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)
