Within design, there is a growing discussion of the grand societal challenges and design's role in addressing them. Escobar, an anthropologist with a long-standing interest in design, provides an important contribution to that discussion. In his own words, one of the key issues addressed in this book is whether design can be "extricated from its embeddedness in modernist unsustainable and defuturing practices" and become part of a toolkit for societal transition. In my opinion, a great strength of the book is the broad foundation in contemporary social science, critical theory and philosophy that places design in a larger sociopolitical context. Another strength is the introduction to activist and transition approaches from the Global South, specifically Latin America, and the discussion of how they relate to discourses more familiar to the Global North. For a reader willing to devote some time to thinking and reflection, Escobar's book might stimulate some rather profound questions on who you want to be as a designer, what you need to do, and how to do it. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
In Designs for the Pluriverse Arturo Escobar presents a new vision of design theory and practice aimed at channeling design's world-making capacity toward ways of being and doing that are deeply attuned to justice and the Earth. Noting that most design--from consumer goods and digital technologies to built environments--currently serves capitalist ends, Escobar argues for the development of an "autonomous design" that eschews commercial and modernizing aims in favor of more collaborative and placed-based approaches. Such design attends to questions of environment, experience, and politics while focusing on the production of human experience based on the radical interdependence of all beings. Mapping autonomous design's principles to the history of decolonial efforts of indigenous and Afro-descended people in Latin America, Escobar shows how refiguring current design practices could lead to the creation of more just and sustainable social orders.
