| Abstract: |
In this paper I explore the notion of everyday creativity as affective practice through the resurrection of craft especially vintage objects and traditional craft practices. These evoke memories of objects from the past. This is explored in relation to two specific sites of organisation: knitting culture through the practice of yarn bombing and vinyl record collecting. These two sites creatively modify cultural and physical landscapes. Taking the affective turn as the basis of the discussion, I explore ways in which tactility and touch intersect with everyday creativity to provide meaning and self-identity but also affective relationships with objects. Thus, the contribution of this paper develops a neglected area of affect and its relation to creativity in organisation studies. I conclude by discussing the affective politics of craft and the resurrection, reproduction and recreation of vintage objects. |
