This paper presents insights into the lived experience of maritime carpentry practices, based on six months of sensory-ethnographic fieldwork as a wooden boat builder’s apprentice. In particular, the author explores the widely-reported experience of tools ‘withdrawing’ from consciousness as craftspeople master their use. Without contradicting these interpretations – many of which are constructed by way of reference to ideas from Merleau-Ponty – the author suggests further theoretical resources to examine the perceptual experience of work after tools cease to be the main focus of the craftsperson’s attention. Heidegger’s idea of ‘circumspection’ is presented as a way to illuminate the relational nature of the subsequent mode of perception, in which the work as a whole fills the consciousness, rather than the individual instruments through which the work is achieved.

木船工作室中工具的关系感知和“感觉”

本文基于作为木船制造商学徒六个月的感官民族志实地考察，对海上木工实践的生活经验提出了见解。特别是，作者探讨了广泛报道的工具从意识中“退出”的经验，因为工匠掌握了它们的使用。在不与这些解释相矛盾的情况下——其中许多解释是通过参考梅洛-庞蒂的想法而构建的——作者建议进一步的理论资源来检查工具不再是工匠注意力的主要焦点后工作的感知体验。海德格尔的“谨慎”概念被呈现为一种阐明随后感知模式的关系本质的方式，其中整个作品充满了意识，
