“There are features of the world that are only available – or made available – by craft practices”, philosopher Bengt Molander states. Making means the engagement of the practitioner’s body with the world here and now, involving mostly non-discursive, embodied and relational knowledge. The knowledge of craftspeople was what the Greeks called mētis, or a wisdom required in situations of transformation and metamorphosis. Logocentrism, dualism and knowledge hierarchy in the Western cognitive tradition resulted in disregard of the bodily knowledge in legitimate knowledge production. In this talk, I will illustrate in which ways  ethnographical research through practice provides clues to the knowledge involved in making.

Ewa Klekot is a cultural anthropologist, translator, and curator and currently a professor at SWPS University’s Design Institute.
