Handicrafts of Evil: The Make-Culture of Folk Horror
Get PDFWhat does craft activity mean for the reiteration of folk-culture? This chapter argues that craft represents part of the ‘skewed belief systems and morality’ (Scovell 2017) apparent in Folk Horror narratives and traces this back to the British love/hate, value/trash, upper/lower class rifts and shifts in how craft is viewed. During lockdown there has been an uprush of crafting from the general populace. Along with an odd ‘moralising’ tone about making (usually slightly rubbish) crafted artefacts, the relentless drive towards ‘well-being’ seems to have gone somewhat off course. In 2001, Bill Brown coined the term ‘Thing theory’ (2001:4). Things, he argues, serve ‘to index a certain limit or liminality to hover over the threshold between the nameable and unnameable, the figurable and unfigurable, the identifiable and the unidentifiable’(2004: 4–5). This chapter examines made the ‘things’ in folk horror that not only ‘hover’ over the gaps between the tangible and the nontangible, but which smash through the fabric of the supernatural into the realm of the real: the actual and the material

The role of public art in forging hybrid ‘realist-modernist’ architecture and public spaces in the GDR.
Get PDFHow do we define “modernist” in the East German context? Should scholars be pointing to the differences or the similarities with the once impenetrable fortress of Western modernism? A nuanced picture helps to identify the uniqueness and thus case for appropriate evaluation in terms of heritage of East German architectural ensembles.
In spite of the pressures created by the shift to industrialised building the ‘realist’ ideal of a socialist architecture, was able to continually re-invent itself.
Whilst the term was not embraced by reforming theorists and practitioners who sought to be ‘modern’ and ‘modernist’, these reformers too sought to locate but largely dematerialise the socialist qualities of architecture. The dilemma of how satisfy realist demands and modernist desires was in large part resolved through the role played by public art within a built environment, conceptualised within the discipline of design as it emerged in the late 1950s and early 1960s
