GOOD NEWS!

!!NEW SERIES!!
Design Meanings is a book series of international publications in English and German that gathers contributions to the international discourse and critical reflections on the practice of design in its various forms, including Design Research, Design Theory, Design Studies, Design Anthropology, Design Philosophy and Epistemology, Social Design, Design Politics, Design Methodology or Design History.

Its first title, Design (&) Activism, is a book about how the worlds of design and activism (could) inspire each other. As Design and its conceptual, functional, aesthetic, speculative and interventional concepts inevitably affect our lives, it often actively interferes in common definitions, understandings and opinion making, which offers opportunities for ideological engagement (in a good or in a bad sense). The book focuses on theories and practices related to the role of Design in terms of addressing, provoking and creating political discourse. Starting from traditional forms of protest, visual languages of resistance, to new forms of digital participation, this will help us to better understand the rituals, structures and meanings of design activism in history and the present, clarifying that design is intrinsically social and supremely political. And it shall help us to derive arguments and examples for the transformative potential of future design (and) activism.

Dear friends of the Design Research Colloquium,

in our last colloquium for this semester, on thursday, 4 July, Paola Pierri will share with us her thoughts on "Design for Activism in the Digital Ecosystems: Stigma, Access and Inequalities”. Paola's research interest develops from her practice and is situated in the wider field of studies on citizens’ participation and the formation of the public space, and specifically explores the ways in which digital technologies are shaping activists’ tactics and ways of mobilising dissent. She is particularly interested in how design impacts questions of inclusion and exclusion, especially in regard to questions of politics of participation and agency.

Looking forward to seeing you on thursday, 9:30h at Einsteinufer 43-53 (Room 203).
