Sommario/riassunto

Design has long expressed and established itself as an independent research competence - a fact that also companies, institutions and



politicians have come to acknowledge. What is still needed, however, is a stronger public platform for design to confidently reflect upon this process and to establish and communicate the specific innovative and experimental dimension of design research. For this reason, BIRD, the Board of International Research in Design, has developed the New Experimental Research in Design / NERD format. The edited conference contributions of twelve young researchers from all over the world provide an impressive and diverse and insightful range of intelligent and inspiring approaches in design research, giving rise to further debate and action in the rapidly evolving field.

Design hat sich lange als unabhängige Forschungskompetenz artikuliert und etabliert - eine Tatsache, die Unternehmen, Institutionen und Politiker inzwischen durchaus anerkennen. Was es noch braucht, ist eine starke öffentliche Plattform, um diesen Prozess selbstbewusst zu reflektieren und so die spezifisch innovative und experimentelle Dimension von Design-Forschung zu etablieren und kommunizieren. BIRD, das Board of International Research in Design, hat deshalb das NERD-Format entwickelt: Die hier veröffentlichten Konferenz-Beiträge von zwölf jungen Forschern aus allen Teilen der Welt geben Einblick in ein beeindruckendes und vielfältiges Spektrum von intelligenten und inspirierenden Ansätzen. Sie rufen auf zu einer Fortsetzung der Debatte in einem sich rasch entwickelnden Forschungsfeld.

Résumé--Introduction--L'Europe et l'Histoire pour tout horizon ?--Les religions à l'ombre des nations ... Les mythes ?--Conclusion : L'Union Européenne et les menaces identitaires.

Sommario/riassunto

Dans cet article, l'auteur montre d'un point de vue sociologique pourquoi l'Union européenne est si difficile à réaliser. Face à un manque de mythe fondateur acceptable par tous les citoyens européens, les seules idéologies performatives en lieu et place sont celle du capitalisme et du marché d'un côté et les nationalismes et les religions de l'autre. Nous savons que les religions et les nations sont issues de mythes puissants qui fondent au jour le jour leurs identités et les conduites des hommes qui les composent tandis que l'UE est née de l'Histoire, la fatalité, mais qui ne constitue en aucun cas un destin pour le présent et le futur. Comment peut-on observer et décrire cette relation entre l'UE et les diverses religions qui la composent?

In this article, the author shows from a sociological point of view why European Union (EU) is so difficult to achieve. Facing the lack of a fondator myth acceptable to all European citizen, the only ideologies acting instead are those of market and capitalism on one hand and nationalism and religions on the other. Knowing that religions and nations are born from powerful Myths giving identities and guidelines in the day to day living to belongers and EU is born from History that gives a fate to all of us but not a destiny for the present and the future. Can we observe this actual relation and role between UE and its various religions ? Key words: European Union, Religion, Nations, Nationalism, Histoire, myths, Sociology.

Sommario/riassunto

Prepare yourselves for the coming Cyber Revolution! Over time, humankind has transformed from hunter-gatherer to farmer, from farmer to industrial worker, and from industrial worker to service provider. Now, we are on the cusp of a fourth transformative wave, spurred by climate change, exponential population growth, and our ever-increasing reliance on technology. This Copernicus book follows the stream of changes we will likely experience over the next few decades. These will involve the design and planning of smart cities and vital new mega-cities, as well as the use of sophisticated artificial intelligence and knowledge systems in our professional and everyday lives. The book shows how the nature of work, economics, taxation, social intercourse, and a slew of other global human endeavors will almost certainly undergo fundamental shifts during this time. Despite the many crises the world is gearing up to face, this book is not all doom and gloom – it is a call to action, a guide to how we might harness novel technologies in space and cyberspace to address our most urgent needs.
