Abstract

Making – an International Conference on Materiality and Knowledge in Notodden 24th-27th September 2012 – aims to provide an arena for discussions on field-specific, inter- and transdisciplinary knowledge production within Making Disciplines/Making Professions/Making Education. The active and creative meaning of the word Making is the first key-concept of the conference and the centre of focus. The making of something in something, a material, renders a focus on the physical and material aspects of making. Materiality is as such the second key-concept of the conference. The third key-concept of the conference, knowledge, emphasizes the need to understand Making as both a knowledge-based and a knowledge-generating process.
