Since the 1990s, in response to dramatic transformations in the
worlds of technology and the economy, design - a once relatively
definable discipline, complete with a set of sub-disciplines - has
become unrecognizable. Consequently, design scholars have begun to
address new issues, themes and sub-disciplines such as: sustainable
design, design for well-being, empathic design, design activism,
design anthropology, and many more. The Routledge Companion to
Design Studies charts this new expanded spectrum and embraces the
wide range of scholarship relating to design - theoretical,
practice-related and historical - that has emerged over the last
four decades. Comprised of forty-three newly-commissioned essays,
the Companion is organized into the following six sections:
Defining Design: Discipline, Process Defining Design: Objects,
Spaces Designing Identities: Gender, Sexuality, Age, Nation
Designing Society: Empathy, Responsibility, Consumption, the
Everyday Design and Politics: Activism, Intervention, Regulation
Designing the World: Globalization, Transnationalism, Translation
Contributors include both established and emerging scholars and the
essays offer an international scope, covering work emanating from,
and relating to, design in the United Kingdom, mainland Europe,
North America, Asia, Australasia and Africa. This comprehensive
collection makes an original and significant contribution to the
field of Design Studies.
