摘要

At first glance, the worlds of Moroccan carpet weavers and French organic farmers seem disparate, even incongruous. The latter, some might argue, scarcely fit within the bounds of cultural design. However, through the discerning lens of historical contexts, embodied knowledge, and the transformative process of repetitive engagement with materialsMaterial and tools, Myriem Naji (Critical craft. Routledge, pp. 153–167, 2020) brings these seemingly disparate practicesPractice into a shared frame. Naji’s longitudinal ethnographicEthnography study reveals the resilienceResilience strategies both communities employ to withstand the relentless forces of global trade and production.
