Conference themes:
* The influence of dominating trends connecting to local cultures
and communities: problems of center, periphery and province. Have
peripheries been able to innovate and have provinces just been
submissive regarding centers?
* Connecting interventions and policies of public and private
nature to the local infrastructures of design and craft - have these
actions produced change, positive or negative?
* The professionalisation in design and craft - connecting this to
the multitude of different national, economical and cultural settings
with varying velocities of development
* The historiography of design: how has it been and is connected
to local traditions of philosophy, scholarship and educational
structures
* How have we been seen and received - and what have we given to
the rest of the world? - This theme explores the reception of
Nordic/Scandinavian design, its possible influence in other cultural
spheres, both the everyday and strategic uses of the outcomes of the
phenomena emanating from this region. At the same time we want to have
Nordic speakers to present how they see the contribution of their own
contexts, the strategies of exporting both goods and know-how and the
connecting role of concerted efforts in producing this evolved
