Design and the Question of History is not a work of Design History.
Rather, it is a mixture of mediation, advocacy and polemic that
takes seriously the directive force of design as an historical
actor in and upon the world. Understanding design as a shaper of
worlds within which the political, ethical and historical character
of human being is at stake, this text demands radically transformed
notions of both design and history. Above all, the authors posit
history as the generational site of the future. Blindness to
history, it is suggested, blinds us both to possibility, and to the
foreclosure of possibilities, enacted through our designing. The
text is not a resolved, continuous work, presented through one
voice. Rather, the three authors cut across each other, presenting
readers with the task of disclosing, to themselves, the
commonalities, repetitions and differences within the deployed
arguments, issues, approaches and styles from which the text is
constituted. This is a work of friendship, of solidarity in
difference, an act of cultural politics. It invites the reader to
take a position - it seeks engagement over agreement.
