MAKING IS CONNECTING: THE SOCIAL POWER OF CREATIVITY, FROM CRAFT AND KNITTING TO DIGITAL EVERYTHING (SECOND EXPANDED EDITION)
Book ID/图书代码： 10963010B42969
English Summary/英文概要： In Making is Connecting, David Gauntlett argues that, through making things, people engage with the world and create connections with each other. Both online and offline, we see that people want to make their mark on the world, and to make connections.
During the previous century, the production of culture became dominated by professional elite producers. But today, a vast array of people are making and sharing their own ideas, videos and other creative material online, as well as engaging in real–world crafts, art projects and hands–on experiences.
Gauntlett argues that we are seeing a shift from a ‘sit–back–and–be–told culture′ to a ‘making–and–doing culture′. People are rejecting traditional teaching and television, and making their own learning and entertainment instead. Drawing on evidence from psychology, politics, philosophy and economics, he shows how this shift is necessary and essential for the happiness and survival of modern societies.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 我們正在經歷一場從“坐下來-聽”到“走出去-做”的文化變革！ 如果你想要瞭解數字分享文化的興起正在如何積極影響著我們的社會生活和個人生活，那麼你完全有必要通讀此書！！ -- 丹佛大學Lynn Schofield Clark
在Making is Connecting一書中，David Gauntlett指出，人們無論做任何事情，都無法避免要參與到世界活動和無限創造與周圍事物關聯的過程當中去。不管線上還是離線，我們不難發現，人們總是希望自己能夠成為世界上令人印象深刻的一枚符號，並且渴望與外界的聯絡。
上世紀，文化產品受到專業製作人的嚴格控制。但是現在人們可以隨心所欲的在互聯網上與網友分享自己的觀點、視頻以及很多創新作品，就像現實生活中的真實經歷一樣。
Gauntlett指出我們正在經歷一場從“坐下來-聽”到“走出去-做”的文化變革。人們排斥傳統的教授模式和電視節目，喜歡自己的學習方式和自娛自樂。在心理學、政治學、哲學和經濟學領域也逐漸出現了此類變革的跡象。同時Gauntlett在書中還指出這一轉變對創建當今幸福、和諧社會的必然性和必要性。（Claire）

If you want to understand how emerging practices in digital participatory cultures can lead to positive transformations in our individual lives and in our societies, you need to read this book."---Lynn Schofield Clark, University of Denver
"Making is Connecting is a remarkably clear, convincing and engaging work. Perhaps the best thing about this book is the way in which Gauntlett draws together the existing literature in this field of creativity and community (particularly online). The book makes sense of Leadbeater, Anderson, Lanier, Shirky and others and shines a light on their strengths and weaknesses in a lucid and convincing fashion."---Andrew Dubber, Birmingham City University
