Collaborative Social Design with Mexican Indigenous Communities Critical Craft and Transformative Practices

Collaborative Social Design with Mexican Indigenous Communities Critical Craft and Transformative Practices

This book builds on the work of anthropologists designers and ethnographers to develop an original methodology and framework for indigenous engagement and designer/non-designer collaboration in the field of social design. Following a collaborative case study conducted over a five-year period between the author project team and indigenous artisans in Mexico the book outlines the practical challenges of design research including funding logistics relationships between designers and communities failures successes and pivots. Social design literature has often focused on introducing important questions to the design research process but fails to deeply interrogate and demonstrate how these theories inform research projects in action which can then be open to misinterpretation bias and unintended harmful consequences. Centering the indigenous communities this book provides a detailed and clear example of not just why but how design and designers can work authentically and responsibly through different approaches and systems. The book examines the specific cultural epistemological and socio-political history of Mexico as it relates to colonization and indigenous peoples exploring the systemic influences of globalization and grounding the research in its unique context. It includes field notes conversations with the indigenous artisan communities workshops and prototypes to offer unique insight into a detailed collaborative social design initiative. This book intersects with the growing awareness of the necessity of decolonial approaches to design across the world and will be an important and useful study for academics students and researchers in social design sustainable development cultural studies and anthropology. | Collaborative Social Design with Mexican Indigenous Communities Critical Craft and Transformative Practices

Beyond Scenography

Beyond Scenography

Focused on the contemporary Anglophone adoption from the 1960s onwards Beyond Scenography explores the porous state of contemporary theatre-making to argue a critical distinction between scenography (as a crafting of place orientation) and scenographics (that which orientate acts of worlding of staging). With sections on installation art and gardening as well as marketing and placemaking this book is an argument for what scenography does: how assemblages of scenographic traits orientate situate and shape staged events. Established stage orthodoxies are revisited - including the symbiosis of stage and scene and the aesthetic ideology of 'the scenic' - to propose how scenographics are formative to all staged events. Consequently one of the conclusions of this book is that there is no theatre practice without scenography no stages without scenographics. Beyond Scenography offers a manifesto for a renewed theory of scenographic practice for the student and professional theatrical designer.
