2025S, Proseminar (PS), 3.0 ECTS, 2.0 semester hours, course number S04786
Description
Graphics, artefacts, interiors, fashion and digital design define and influence every aspect of our lives. The Design Cultures proseminar offers critical perspectives on the construction of design as a cultural language, as a mediator of social relations, and as a shaper of our local community and the wider global environment. In this course we will examine and discuss the role of design in various relationships to identity/identification in different cultures, and the relevance of 'cultural difference', consumption, constructed inequality, striving for integration, migration, nationalism, ecology and social media to our designed world(s). The aim of this proseminar is to understand design as part of cultural production, to engage with theories of the relationship between design and culture, and to discuss the relevance of design to contemporary society.
