HIST174 CM - Design Activism

This seminar studies the relationship between the world of design and social transformations from the early twentieth century to the present. In particular, it examines the history of modern design movements in the non-West, especially Latin America, Asia and the Middle East, from the early twentieth century to the present, and how these movements have negotiated processes of political economy to produce new forms of agency, identity, community and social exchange for the transformation of everyday life and ultimately social renewal.
