Design For More-Than-Human Futures
This book explores the work of important authors in the search for a transition towards more ethical design focused on more-than-human coexistence. In a time of environmental crises in which the human species threatens its own survival and the highest level of exacerbation of the idea of a future and technological innovation, it is important to discard certain anthropocentric categories in order to situate design beyond the role that it traditionally held in the capitalist world, creating opportunities to create more just and sustainable worlds. This book is an invitation to travel new paths for design framed by ethics of more-than-human coexistence that breaks with the unsustainability inst...
Republics of Knowledge
"Republics of Knowledge tells the story of how the circulation of knowledge shaped the formation of nation-states in Latin America, and particularly in Argentina, Peru and Chile, during the century after Iberian rule was defeated in the 1820s. Most immediately, the author has sought to provide a cross-disciplinary approach to the history of knowledge, combining the methods of global intellectual history with a new way of thinking about nations as experienced and enacted as well as how they are imagined, and in so doing offer a new interpretation of the history of independent Latin America to illustrate its wider significance in the making of the modern world. By bringing these lines of inqui...
Resonancias Tectónicas
Resonancias Tectónicas: Del diseño centrado en el usuario a un diseño orientado en el planeta El pabellón de Chile que nos representó en la Bienal Londres es un nuevo diseño, que reflexiona sobre cómo tratar a los materiales, indagando la fronteras de lo imaginable, las transformaciones que el planeta y la convivencia nos demandan. Que valora trabajar desde la austeridad. En la belleza y la plenitud de su mensaje, estas resonancias tectónicas nos permiten volver a interactuar y reconectarnos con la Tierra. TECTONIC RESONANCES: From users-centered design to planet-oriented design The Chilean pavilion that represented us at the London Biennale 2021 is a new design that reflects on how to treat materials, exploring the boundaries of the imaginable, the transformations that the planet and coexistence demand us. It values working from austerity. In the beauty and fullness of its message, these tectonic resonances allow us to interact and reconnect with the Earth.
Design(s) for Law
Legal design has been with us for over a decade. Its core idea, i.e. to use design methods to make the world of law accessible to all, has been widely embraced by academics, researchers, and professionals. Over time, the field has grown, expanding its initial problem-solving approach to other dimensions of design, such as speculative design, design fiction, proactive law, and disciplines like cognitive science and philosophy. The book presents a state-of-the-art reflection on legal design evolution and applications. It features twelve insightful contributions discussed during the 2023 'Legal Design Roundtable' on 'Design(s) for Law', organised within the Erasmus+ Jean Monnet clinic on 'EU Digital Rights, Law, and Design'. These perspectives from academics and professionals add important nuances to the literature, either presenting new approaches, applying consolidated practices to new contexts and areas, or showcasing actual and potential applications. Ideal for academics, legal professionals, and students, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in new critical approaches to the law and in the creative construction of fairer and more human-friendly legal systems.
Designforschung und Designwissenschaft
Von Gestaltung jenseits ästhetischer Traditionslinien zu sprechen, heißt zwangsläufig das moderne Design in den Blick zu nehmen. Zwischen Alltagskultur und Design-Avantgarden bewegen sich vielfältige interdisziplinäre Strömungen, deren theoretische Modelle in Kontextualisierungen und Analysen der Designwissenschaft zusammenlaufen. Hier zeigt sich bereits eine geisteswissenschaftliche Durchdringung und Akzeptanz des Designs als epidemisches Gegenstück zur freien Kunst, wobei diese Meta-Perspektive letztlich eine Forschung „über Design“ darstellt. Design als konkrete Praxis begriffen artikuliert sich jedoch als Relation von Problem, Entwurf und Prototyp, so dass ein handlungstheore...
Lenguajes y materialidades: trayectorias cruzadas
Este volumen busca introducir una serie de reflexiones y problemas referidos a las trayectorias e intersecciones entre lenguajes y materialidades. Las diversas narrativas que componen los textos aquí́ agrupados constituyen la evidencia de que las agotadas categorías del pensamiento moderno se han tornado insuficientes para dar cuenta de la complejidad de los fenómenos que aquejan la vida contemporánea.

Experimenting with Ethnography
Experimenting with Ethnography collects twenty-one essays that open new paths for doing ethnographic analysis. The contributors—who come from a variety of intellectual and methodological traditions—enliven analysis by refusing to take it as an abstract, disembodied exercise. Rather, they frame it as a concrete mode of action and a creative practice. Encompassing topics ranging from language and the body to technology and modes of collaboration, the essays invite readers to focus on the imaginative work that needs to be performed prior to completing an argument. Whether exchanging objects, showing how to use drawn images as a way to analyze data, or working with smartphones, sound recordi...
Indigenous Experience Today
A century ago, the idea of indigenous people as an active force in the contemporary world was unthinkable. It was assumed that native societies everywhere would be swept away by the forward march of the West and its own peculiar brand of progress and civilization. Nothing could be further from the truth. Indigenous social movements wield new power, and groups as diverse as Australian Aborigines, Ecuadorian Quichuas, and New Zealand Maoris, have found their own distinctive and assertive ways of living in the present world. Indigenous Experience Today draws together essays by prominent scholars in anthropology and other fields examining the varied face of indigenous politics in Bolivia, Botswana, Canada, Chile, China, Indonesia, and the United States, amongst others. The book challenges accepted notions of indigeneity as it examines the transnational dynamics of contemporary native culture and politics around the world.
