Animal laborans und homo faber: eine historische Annäherung an die "handwerkliche Orientierung" (Animal laborans and homo faber: a historical approach to "handwerkliche Orientierung") (2019)

unapi

Die "Wiederentdeckung des Handwerks" und die "Renaissance des Manuellen" geht vor allem von Richard Sennetts Versuch aus, das Handwerkliche an sich zu fassen. Der Beitrag setzt sich daher mit der These Sennetts von der "handwerklichen Orientierung" (craftsmanship) auseinander, die er als ein dauerhaftes menschliches Grundbestreben sieht, "den Wunsch, eine Arbeit um ihrer selbst willen gut zu machen." Der Beitrag schliesst dagegen mit einem Plädoyer für eine historische Analyse handwerklicher Arbeit und fordert, den "kraftvollen Materialismus" Sennetts durch eine technikhistorische Perspektive zu ergänzen. [The "rediscovery of craftsmanship" and the "renaissance of the manual" is mainly based on Richard Sennett's attempt to take hold of the craftsmanship itself. The article therefore deals with Sennett's thesis of "craftsmanship", which he sees as a permanent basic human endeavor, "the desire to do a job well for its own sake". The article concludes with a plea for a historical analysis of craftsmanship and calls for Sennett's "powerful materialism" to be supplemented by a technical-historical perspective.
