Özet:
Design is everywhere! Historically, the term design has gained currency and legitimacy in almost all disciplines, including engineering, architecture, industry, agriculture, economics, and politics. It has gained further popularity in the new millennium with the emergence of digital information and communication technologies and platforms such as social media. Due to its positive resonance, the term has been overcharged and manipulated in unprecedented ways, particularly by populist discourses and consumerist policies and practices.
Today, design is conveniently consumed by political, economic, and social mechanisms. This situation presents us with the emergence of popular phrases as diverse as parametric design, design thinking, feng shui design, wellness design, hair design, and design city. On the one hand, such appropriations further complicate conventional disciplinary boundaries and elitist definitions of design. On the other hand, in this somewhat suspect and complicated context, where everything can be produced, consumed, and marketed under design as a catchphrase, we believe it is time to revisit a fundamental question: But what do we mean by design? Instead of taking the various meanings of design for granted, we would like to critically explore what design has come to mean in history, theory, and practice in the face of populist and consumerist agendas. Questions proliferate:
Papers are invited to problematize the meaning of design and to address these questions in contexts including, but not limited to, activism, politics, economy, everyday life, disasters, education, management, health and medicine, digital technologies, user-experience, production and consumption networks, marketing, and media. Papers grounded in specific theoretical positions are strongly encouraged.
