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...
Humanos a la obra en la emergencia
Este libro pretende ser fuente de inspiración para diseñadores independientes, academias de diseño, fundaciones y oficinas de gobierno que buscan nuevas pautas para impactar a nivel social, en particular durante una emergencia en una crisis repentina y también en el comienzo de una iniciativa innovadora. Está dividido en cuatro partes: la primera es una postura que permite asumir el desarrollo de ejercicios de diseño para impactar a nivel comunal; la segunda es una taxonomía de proyectos desarrollados en el Laboratorio Experimental de Diseño para la Innovación Social del Caribe DISCA Lab; la tercera ejemplifica proyectos realizados desde la academia, que estimulan la búsqueda de soluciones en el ámbito de la emergencia, y, finalmente, la cuarta presenta reflexiones sobre la posición académica de quienes han influenciado este proceso en la Universidad del Norte.

Humanos a la obra en otros lugares
Este libro, más allá de un compendio de proyectos académicos, pretende ser fuente de inspiración para diseñadores independientes, academias de diseño, fundaciones y oficinas de gobierno que buscan nuevas pautas para impactar a nivel social, en particular durante una emergencia en una crisis repentina y también en el comienzo de una iniciativa innovadora.
Discovering Design
Discovering Design reflects the growing recognition that the design of the everyday world deserves attention not only as a professional practice but as a subject of social, cultural, and philosophic investigation. Victor Margolin, cofounder and an editor of the journal Design Issues, and Richard Buchanan, also an editor of the journal, bring together eleven essays by scholars in fields ranging from psychology, sociology, and political theory to technology studies, rhetoric, and philosophy. The essayists share the editors' concern, first made clear in Margolin's Design Discourse: History, Theory, Criticism, with the the development of design studies as a field of interdisciplinary research. T...
The Systems Model of Creativity
This first volume of the Collected Works of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi represents his work on Art and Creativity. Starting with his seminal 1964 study on creativity up to his 2010 publication in Newsweek, the volume spans over four decades of research and writing and clearly shows Csikszentmihalyi’s own development as an academic, psychologist, researcher and person. Unconventional and unorthodox in his approach, Csikszentmihalyi chose the topic of creativity as a field of study believing it would help him be a better psychologist and advance his understanding of how to live a better life. The chapters in this volume trace the history of the study of creativity back to the days of Guilford an...
Media Transformation
This is a methodical study of the material and mental limits and possibilities of transferring information and media traits among dissimilar media. Elleström proposes a model for pinpointing the most vital conceptual entities and stages in intermedial transfers involving different media types such as speech, writing, music, films, and websites.
Atlas of Knowledge
The power of mapping: principles for visualizing knowledge, illustrated by many stunning large-scale, full-color maps. Maps of physical spaces locate us in the world and help us navigate unfamiliar routes. Maps of topical spaces help us visualize the extent and structure of our collective knowledge; they reveal bursts of activity, pathways of ideas, and borders that beg to be crossed. This book, from the author of Atlas of Science, describes the power of topical maps, providing readers with principles for visualizing knowledge and offering as examples forty large-scale and more than 100 small-scale full-color maps. Today, data literacy is becoming as important as language literacy. Well-desi...
Animated 'Worlds'
What do we mean by the term "animation" when we are discussing film? Is it a technique? A style? A way of seeing or experiencing "a world" that has little relation to our own lived experience of "the world"? In Animated Worlds, contributors reveal the astonishing variety of "worlds" animation confronts us with. Essays range from close film analyses to phenomenological and cognitive approaches, spectatorship, performance, literary theory, and digital aesthetics. Authors include Vivian Sobchack, Richard Weihe, Thomas Lamarre, Paul Wells, and Karin Wehn.
