This volume arises out of workshops bringing together anthropologists studying issues of skill-learning initially titled The Transmission of knowledge. Editor Marchand (social anthropology, U. of London, UK) has changed the theme to "making knowledge" to better reflect how knowledge arises out of a dialogical and constructive engagement between people, and between minds, bodies, and environment. Ten papers specifically discuss: a neuroanthropological perspective on embodied learning; auscultation and the transmission of auditory knowledge; skilful learning and Kazakh women's everyday craft practices in western Mongolia; notation and knowledge-making among Central Slovak lace-makers; embodied cognition and communication among British fine woodworkers; the relations between the experience of weather, bodily movement, and the formation of knowledge; East Javanese conceptions of the person; embodied learning and the weaving of mats on hand looms in South India; and knowledge and ignorance as mutually constitutive within social and political relations.
