This volume brings together contributions by scholars interested in making and the role of the maker to discuss what new anthropological and sociological approaches might add to our understanding of ancient craft production and its value to the makers and their societies. This volume presents new scholarship on the value and valuing of craft production in ancient societies around the Mediterranean. Ancient economic history, especially when approached archaeologically, has typically — and with good reason — focused upon the objects that were produced by craftspeople, their form and style, and their distribution. Typological approaches necessary for sorting and analysing large bodies of material evidence have also prioritized the final form of artefacts. Yet it was first and foremost the craftspeople behind these items who were responsible for an item’s functionality, its purpose, and its value, and these roles have in recent years received fresh attention in anthropological and sociological studies. The contributions gathered in this volume revolve around the role of makers, their handling of materials, and their place in networks of production and consumption, whilst at the same time remembering that craftspeople were never lone forces but depended on wider networks of supplies, colleagues, and consumers, as well as more ephemeral considerations such as aesthetics and religious value. Through this approach, the volume sheds new light not only on a range of crafts and materials from the ancient world, but also on the value of making and the making of value in ancient Mediterranean societies.

De la grande clef égyptienne d'il y a 4000 ans, à la poignée d'aujourd'hui signée par un artiste, c'est la porte de l'univers de la serrurerie décorative qui est ici entr'ouverte. En Europe, celle-ci prend son vol autour de 1200. Au début du XIVe siècle, le métier de serrurier s'organise en corporations, c'est le temps des pentures ouvragées. Le XVe voit l'apparition des serrures à ornements puis, avec la Renaissance, les modèles gothiques s'effacent devant l'Antiquité qui cède à son tour devant l'esthétique baroque. Mais la suppression des guildes à la fin du XVIIIe siècle, puis l'industrialisation, sonnent le glas du métier. En 1851, l'anglais Linus Yale expose au Crystal Palace une clef plate à cylindre promise à un succès mondial. L'éclectisme, puis l'Art Nouveau et l'Art Déco, relancent la création et les architectes fournissent des dessins aux serruriers. Mais, c'est grâce à l'effort et la constance de quelques artisans d'art, à l'exemple de la firme Vervloet à Bruxelles, que la serrurerie décorative passe le cap du fonctionnalisme architectural de l'après-guerre pour répondre aujourd'hui aux nouvelles exigences des créateurs. http://www.aam.be/fr/mainfr.html
