Description
The second edition of Design History provides an essential introduction to the seminal theories, methods and debates which have shaped the field, equipping students and scholars with the historiography, interdisciplinary approaches and key issues concerning knowledge and meaning in design. This new edition features:
- Two new chapters on the geographies and ecologies of design history, addressing globalization, transnational and decolonial perspectives, as well as sustainability, environmental issues and planetary thinking
- Expanded discussion of design history's relationship with neighbouring fields, including material culture, museology, anthropology, business history and the history of technology
- 60 colour images, including examples of Brazil's Orelhão phone booth, neon signs in Hong Kong and an Australian postage stamp series
A map to the intellectual landscape of design history that engages with the latest developments and contemporary concerns, this book is an invaluable and up-to-date guide for students and scholars.
