Abstract:
This study deals with collective representations of handcrafts, which were elaborated by the Song (960-1279) literati. Stirred by the strong demand of urban populations, this ideology was constituted combining the literati's interpretations of the classical tradition, the social promotion of talent and technical know-how, and the standardization of specialized knowledge in response to government demands. This process had a long-term social impact, in terms of both the professional identity of workers, and the social perceptions of technical knowledge.
