CALL FOR PAPERS
Design and Culture is a new interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal
published by Berg. Edited by Elizabeth Guffey (State University of New
York, Purchase, United States) and associate editors Guy Julier (Leeds
Metropolitan University, Leeds, England), Pekka Korvenmaa, (University of
Art and Design, Helsinki, Finland), and Matt Soar (Concordia University,
Montreal, Canada), it is the official journal of the Design Studies Forum.
Design and Culture will publish three issues annually beginning in the
spring of 2009.
Design and Culture explores the dynamic, contingent relationships between
design and its many cultural contexts. Encompassing the numerous
professional, quasi-professional, and amateur fields of design, the journal
identifies and explores cultures of design and designs of culture,
investigating the tensions often encountered between critical, analytical,
and intellectual activity and traditional studio-based endeavors. The
journal aims to broaden the discourse of design by examining its relation
to other academic disciplines, including anthropology, cultural studies,
economics, geography, marketing, management, material culture, politics,
and visual culture. It also seeks congruence between traditional divisions
within design practice, such as graphic, product, industrial, and
environmental design. In so doing, the journal's editorial board proposes
to strengthen, clarify, and promote the study of design cultures, including
history, criticism, and design practice, in the contemporary academy.
Design and Culture invites interpretive critiques, review essays,
interviews, book reviews, case studies, and field reports that address
designed objects, systems, and practices and their contexts, texts, and
reception.
