Design Struggles critically assesses the ways in which the design field is involved in creating, perpetuating, promoting and reinforcing injustice and inequality in social, political, economic, cultural and ecological systems. This book shows how this entanglement arose from Eurocentric and neoliberal thinking. The voices and practices represented here propose to question and disrupt the discipline of design from within, by problematizing the very notions of design. They aim to do so by generating new, anti-racist, post-capitalist, queer-feminist, environmentally conscious and community-based ideas on how to transform design. In this way, Design Strugglesstrives to forge sustainable, new practices within the design field that challenge the status quo and amplify underrepresented voices, both in the world of design, as well as beyond.
Die Publikation bietet eine kritische Bewertung der Komplizenschaft des Designs bei der Schaffung, Aufrechterhaltung und Verstärkung sozialer, politischer und ökologischer Probleme, sowohl heute als auch in der Vergangenheit. Um diese disziplinarische Selbstkritik zu befördern, wird Design durch die Schnittstellen von Geschlecht, Kultur, Ethnizität und Klasse beleuchtet. In mehr als 20 Beiträgen entsteht eine dringende und weitreichende Reihe von Stimmen und Ansichten, derjenigen, die nach neuen Ansätzen für die Designgeschichte und Designausbildung suchen.
Aus dem Departement Design sind Paola de Martin, Dozentin BA Design und Tania Messell wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin der Fachrichtung Visual Communication, mit je einem Beitrag vertreten. Der Tagungsband entstand anlässlich der Konferenz «Beyond Change» (2018) des Swiss Design Networks. Die F&E Beauftragte Prof. Dr. Sarah Owens, war als Conference Co-Chair und Teil der Scientific Committee an der Konferenz und Publikation beteiligt.

Not at Your Service. Manifestos for Design | Björn Franke, Hansuli Matter (eds.) [E-Book PDF]
Not at Your Service: Manifestos for Design brings together the broad spectrum of beliefs, subjects and practices of designers at Zurich University of the Arts. It offers different approaches and insights on the present-day role and impact of design. It is not conceived as a finished project, but as a fluid document of its time. Collaborative design, interaction within complex systems, attention economics, the ecological shift, visual literacy, gender-neutral design, «quick and dirty» design ethnography, social responsibility, the value of ugliness, death futures, immersive technologies, identity and crises, design as a transformative discipline – all of these topics are presented for debate with passion, conviction and professional expertise.

Selbsttransformation und charismatisch evangelikale Identität | Francis Müller
CHF 71.00
Eine vergleichende ethnosemantische Lebenswelt-Analyse
Francis Müller untersucht mit einem ethnosemantischen Ansatz eine schweizerische und eine ghanaische charismatisch evangelikale Gemeinschaft im Großraum Zürich. Als zentrales Element kristallisiert sich in den zwei Gemeinschaften die Konversion und die damit verbundene Selbsttransformation heraus, welche in den zwei Gemeinschaften mit unterschiedlichen kulturellen Themen in Verbindung gebracht wird. Die erstrebte radikale Selbsttransformation ist riskant, weil sie den Bruch mit Gewohnheiten und dem bisherigen Leben impliziert. Es werden in den zwei Gemeinschaften unterschiedliche Techniken und normative Identitäten vermittelt, die zeigen, wie mit dieser Diskontinuität umzugehen und wie überhaupt in einer modernen, säkularen Welt zu leben ist. Der Autor leistet so einen Beitrag zur soziologischen Konversionsforschung.
