The Radical Designist, UNIDCOM’s Journal on Theory and History of Material Culture is calling for papers for a special issue related with the research project: "Design in Portugal (1960-1974): the actions, actors and repercussions of the Art, Industrial Architecture and Industrial Design Nuclei of the National Institute of Industrial Research (I.N.I.I.)"[“Design em Portugal (1960-1974): acções, intervenientes e repercussões do Núcleo de Arte e Arquitectura Industrial e do Núcleo de Design Industrial do Instituto Nacional de Investigação Industrial (I.N.I.I)]

During Cold Warin peripheral countries and regions, like the Iberian 
peninsula, Eastern Europe or Latin America, Design was, not only a 
discipline related with industrial development and modernization, but 
also, due to its DNA, social insertion and ethics, an instrument of 
resistance to dictatorships.

The purpose of this special issue is to contribute to a panoramic view 
over the impact of design policies in the internationalization of 
economies and social professional change during the /Cold War, but 
/especially how design contributed to the values of democracy both 
political and social in this period, mainly in the 1960 ‘s and 1970’s. 
This call proposes also to cover processes in which “democracies” were 
subjected to authoritarian dictates over minorities either social or 
political.

In the case of Portugal, the country was one of the founders of EFTA 
(European Free Trade Association) in 1960, a first sign of the New 
State's dictatorship concern with exportation and foreign markets. 
However, another sign of the Cold War, the Portuguese colonial conflict, 
and a counter insurgence notion of social development contributed to 
create a market in Africa.In consequence, the Portuguese economy 
witnessed an enhancement of its industrial sector. By developing these 
activities, some enlightened industrials and designers believed that a 
metadesign approach in the Portuguese industry could contribute to the 
transformation of the regime and conduce to the achievement of 
democratic governance.

In consequence, the late 1960’s early 1970’s witnessed the emergence of 
a new professional starting to be designated as “designer”. The transfer 
of methodological knowledge from “Democracies” to “Dictatorships”, 
determined by the need of modernization, carried out also an ideological 
democratic insemination that helped to corrode the Regime’s structural 
foundations.
