Material Culture I

Alison Jane Clarke
Design, Theory and History of Design
2016W, Seminar (SE), 2.0 semester hours, course number S20348

Description

mit Sen.Lect. Leah Armstrong, MA PhD

This seminar course explores the meaning and value of materials in contemporary design culture, informed by new works in anthropology and design history and theory. As design moves increasingly toward the immaterial and the digital, the course responds to recent critical thinkers and makers who argue that the material has become more, not less, important. The course literature engages with these thinkers and makers to consider the implications of the politics, properties and ecologies that shape the material today.
