Anthropologists Janet and Charles Keller provide an account of situated learning based on the ethnographic study of blacksmithing. Through both concrete and abstract accomplishment, they demonstrate a dynamic dialectic between knowledge and practice which characterizes this specific trade and much of human behaviour.
