Inscribing women and gender into histories and reception of design, crafts, and decorative arts of small-scale extra-European cultures
Given the formation of the history of art and the anthropology of art, with their inclusion of archaeology, this paper focuses on the field which has come to consist of the inter-relation between ornament, design, craft, and decorative art. Outlining the historiography of the field and inserting outer-European countries, the paper will exemplify ways in which women brought in a reflection on the nature and meaning of crafts and ornament of small-scale societies. This reflection is closely linked to personal experiences of crafts and ornament and implies a gendering of first-hand reception. Examples from small-scale Indonesian societies single out Dutch contributions to the discourse on extra-European crafts around 1900.
