SECOND UPDATED EDITION, WITH THREE ALL-NEW CHAPTERS
The first edition of _Making is Connecting_ struck a chord with
crafters, YouTubers, makers, music producers, artists and coders
alike. David Gauntlett argues that through making things, people
engage with the world and create connections with each other. Online
and offline, we see that people want to make their mark, and to make
connections.
This shift from a ‘sit-back-and-be-told culture’ to a
‘making-and-doing culture’ means that a vast array of people are
exchanging their own ideas, videos, and other creative material
online, as well as engaging in real-world crafts, music projects, and
hands-on experiences. Drawing on evidence from psychology, politics,
philosophy, and economics, Gauntlett shows that this everyday creative
engagement is necessary and essential for the happiness and survival
of modern societies.
This fully revised second edition includes many new sections as well
as three brand new chapters on creative processes, do-it-yourself
strategies, and platforms for creativity.
