Repairing Tradition: Vernacular Knowledge, Cognitive Spaces, and Economies of Work in an Agricultural Repair Shop
Making and remaking have long been intertwined. While there is a rich history of artisanal, craft, and industrial fabrication in folklore studies and history, histories and studies of repair have only recently begun to emerge as part of a larger effort to re-think the nature of creativity (and thus also of tradition). Dotting urban and rural landscapes around the world, repair shops occupy physical and mental spaces situated between maintaining t…

The study focuses on how …

In her foreword to Hemenway's literary biography of Hurston, she notes that she would choose Mules and Men I would need to be able to pass on to younger generations life of blacks as lege…
