| Lernziele / Kompetenzen | The seminar departs from a few key texts in design history and historiography to provide bachelor students with the necessary critical tools to problematize the canon of design history—a body of knowledge they are likely just encountering for the first time. Furthermore, it engages with key decolonial and critical fabulation approaches that open up new writing and storytelling modes that can help us blur disciplinary boundaries and think design an its history anew. |
| Inhalte | Design history as a field of inquiry has been historically dominated by modernist, Western, hetero-patriarchal, racist and classist biases, producing numerous gaps and countless silences. However, at least since the early 1980s, design historians and interdisciplinary scholars have problematized the field, calling for rethinking its boundaries and methods. Furthermore, critical theorists and decolonial scholars have proposed distinct ways to make productive sense of these gaps and silences in the archive and the telling of history. In this seminar, we will explore some of these debates, critiques, and approaches. We will also conduct a hands-on survey of the design section of the library of the ZHdK, looking for dominant tropes and unexpected counter-narratives, attempting to make some absences and biases visible. Departing from our findings, we will explore alternative modes of storytelling by sketching a short article/essay proposal. |
