自世纪中期以来，手工艺一直以参与关系为特征，与更广泛的浪漫主义话语产生共鸣，这些话语将工匠理想化，与资本主义生产的异化形式形成鲜明对比。在最近关于手工艺的工作中，参与的分析透镜有效地突出了人类和非人类机构的动态相互作用。我们自己的叙述建立在这些想法的基础上，但认为对接触的概念性界定造成了解释上的问题，排除了民族志对超然在工艺中的作用的关注。专注于保护石匠的熟练做法，我们描述了具体的星座的思想和实践中涉及的切割和固定石头。通过阐明泥瓦匠自己对自己工作的理解，我们强调了他们对传统的“纪律”体现的承诺，作为将个人主体性与他们雕刻的石头分开的一种手段。我们对工作所需的熟练实践的分析质疑了参与的首要地位，相反，这表明分离和参与是相互牵连的关系形式。这一发现为手工艺实践提供了新的视角，并提供了一个重新考虑更广泛的人类学对参与概念的承诺的立场。
Since the mid-nineteenth century, craft has been characterized by relations of engagement, resonating with broader romantic discourses that idealize craftsmen in explicit contrast to forms of alienation linked to capitalist production. In recent work on craft, the analytic lens of engagement usefully highlights the dynamic interplay of human and non-human agencies. Our own account builds on these ideas but suggests that the conceptual privileging of engagement creates interpretative problems, precluding ethnographic attention to the role of detachment in craft. Focusing on the skilled practices of conservation stonemasons, we describe the specific constellations of ideology and practice involved in cutting and fixing stone. Through elucidating masons’ own understandings of their work, we highlight their commitment to the ‘disciplined’ embodiment of tradition as a means of separating personal subjectivity from the stones they carve. Our analysis of the skilled practices required to work stone questions the primacy of engagement, suggesting instead that detachment and engagement are mutually implicated relational forms. This finding sheds new light on craft practice and offers a position from which to reconsider broader anthropological commitments to concepts of engagement.
