Through long-term ethnography, grounded in apprenticeship to master coppersmith Jesús Pérez Ornelas, Feder-Nadoff?s intimate description of communal and artisanal life in Santa Clara del Cobre, Michoacán, México provides a critical reappraisal of aesthetics and compelling ways to think about how aura and agency are produced. By mapping flows and frictions between persons, places, and things, this study closes the gap between economic and socio-political analysis of craft, on the one hand, and aesthetic, material, and phenomenological studies of making, on the other. Although craft historically plays a prominent national, even ideological role in Mexico, as in many countries, most artisans ironically remain absent, often living in marginalized, precarious circumstances. By tracing the cycles of life, death, and afterlife, of these maker-protagonists, their bodies of knowledge, skilled performances, and objects, this poetic monograph testifies to their presence. 606 $aAnthropology and the arts 606 $aEthnology 606 $aPhilosophical anthropology 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aEthnology$zLatin America 606 $aCulture 606 $aAnthropology of the Arts 606 $aEthnography 606 $aAnthropological Theory 606 $aLatin American Culture 615 0$aAnthropology and the arts. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aPhilosophical anthropology. 615 0$aAnthropology. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 14$aAnthropology of the Arts. 615 24$aEthnography. 615 24$aAnthropological Theory. 615 24$aLatin American Culture. 676 $a701.03 700 $aFeder-Nadoff$b Michele Avis$01740621 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910864182503321 996 $aAn Anthropology of Making in Santa Clara Del Cobre$94166399 997 $aUNINA
