The Work of Art in the Age of Etsy: Post Benjamin "Craftivism" as Fuzzy, Handknit Fascism
I was waiting for The Warren’s inaugural issue to come online; apparently it’s been here for quite some time, unbeknown to me.
I don’t expect my friends to be excited about something I wrote for an undergraduate course last year. But I thought I’d post this link as a record—really more for myself than anyone else. Flip to page seven.
More importantly, please check out pieces from totally hot, talented babes Maria Konstantinova (p. 20) and Arthur Hain (p. 22).
Just in case you were wondering, I often troll Etsy, and overall I’ve had positive experiences on the site. As both a buyer and a seller, I regularly participate in the “capitalist ritual” the website promotes. So there.
