Alternative Histories in DIY Cultures & Maker Utopias
As DIY digital maker culture proliferates globally, research on these
practices is also maturing. Still, particular terminologies dominate beyond
their Western contexts, and technocultural histories of making are often
rendered as over-simplified technomyths that render invisible diverse local
practices. This special issue brings together contributions that highlight how
historicising plays a role in mythmaking and the creation of social
imaginaries.
The issue includes diverse and excellent contributions of full papers,
exploratory papers, two interviews and a series of short (hi)stories. Our
Introduction editorial is available open access
. Each article is available from Transcript/De Gruyter here
.
The full issue available to order in print or PDF can be found here
. After one year it will be open access on the journal website
.
All the best,
Cindy Kohtala, Yana Boeva & Peter Troxler (guest editors)
