Call for Papers For a collective-oriented, non-corporate
account of design practices.
This fifth issue of Ardeth aims to collect contributions
that explore the roles non-humans and ecosystems play in processes of
innovation; the participation of the contingent, the environmental, the
accidental, and the non-intentional in the emergence of design and invention as
socially reconstructing practices; and contributions that help enunciate the
way a collective notion of innovation can better explain the way innovative
processes are and can be emancipated from corporative hegemonies—how they can
be mobilized as embodiments of progressive and inclusive politics, mutual care,
engagement, and activism.
This call for papers addresses scholars and practitioners
dealing with the invention and evolution of the social, that through essays on
theoretical argumentation, case studies, and field work attempt to answer the
following questions:
1. What embodiments of politics—can be mobilized or
enacted with/by/through innovation processes?
2. In what way contemporary notions of innovation
become spaces where corporate design and social action can be responded to?
3. What is the process by which design and invention
emerge as collective realities, exceeding the main stream narratives of
individual human entrepreneurism?
4. By means of what modes of reconstruction or
affection are societies and environments transformed by/through/in design?
5. What is the material dimension of the processes by
which techno-societies engage with change?
6. What notions of concern, engagement, activism, care,
or improvement?
7. What is the way innovation processes gain
accountability?
Deadline: 30 January 2019 | More information at the Ardeth
website.
