This volume moves away from the model of knowledge ‘transfer’ and, drawing on new understandings of artisan work, considers the links between artisan creativity and mobility. Through case studies of different industries, it emphasizes traditions of migration, the experience of moving, and the stimulus provided by new economic and work environments. For both male and female artisans, the weight of these factors varied from one trade to another, and from place to place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  List of Figures and Tables  Notes on Contributors    1 Introduction   Artisan Mobility and Innovation in Pre-industrial Europe   David Garrioch  2 Shared Skills and Technologies of Community Formation   Artisanal Epistemologies, Secrecy and Governmentality in Long-term Context   Bert De Munck  3 Artisan Mobility and the Circulation of Knowledge in the Glass Industry in Early Modern Europe   Corine Maitte  4 Seducing Europe   Swiss Sugar-bakers on the Move   Margrit Schulte Beerbühl  5 Circulation of Artisans and Techniques in Construction Sites in Early Modern Europe   Nicoletta Rolla  6 Foreign Furniture-makers and Innovation in Eighteenth-Century Paris   David Garrioch  7 Making and Marketing Porcelain in Eighteenth-century London   Matthew Martin  8 The Eckhardt Family   Inventors on the Move in the Dutch Republic and England, c.1760–1820   Karel Davids  9 A Difficult Matching   Female Artisans, Technical Knowledge and Inventions in Early Modern Savoy-piedmont   Beatrice Zucca Micheletto  10 Made in France?    British Women Workers in the Eighteenth-century Paris Fashion Trades   Simon Macdonald  11 Innovation, Mobility and Knowledge Transfer in Madrid, 1680–1820   José Antolín Nieto Sánchez  12 Painters on the Move in Seventeenth-century Europe   Maarten Prak and Sander Karst    Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210842497367,"sku":"9789004513242","price":143.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-republic-of-skill-artisan-mobility-innovation-and-the-circulation-of-knowledge-in-premodern-europe-9789004513242","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
