Ingenio artesanal y desviación comercial de las artesanías en el estado de Morelos

Abstract

This comparative analysis of two craft traditions of the state of Morelos examines the organizational consequences that happen when modifying the value of use of crafts in order to satisfy tourist demands. This commercial deviation has implied multiple changes. The article focuses in the cultural aspects that constrain the development of craftsmanship and its role in cultural consumption through the continuity of a crafts tradition, and how this renders a different light on the labor among new generations.
