Zusatztext Design as Politics will give readers a new understanding of sustainability! a grasp of the difference between 'politics and the political' and a totally reconstructed view of what design is and what it can do. Informationen zum Autor Tony Fry is Principal of The Studio at the Edge of the World, Tasmania, Adjunct Professor at the University of Tasmania, Australia and Visiting Professor at Universidad de Ibagué, Colombia. He is an award-winning designer, cultural theorist, educator and author. He has held academic positions in Australia and internationally and is the author of sixteen books, including Design Futuring (Bloomsbury, 2009); Design as Politics (Bloomsbury, 2011), Becoming Human By Design (Bloomsbury, 2012), Remaking Cities (Bloomsbury, 2017), Defuturing (Bloomsbury, 2020) and Writing Design Fiction (Bloomsbury, 2021).The book argues that design is a vital form of political action, that current political ‘solutions' for unsustainability will fail and that a new post-democratic politics must be created. Design must play a major role in this, to become a powerful agent of change for a sustainable future.
