations of indigenous forms of craft activity throughout the world. The journal also reviews and analyses the relevance of craft within new media, folk art, architecture, design, contemporary art and other fields. The Journal of Modern Craft is the main scholarly voice on the subject of craft, conceived both as an idea and as a field of practice in its own right. Funded in part by the Windgate Charitable Foundation with support from The Centre for Craft, Creativity & Design, whose mission is to advance the understanding of craft by encouraging and supporting research, scholarship and professional development. www.americanstudiocrafthistory.org . The Journal of Modern Craft gratefully welcomes this and all other support that it receives.

【译文】《现代工艺杂志》是第一份经过同行评审的学术期刊，在其学科领域提供跨学科和国际论坛。它涉及所有自觉地将自己与大规模生产区分开来的制作形式——无论是在设计物品、艺术品、建筑还是其他人工制品的制作中。该杂志涵盖了手工艺的所有历史和当代表现形式，从十九世纪中叶开始，当时手工制品首次有意识地反对工业化，一直到今天，曾经局限于“应用艺术”的思想在广泛的文化活动中显得至关重要。特别强调工作室实践以及世界各地本土手工艺活动形式的转变。该杂志还回顾和分析了手工艺在新媒体、民间艺术、建筑、设计、当代艺术和其他领域的相关性。 《现代工艺杂志》是工艺主题的主要学术声音，它本身既被视为一种理念，又被视为一个实践领域。部分由 Windgate 慈善基金会资助，并得到工艺、创意与设计中心的支持，该中心的使命是通过鼓励和支持研究、学术和专业发展来增进对工艺的理解。 www.americanstudiocrafthistory.org。 《现代工艺杂志》衷心欢迎这一支持以及它收到的所有其他支持。
