Transformation. Design Research Now - Essays and Selected Projects vermisst das Feld der Designforschung anhand grundlegender Essays und ausgewählter Forschungsprojekte. Die Autoren der Essays, allesamt international führende Designwissenschaftler, nehmen zu den wichtigsten Fragen der Designforschung Stellung. Sie verorten die Bedeutung der Designforschung an der Schnittstelle zur Technologieentwicklung, beschreiben ihre Notwendigkeit für die methodische Weiterentwicklung der Entwurfsdisziplinen und ordnen ihr für die relevanten Entwicklungen der Gesellschaft eine bedeutende Rolle zu. Ergänzt werden die Essays durch die Darstellung aktueller, abgeschlossener Forschungsprojekte aus Hochschulen in den Niederlanden, Großbritannien und Italien. |
Design is becoming a recognised academic discipline, and design research is the driving force behind this transformation. Design Research Now - Essays and Selected Projects charts the field of design research with introductory essays and selected research projects. The authors of the essays, all leading international design scholars, stake out positions on the most important issues of design research. They locate the significance of design research at the interface with technological development, describe what makes it a necessary ingredient of the continued development of the design disciplines, and assign it a seminal role in the relevant developments of society. The essays are supplemented by the presentation of recently completed research projects from universities in the Netherlands, the UK and Italy. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This edited collection investigates the linguistics of globalisation, geopolitics and gender in workplace cultures in a range of different contemporary international settings. The chapters examine how issues of globalisation, gender and geopolitics affect professionals in different workplace contexts, including domestic workers; IT professionals; teachers, university staff; engineers; entrepreneurs; CEOs of different corporates including locally based businesses as well as multinationals; farmers; co-operative leaders; NGO leaders; bloggers; healthcare assistants and caregivers. Taking different sociolinguistic approaches to exploring language and the geopolitics of gender at work in Dubai, Kuwait, Kenya, Uganda, Morocco, Nigeria, Malaysia, Turkey, Belgium, Switzerland, New Zealand, Uganda, the UK and the USA, each chapter focuses on a range of salient geopolitical issues which often have global applicability, but which may also be subject to more localised socio-cultural variation. The chapters critically discuss issues of gendered language, perceptions and representations of workplace cultures, discrimination, the role of gendered stereotyping and deeply ingrained socio-cultural myths about gender and the importance of examining the intersections of identity - all of which continue to persist as barriers to equality and inclusion in workplaces worldwide. Despite the variation and diversity in professions and geopolitical contexts captured across the chapters, remarkably similar issues of gender discrimination and persisting inequalities are identified and critically discussed, thus pointing to the global nature of these issues". |
