In response, Valeria Graziano, Marcell Mars, and Tomislav Medak have convened an international line-up of contributors to assemble the Pirate Care Project. The editors describe Pirate Care as a fundamentally anti-neoliberal concept of community-based “care” initiatives that operate without regard for legality or capitalist power structures; hence, the “pirate” modifier. A fisherman who rescues refugees in the Mediterranean despite the knowledge that they could be fined or arrested once returning to shore has engaged in an act of Pirate Care. Thus, the Pirate Care Project exists in separate, time-limited exhibitions, public talks, a conference that was held at the Center for Postdigital Cultures at Coventry University in 2019, and the Pirate Care Syllabus, which is a website containing resources and exercises structured as an academic syllabus.

Think, for example, of the clumsy smell-o-vision attempts in 1950s movie theaters, or the overbearing fragrance of scented candles. The phenomenon of “nose-blindness,” whereby we become desensitized to a scent within minutes of experiencing it, means that common scent delivery often seems heavy handed, or is partner to a separate primary experience, as is the case when eating food. But Living with Scents, a oneroom exhibition curated by Elisabetta Pisu and Clara Muller, offered an alternative vision of fragrance.

Several domains of design, including product design and service design, are interpreted as cultural activities. Through mixed methods of research for, through, and about design, this paper proposes design for the speculative future as speculative cultural intermediary. Three design projects are included to support the findings and describe the four stages: decoding culture, speculating meanings, encoding meanings, and design as speculative culture. This paper will contribute to developing a cultural design methodology covering these four stages.","PeriodicalId":44307,"journal":{"name":"Design and Culture","volume":"15 1","pages":"89 - 111"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46807207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a Foucauldian lens, this paper presents findings from semi-structured interviews with iPhone® users that speak to the ways Apple consumers are constituted into Apple subjects by what I refer to as “the Apple Way.” The ineradicable relationship between discourses of design and consumerism and their imperative to “better” human life is presented as a starting point. The iPhone as a technological device that “makes life better” for Apple consumers is critiqued; data reveals an uneasy reliance people have on the iPhone for their everyday life.","PeriodicalId":44307,"journal":{"name":"Design and Culture","volume":"15 1","pages":"49 - 67"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45923082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Community and street gardens, bush regeneration working bees, botanical and bird-watching expeditions in city parks and green areas are examples of this renewed interest in urban ecologies. What role can we, as design researchers, play in connecting city people to the ecologies they encounter in their everyday lives? This paper discusses a project in an urban precinct in Sydney. We made three campaigning artefacts: a library installation, seed balls made with kangaroo grass (Themeda triandra), and a map tracing a planty route around our urban university campus. Design experiences like workshops and walkshops mobilized these campaigning artefacts. This paper focuses on the seed balls to offer an example of how plants can decenter humans in the design process. We consider plants as possible allies in design activism and advance the idea of “planty design activism.” Global climate breakdown presented the plants and us with the challenge of Australia’s hottest year on record. The findings, drawn out through ethnographies and a participant survey, show that interactions with plants can amplify people’s connection to the environment and that such attachment can make the perception of climate change more present in the city.","PeriodicalId":44307,"journal":{"name":"Design and Culture","volume":"15 1","pages":"3 - 26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44592164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After a brief introduction, the subject-supposed-to-know and the transference relation are situated in the context of Lacan’s work and explored with reference to Plato’s Symposium. The figure of Steve Jobs is then introduced as a representative example of the subject-supposed-to-know; that is, as a figure who mediates the relation between subject and object through various discursive strategies. The nature of the belief necessary to this relation is then interrogated via a reading of The Devil Wears Prada. The final section addresses the ideological function of Steve Jobs in the terms of the discourse of management.","PeriodicalId":44307,"journal":{"name":"Design and Culture","volume":"15 1","pages":"69 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44067467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For us, the co-convenors of the Pluriversal Design Special Interest Group (SIG) of the Design Research Society (DRS), it involves redesigning the terms and forms of interaction between different modes of being for mutual understanding and appreciation. A pluriverse is not a world of independent units but a world based on radical interdependence (Escobar 2020; Mignolo 2018). This special forum emerged from Pivot 2020, a virtual conference organized by the DRS Pluriversal Design SIG and the Phyllis M. Taylor Center for Social Innovation and Design Thinking at Tulane University. Three authors deepened their reflections on pluriversality and submitted new papers for this special forum. Two years ago, we launched a call for papers inviting design researchers to jointly reimagine a world of many centers. We intended to go beyond the critique of modernity and colonialism, encouraging people to consider a thought-provoking set of questions: What does a world of many centers look like? What is needed to create this reality? Who is needed to create this? How does it operate? In prompting authors to respond to our call, we Renata M.
