Dear all,
I’m looking for dissertations and other research outputs with an explicit non-anthropocentric/human-decentering ambition. Being based in Scandinavia I have recently read
Jönsson, L. (2014). Design events: On explorations of a non-anthropocentric framework in design. The Royal DanishAcademy of Fine Arts, School of Design.
and
Avila, M. (2012). Devices. On Hospitality, Hostility and Design. HDK - School of Design and Crafts Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts, University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
Jönsson uses an ANT-approach while Ávila puts linguistic and biological concepts to work to challenge anthropocentrism in design. I’m especially interested in design research that overlaps with Critical Animal Studies/animal liberation activism but I’m open to all tips and suggestions!
I’m familiar with the work of Anne Galloway and the overviews by Laura Forlano (design and posthumanism) and Wolch & Owens (animals in architecture and design).
Thanks and all the best from rainy Malmö,
Erik
PS. I recently published a storybook, Designer and Goldcrest, intended as an accessible introduction to some more-than-human perspectives on design. It’s freely available here: https://www.sorgenfripress.se.
