Making hacks into reality. It engages matter in ways that trespass the boundaries between the civic realm and the state-assigned laws. Even with primitive tools and skills, designing and making can break open and repurpose arrangements of power. The proof is that some crafts are so controversial—lock-picking, moonshining, shoplifting, smuggling, sabotage—that they need to be controlled or even outlawed. When designers and makers touch on these contested realms, they run into trouble. This highly original book explores how the material power of design and making can challenge arrangements of agency and domination. Unpacking a series of conflicting cases—from illegal making to the strategic and civic use of crafts to manifest radical alternatives to the current order—it shows how designers and makers can use even basic tools to work towards more.

Designers are often depicted as social change agents that serve the good in the world. Similarly, co-design tends to be described as a democratic mode of creativity that is somehow beyond reproach. But is change a virtue in itself, and do participatory practices always produce socially beneficial outcomes?
Such questions are becoming more pressing as co-design has emerged as a dominant practice in planning and urban design, while also informing corporate management and public administration. In this book, Otto von Busch and Karl Palmås suggest that designers tend to overemphasize the place of ideals in design, leaving them ill-equipped to deal with a social world of power-wielding and zero-sum games. Seeking to reorient the concerns of the Scandinavian tradition of participatory design, they suggest that co-design processes are rife with betrayals, decay, and corruption, and that designerly empathy has morphed into a new form of cunning statecraft.
In putting forward Realdesign as an alternative conception of design practice, von Busch and Palmås ask: What hard lessons about the social must today’s designers learn from realists like Machiavelli?

What if fashion was a state? What kind of state would it be? Probably not a democracy. Otto von Busch sees fashion as a totalitarian state, with a population all too eager to enact the decrees of its aesthetic superiority. Peers police each other and deploy acts of judgment, peer-regulation, and micro-violence to uphold the aesthetic order of fashion supremacy.Using four design projects as tools for inquiry, Von Busch explores the seductive desires of envy and violence within fashion drawing on political theories. He proposes that the violent conflicts of fashion happen not only in arid cotton fields or collapsing factories, but in the everyday practice of getting dressed, in the judgments, sneers, and rejections of others. Indeed, he suggests that feelings of inclusion and adoration are what make us feel the pleasure of being fashionable—of being seductive, popular, and powerful.Exploring the conflicting emotions associated with fashion, Von Busch argues that while the current state of fashion is bred out of fear, The Psychopolitics of Fashion can offer constructive modes of mitigation and resistance. Through projects that actively work towards disarming the violent practices of dress, Von Busch suggests paths towards a more engaging and meaningful experience of fashion he calls “deep fashion.”

What is the relationship between the soul, or inner life, and what we wear in the making of identity and belief? What bearing do religious and political belonging, respectability, and resistance have on the way in which we dress? Why have more traditional religious practices been so prescriptive about body adornment? Historically, fashionable dress and religion have been positioned as polar opposites. Silhouettes of the Soul brings them together, placing them in conversation with each other. By moving beyond traditional, social scientific, and historical analysis of religious attire and adornment the book presents a variety of disciplinary approaches from across regional, social, and religious locations.Contentious and challenging, as well as academically rigorous, the book''s diverse range of contributors - from fashion and religious studies scholars, to designers, activists, monastics, and journalists - explore the relationship between religion and fashion, extending the meanings and possibilities of both dress and spirituality. Combining interviews and personal stories with more traditional theoretical analysis, Silhouettes of the Soul offers new ways of looking at the relationship between religion, personal convictions, and self-expression - our sense of self and our sense of fashion.

Four thousand years ago in Babylon, a teenage scribe named Iddin-Sin wrote an indignant letter to his mother: everyone else’s clothes get better every year, but his are getting worse. This brief complaint — our earliest known fashion grievance — becomes the starting point for a new history of dress.In The Deep History of Dress, Otto von Busch reads Iddin-Sin’s letter line by line, against the backdrop of Mesopotamian cities, textile trade, law, and schooling, to suggest fashion runs deeper in Western culture than previously thought. Drawing on anthropology, sociology, and the life sciences, he argues that fashion is not a recent, shallow invention of capitalism but a deep human organ of social sensing—a way we feel hierarchy, belonging, desire, and love on the social skin of our bodies.From the deep history of cuneiform tablets to today, fashion appears here not as artifice or vanity but as a vital force—a social form in motion, a cognitive dynamic, a membrane between body and world, and a living record of civilization’s pulse. Fashion is a symbiotic organ that has grown with us, shaped us, and dreamed alongside us since the dawn of history.

Kan mönsterkonstruktion lära oss om civil olydnad och hur vi omvandlar politiska strukturer? Boken "Befrielse och civil olydnad" undersöker vad politiskt motstånd kan lära från hur kläder formar, stramar och strukturerar. Vad kan civil olydnad lära från hur mode sprids genom imitationer och innovationer. I "Befrielse och civil olydnad" blir tyger och sömmar politiska samarbetspartners snarare än passiva objekt. Skall vi förstå klädkoder som en form av lagstiftande?"Befrielse och civil olydnad" är ett samtal mellan Otto von Busch och Per Herngren om civil olydnad, ickevåldsmotstånd och kläddesign. Med exempel från deras praktiker växer en filosofi om politisk omvandling fram.

Konstnären Bunny Rogers tillhör en generation som vuxit upp med internet. Tillsammans med Filip Olszewski har hon broderat logotyper på snuttefiltar. Märken som känns igen från de skräpiga pop-up-fönster, som brukar dyka upp så fort en film ska streamas eller en googlesökning tar en till en mer perifer plats än Wikipedia. En visuell kultur som lockar till uppmärksamhet och begär materialiseras. De broderade logotyperna medvetandegör kontexten: Om utsatthet, exploatering och förnedring. Dessa filtar visar vi i det här numrets bildgalleri. I det redaktionella arbetet har vi emellanåt ställt oss frågan i vilken utsträckning försöken att använda mode som teoretiskt och konstnärligt verktyg förskjuter och ifrågasätter dominerande världsordningar. Det mest brännande i våra krängande samtal på redaktionen har handlat om vad som bjuder motstånd mot ett system och vad som bekräftar det. Dessa sonderingar av begär, och av tekniska och ekonomiska strukturer i samtiden, har i alla fall hjälpt oss att tolka hur vissa tecken hänger ihop med andra. Och att mode både kan betraktas som ett fält som fångar upp samtiden, och också i sig självt rymmer former för radikalt tänkande. Som Otto von Busch och Per Herngren visar i detta nummer går det att genom mode förstå samhällspolitiska förändringar. »Motståndets motståndskraft består till stor del av förmågan att smitta. » En förmåga som förstås utgör en del av modets själva essens.
