| contents | <p>Introductory editorial to Special Issue. <br>As DIY digital maker culture proliferates globally, research on these practices is also matu- ring. Still, particular terminologies dominate beyond their Western contexts, and techno- cultural histories of making are often rendered as over-simplified technomyths that render invisible diverse local practices. This special issue brings together contributions that high- light how historicising plays a role in mythmaking and the creation of social imaginaries. The peer-reviewed articles present cultural-historical perspectives, technology and design histories and historiographies, and alternative histories related to postcolonial resistance. The contributions illustrate the relevance of craft to making as a reparative practice after the Salvadoran Civil War and as a leisure activity to spark »innovation« in mid-century corporate culture; the political-economic background to the diffusion and differentiation of communi- ty workshops in contemporary Spain and post-war Germany; and the various aesthetics and politics of technology culture manifestos over the years.<br>The issue features an interview with Peter Harper of the Alternative Technology movement by Simon Sadler, as well as an interview with Felix Holm and Suné Stassen on the antece- dents of making and design in South Africa. The special issue is rounded off with six short alternative (hi)stories of DIY making including multiple practices, geographies and tempo- ralities.</p> |
