Beskrivning
Covering the 1960s and 1970s, this volume explores new ways of investigating, comparing and interpreting the different domains of design culture across the Nordic countries. Challenging the traditional narrative, this volume argues that the roots of the most prominent features of Nordic design’s contemporary significance are not to be found amongst the objects for the home collectively branded as ‘Scandinavian Design’ to great acclaim in the 1950s, but in the discourses, institutions and practices formed in the aftermath of that oft-told success story, during the turbulent period between 1960 and 1980. This is achieved by employing multidisciplinary approaches to connect the domains of industrial production, marketing, consumption, public institutions, design educations, trade journals as well as public debates and civic initiatives forming a design culture. This book makes a significant contribution to current, international agendas of historiographical critique focusing on transnational relations and the deconstruction of national design histories. This book will be of interest to scholars in design, design history and Scandinavian studies.The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.

Recensioner i media

"The period focus, the networked approach, and the comparative, pan-Nordic focus are all much needed. The focus on this period, as a foundational one for still ongoing discussions about consumption and ethics, will ensure this collection contributes to new scholarly directions inside and outside the Nordic countries."--Charlotte Ashby, Birkbeck, University of London"[This book] rethinks an important and transformative – yet understudied – period in Nordic design, by focusing on discourses, institutions, and practices. Abounding with remarkable, lesser-known case studies, the book offers a valuable historical account of how these transformative discourses connect to key topics in current design practice: co-designing, design as activism, and design transitions towards a sustainable future."--Ingrid Halland, The University of Bergen/The Oslo School of Architecture and Design
