ICDHS 2012 / Design Frontiers: territories, concepts, technologies
History marks territories that in some way or another are reflected in
design. Since the first ICDHS conference, held in Barcelona in 1999,
significant steps were taken to draw attention to the nature of design
studies, practice and history in a wider world context. Parallel to that,
the configuration of design landscapes has been significantly altered by
education, technology and national state policies intended to promote local
industries and sites by means of design.
The 8th ICDHS conference, 'Design Frontiers: territories, concepts,
technologies', aims to discuss how design history and design studies may
push the limits of design knowledge. The frontiers of design may be
challenged by the exploration of new territories, by the establishment of
new concepts, by the emergence of new technologies, as well as by
rediscovering the past and by finding new ways of applying current wisdom.
CONFERENCE TRACKS
TRACK 1 | History of Design Education
This track welcomes historical studies of design education, particularly
comparative studies of design education in different countries, cultures,
periods, in its relationship with art and technology education.
Track Chairs: Haruhiko Fujita (Osaka University, Japan) & Silvio Barreto
Campello (Federal University of Pernambuco, Brazil)
TRACK 2 | Identities and Territories
In this track we expect participants to contribute with discussions on
topics such as micro history, collective identities, gender,
internationalization, marginalization, globalization, and other studies
that focus on design from the perspective of identity and territorial
issues.
Track Chairs: Oscar Salinas Flores (National University of Mexico, Mexico)
& Clice Mazzilli (University of São Paulo, Brazil)
TRACK 3 | National Policies on Design
This track invites submissions that study totally or partially state-funded
plans and institutions for the promotion of design. Plans and institutions
must be studied as signifying practices in both their economic and their
cultural dimensions.
Track Chairs: Javier Gimeno-Martínez (VU University Amsterdam, Netherlands
& Artesis University College of Antwerp, Belgium) & Cyntia Malaguti
(University of São Paulo, Brazil)
TRACK 4 | Techniques and Technologies
Papers submitted to this track may be concerned with various methodologies
and different models of process and practice (for example user centered
design, codesign or open design); new territories of practice emerging from
cross disciplinary or interdisciplinary collaborations; or histories of
technique and practice. Papers may also develop discourse around emerging
and enabling technologies that have impacted or will impact on the
production, reception and consumption of design; or describe different
histories of technologies.
Track Chairs: Paul Atkinson (Sheffield Hallam University, UK) & Charles
Vincent (Mackenzie Presbyterian University, Brazil)
TRACK 5 | The New Imperialism: the international face of design and design
history
Papers submitted to this track should draw attention to the nature of
design practice and history in the wider world, beyond the orthodox mapping
of activity in the mainstream industrialized nations of the west, therefore
helping to redraw the world map of design activity, history and politics in
the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
Track Chairs: Jonathan Woodham (University of Brighton, UK) & Denise Dantas
(University of São Paulo, Brazil)
TRACK 6 | Open Strand
This track welcomes papers that relate to the general topic of the
Conference, but that do not fit the other tracks.
Track Chairs: Victor Margolin (University of Illinois at Chicago, US) &
Priscila Farias (University of São Paulo, Brazil)
