Zusatztext In totality [ Design History is] more than just a teaching or study resource. As [it] advocate[s] that the production, consumption and mediation of designed objects and images affect everyone, [it] will be of interest to both informed and general readerships. Design History 's introduction tentatively offers that design history might be seen as a field of cultural history - although, as the volume unfolds, robustly demonstrates that it is... indeed this is a great strength [of Design History ]: the effective demonstration that design analysis and history is not an elitist, purely academic pursuit, but essential to consideration of society and its cultural expressions in the very broadest sense.

It now examines artefacts from conception to development, production, mediation, and consumption. Over the last few decades, the discipline has developed a diverse range of theories and methodologies for the analysis of objects. Design History presents the most comprehensive overview and guide to these developments. The book first traces the development of the discipline, explaining how it draws from Art History, Industrial Design, Cultural History and Material Culture Studies. The core of the book then analyses the seminal methodologies used in Design History today. The final section highlights the key issues concerning knowledge and meaning in Design. Throughout, the aim is to present a concise and accessible introduction to this complex field. A map to the intellectual landscape of Design History, the book will be an invaluable guide for students and a very useful reference for scholars.
