BOOKS
"O’Connor is one of the most original ethnographers of the senses and materiality."
"O’Connor’s 'globlet' is funny, humbling, and genuinely useful..."
"A thoughtful, sharply observed book with real visual power."
"Sociologists and ethnographers will appreciate the considerable theory that O’Connor has amassed, both historical and contemporary."
"Fire Craft arrives with the kind of intellectual ambition that can easily curdle into a theory-heavy performance. Erin E. O’Connor has the better instinct. Her study of glassblowers is serious, physically grounded, and unexpectedly sensuous, a book that treats labor, art, embodiment, class, gender, and desire not as separate academic lanes but as forces colliding in the same overheated room."
