*Making Trans/national Contemporary Design History*
*ICDHS 2016 Taipei* | The 10th International Conference on Design History
and Design Studies (ICDHS), Taipei, Taiwan, 26-28 October, 2016, hosted by
the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology.
*Abstract due: extended to 20 August, 2015*
We are seeking proposals for the following eight strands that will cover a
wide range of themes including local level issues specific to East Asia and
inter-Asian connections. Furthermore, topics that have been developed
through previous ICDHS conferences (http://www.ub.edu/gracmon/icdhs/), and
the undiscovered, newly emerging ideas in the field of design history and
design studies will also be considered for inclusion. The overarching aim
of this conference is to explore different possibilities of engagement that
advance ‘global’, ‘world’ and ‘transnational’ design histories and
studies. The eight strands are:
1. Inter-Asia and design historical issues in Asia
2. Trans/national design theory and identity
3. Science, technology and sustainability
4. Craft, material culture and cultural industry
5. Design policies, pedagogies and creative economy
6. Contemporary design practice
7. Activism, democracy and design interventions
8. Open strand
