Design History Beyond the Canon subverts hierarchies of taste which
have dominated traditional narratives of design history. This book
explores a diverse selection of objects, spaces and media, ranging
from high design to mass-produced and mass-marketed objects, as
well as counter-cultural and sub-cultural material. The authors'
research highlights the often marginalized role of gender and
racial identity in the production and consumption of design, the
politics which underpins design practice and the role of designed
objects as pathways of nostalgia and cultural memory. While focused
primarily on North American examples from the early 20th century
onwards, this collection also features essays examining European
and Soviet design history, as well as the influence of Asia and
Africa on Western design practice. This book is organised in three
thematic sections: 'Consumers', 'Intermediaries' and 'Designers'.
The first section analyses a range of designed objects and spaces
through the experiences and perspectives of users. The second
section considers intermediaries from both technology and cultural
industries, as well as the hidden labour within the design process
itself. The final section focuses on designers from multiple design
disciplines including high fashion, industrial design, interior
design, graphic design and design history pedagogy. The essays
utilize different research methods and a wide range of theoretical
approaches, including feminist theory, critical race theory,
spatial theory, material culture studies, science and technology
studies and art history. This book brings together the most recent
research which stretches beyond the traditional canon and looks to
interdisciplinary methodologies to better understand the practice
and consumption of design.
