This volume brings together three essays / three views, which address jointly and gradually - always from the academic field - the complex historical and theoretical relationships established between the creative / productive contexts of art and crafts (ars / métiers), starting from the Enlightenment century, to pass, later, through industrial development, until leading, significantly, in the framework of the current Experimental Fallas, as an outstanding culmination of that fundamental diachronic drift.
