Title: Landscapes of participatory making, modding and hacking : maker culture and makerspaces /
Authors: Lim, Kenneth Y. T.,
Year: 2017
Subjects: Makerspaces
Abstract: This book describes maker culture as it is manifested in particular socio-cultural contexts, and describes some of the underlying narratives behind the emergence of such cultures and hackerspaces. With reference to case studies, it invites a recasting of long-standing academic notions of industrialization, industrial location, urbanization, and regional divides. The volume approaches this emergent socio-cultural phenomenon from an academic perspective, and, as such, differs from existing studies in this field as it is the first to approach maker culture and makerspaces by tracing trajectories from academic literature.
