THE DISOBEDIENCE OF DESIGN - LARA PENIN KARTONI...

This volume presents for the first time in English a curated selection of writings by the
design thinker Gui Bonsiepe from the 1960s to the present day. Addressing as it does questions
of non-Western design and a design practice that is both radical and democratic  Bonsiepe's
work has assumed new importance for current debates inspired by global political and
environmental crises. Structured into three sections  the anthology first addresses Bonsiepe's
work on design theory and practice  particularly in relation to the history and contemporary
relevance of the Ulm design school  where Bonsiepe was a professor in the 1960s. A second
section then represents Bonsiepe's writings after his move to South America in the 1960s and
'70s  where he worked as a design consultant for the Allende government in Chile before the
military takeover. In writings from the period  Bonsiepe explores the concept of design 'at the
periphery' and the relationship of national design traditions and practices in Latin American
countries to those of 'the core' - Western European and American design. The final section
comprises selections of Bonsiepe's writings on design in relation to literacy and language 
visuality and cognition. This indispensable volume includes new interviews with Bonsiepe as
well as his original  previously unpublished texts--
