Samenvatting
Met lit. opg. Lezing gehouden op het dertiende `World congress of sociology', georganiseerd door de International sociological association, gehouden 18-23 juli 1994 in Bielefeld, Duitsland. Exploration of the relationship between skilled, creative work and the life experience of producers. It is argued that craftspeople from mediaeval to modern times in Great Britain have not in practice enjoyed the high levels of freedom and creativity which have for the past century at least, been regarded as characteristic of their work. By contrast, in China, during the late Ming and early Quing dynasties, the literati did enjoy a life style which involved a high level of freedom of expression and personal creativity. By exploring the relationship between producers, sellers, patrons and public the author seeks to provide a sociological explanation for these differences.
