In Designs for the Pluriverse Arturo Escobar presents a new vision
of design theory and practice aimed at channeling design's
world-making capacity toward ways of being and doing that are
deeply attuned to justice and the Earth. Noting that most
design-from consumer goods and digital technologies to built
environments-currently serves capitalist ends, Escobar argues for
the development of an "autonomous design" that eschews commercial
and modernizing aims in favor of more collaborative and
placed-based approaches. Such design attends to questions of
environment, experience, and politics while focusing on the
production of human experience based on the radical interdependence
of all beings. Mapping autonomous design's principles to the
history of decolonial efforts of indigenous and Afro-descended
people in Latin America, Escobar shows how refiguring current
design practices could lead to the creation of more just and
sustainable social orders.
