About Studio Studies:
Studio Studies is an agenda setting volume that presents a set of empirical case studies that explore and examine the studio as a key setting for aesthetic and material production. As such, Studio Studies responds to three contemporary concerns in social and cultural thought: first, how to account for the situated nature of creative and cultural production; second, the challenge of reimagining creativity as a socio-materially distributed practice rather than the cognitive privilege of the individual; and finally, to unravel the parallels, contrasts and interconnections between studios and other sites of cultural-aesthetic and technoscientific production, notably laboratories. By enquiring into the operations, topologies and displacements that shape and format studios, this volume aims to demarcate a novel and important object of analysis for empirical social and cultural research as well to develop new conceptual repertoires to unpack the multiple ways studio processes shape our everyday lives.
Studio Studies is published by Routledge and is part of the CRESC series which establishes the importance of innovative contemporary, comparative and historical work on the relations between social, cultural and economic change
Editors: Ignacio Farías is a sociologist and an Assistant Professor of the Munich Center for Technology in Society and the Department of Architecture at the Technische Universität München. Alex Wilkie is a Senior Lecturer in Design at Goldsmiths and a sociologist.
Contributors: Tomás Ariztía, James Ash, Ariane Berthoin Antal, Georgina Born, Ignacio Farías, Emmanuel Grimaud, Antoine Hennion, Sophie Houdart, Mike Michael Erin O’Connor, Laurie Waller, Alex Wilkie.
Both events will be followed by a drinks reception.
