Hi Francois,
Yes you are right. I should have been a little more specific. My research
is mainly about two contexts; the US and Turkey. And by design
disciplines/professions I mean the following : *architecture, city/urban,
community and regional planning, environmental design, landscape
architecture, interior design/architecture,commercial and advertising art,
industrial design, fashion/apparel design, graphic design, illustration
design*(i know its weird but it is how they name it)*, game and interactive
design, theatre design*. This list is by no means exhaustive, and it comes
from two sources.The US National Center for Education Statistics (NCES)
disciplinary classification schemes and the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Even, architecture, being the most "established" one of these
disciplines/professions is highly heteronomous both in the US and in
Turkey. From the empirical accounts of different scholars (for example see:
M. Sarfatti Larson's *Behind the Postmodern Facade *for architecture and
Harvey's Molotch's *Where Stuff Comes From? *for industrial design*) *and
from my own research, I know that most of these fields are highly
heteronomous in the aforementioned contexts.
I hope this clarifies my initial question a little bit more. I would be
curious to learn more about other cultures/contexts.
Warm Regards,
.ali
