The trade manufacture and design of English blacksmithing in the post-War period

Hawkins, David James January 1996 (has links)
Blacksmithing has undergone a dramatic transformation in the last twenty five years. This study examines the changes and the context within which they have taken place. The effects upon the products of the blacksmith are considered through empirical research and practical work. The working methods and philosophies of blacksmiths representative of a continuity of traditions and innovatory practice are investigated through interviews and other approaches. From its origins as a rural and industrial craft, blacksmithing has emerged in the form of art-blacksmithing. Institutional and government intervention, new technologies and markets provide the context in which the ideologies and practices are examined. It is argued that these new blacksmiths are selfconscious designer-makers who are technically innovative, and commercially aware, operating successfully between and within the cultural and commercial arenas. In combining practical and decorative functionalism, and producing site-specific art work at a competitive price, artist blacksmiths successfully inhabit the worlds of art, industry, trade and craft, often simultaneously.

Homens de ferro. Os ferreiros na África central no século XIX / Men of iron. Blacksmiths in central Africa in the nineteenth century

Silva, Juliana Ribeiro da 22 August 2008 (has links)
Essa monografia tem como objetivo compreender a atuação dos ferreiros frente às transformações ocorridas no século XIX na África central. As inúmeras modificações ocorridas na região afetaram diretamente a vida dos ferreiros. A intensificação do chamado comércio legal e o acesso às áreas mais interioranas levaram ao aumento da solicitação do trabalho desses especialistas, que rapidamente se adequaram às novas demandas e souberam aproveitar as oportunidades surgidas. A introdução da metalurgia do ferro na África central proporcionou intensas modificações nas sociedades africanas, contribuindo para colocar os ferreiros num lugar privilegiado dentro das suas comunidades. O trabalho do ferreiro, além de ser exclusivamente masculino, era cercado por segredos inacessíveis à maioria. A visão de mundo baseada no equilíbrio entre homem e natureza exigia desse profissional, não apenas o conhecimento profundo do meio-ambiente, mas também das forças espirituais que o regem. Por isso, esses especialistas desempenhavam inúmeros papéis além daqueles ligados propriamente ao seu ofício, como a participação nas cerimônias de entronização e morte de chefes e, em algumas regiões, nos rituais ligados à fertilidade. / The subject of this work is to understand the role of blacksmiths within the transformations of the nineteenth century in Central Africa. The many modifications that took place in the region directly changed the way of life of the blacksmiths. The intensification of the so called legal trade in the region and the access to inland areas led to the increase request of these professionals which rapidly adequate their selves to the new demands, benefiting from the new opportunities. The introduction of iron metallurgy in Central Africa provided intense modifications in African societies and contributed to put the blacksmiths in a special place. Ironworking was exclusively masculine and surrounded by secrets hidden to most people. The African vision of world based on the balance between men and nature required from the blacksmiths not only a profound knowledge about the environment but also a vast perception of the spiritual forces that regulate it. Therefore the blacksmiths played innumerous roles besides their professional and technical assignments. They participate as key figures in inauguration and death ceremonies of chiefs and in some regions also in fertility rituals.
