This book makes a significant contribution to advancing
post-geographic understandings of physical and virtual boundaries.
It brings together the emergent theory of 'border thinking' with
innovative thinking on design, and explores the recent discourse on
decoloniality and globalism. From a variety of viewpoints, the
topics engaged show how design was historically embedded in the
structures of colonial imposition, and how it is implicated in more
contemporary settings in the extension of 'epistemological
colonialism'. The essays draw on perspectives from diverse
geo-cultural and theoretical positions including architecture,
design theory and history, sociology, critical theory and cultural
studies. The authors are leading and emergent figures in their
fields of study and practice, and the geographic scope of the
chapters ranges across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, South
America, Asia, and the Pacific. In recognition of the complexity of
challenges that are now determining the future security of
humanity, Design in the Borderlands aims to contribute to 'thinking
futures' by adding to the increasingly significant debate between
design, in the context of the history of Western modernity, and
decolonial thought.
