Over the past decade, incidents of state-sponsored punishment have plagued Europe’s Mediterranean borders, specifically criminalizing acts of “care,” such as distribution of contraceptives to women not supported by healthcare systems or the offer of shelter to unhoused populations. In response, Valeria Graziano, Marcell Mars, and Tomislav Medak have convened an international line-up of contributors to assemble the Pirate Care Project. The editors describe Pirate Care as a fundamentally anti-neoliberal concept of community-based “care” initiatives that operate without regard for legality or capitalist power structures; hence, the “pirate” modifier. A fisherman who rescues refugees in the Mediterranean despite the knowledge that they could be fined or arrested once returning to shore has engaged in an act of Pirate Care. Thus, the Pirate Care Project exists in separate, time-limited exhibitions, public talks, a conference that was held at the Center for Postdigital Cultures at Coventry University in 2019, and the Pirate Care Syllabus, which is a website containing resources and exercises structured as an academic syllabus.

In the United States, smell is often poorly delivered. Think, for example, of the clumsy smell-o-vision attempts in 1950s movie theaters, or the overbearing fragrance of scented candles. The phenomenon of “nose-blindness,” whereby we become desensitized to a scent within minutes of experiencing it, means that common scent delivery often seems heavy handed, or is partner to a separate primary experience, as is the case when eating food. But Living with Scents, a oneroom exhibition curated by Elisabetta Pisu and Clara Muller, offered an alternative vision of fragrance. Muller, who writes for the French olfactory magazine NEZ, sees the cultural presence of scent changing. As Muller told me in an interview conducted via email:
在美国,气味通常传递得很差。例如,想想20世纪50年代电影院里笨拙的嗅觉视觉尝试,或者香薰蜡烛的霸道香味。“鼻盲”现象,即我们在几分钟内就对一种气味变得不敏感,这意味着常见的气味传递往往显得过于沉重,或者是与另一种主要体验相结合,就像吃东西一样。但是,由伊丽莎白·皮苏(elisisabetta Pisu)和克拉拉·穆勒(Clara Muller)策划的室内展览“生活与香味”(Living with scent)提供了另一种香水的视角。穆勒为法国嗅觉杂志《NEZ》撰稿,他认为气味的文化存在正在发生变化。正如穆勒在通过电子邮件接受采访时告诉我的:

ABSTRACT This paper explores the intersection of culture and design, examining the practice of design for the speculative future through the lens of cultural activities. Several domains of design, including product design and service design, are interpreted as cultural activities. Through mixed methods of research for, through, and about design, this paper proposes design for the speculative future as speculative cultural intermediary. Three design projects are included to support the findings and describe the four stages: decoding culture, speculating meanings, encoding meanings, and design as speculative culture. This paper will contribute to developing a cultural design methodology covering these four stages.

Abstract The contribution Michel Foucault’s thoughts on power, in particular his ideas of subjectivity, freedom, and action, might have to the study of design’s ontological shaping of people is an emerging field of inquiry in the academy. Using a Foucauldian lens, this paper presents findings from semi-structured interviews with iPhone® users that speak to the ways Apple consumers are constituted into Apple subjects by what I refer to as “the Apple Way.” The ineradicable relationship between discourses of design and consumerism and their imperative to “better” human life is presented as a starting point. The iPhone as a technological device that “makes life better” for Apple consumers is critiqued; data reveals an uneasy reliance people have on the iPhone for their everyday life.

Abstract In cities across Australia and elsewhere, individuals and groups are experimenting with initiatives to link urban dwellers to local ecologies and strengthen the relation with and awareness of the environment. Community and street gardens, bush regeneration working bees, botanical and bird-watching expeditions in city parks and green areas are examples of this renewed interest in urban ecologies. What role can we, as design researchers, play in connecting city people to the ecologies they encounter in their everyday lives? This paper discusses a project in an urban precinct in Sydney. We made three campaigning artefacts: a library installation, seed balls made with kangaroo grass (Themeda triandra), and a map tracing a planty route around our urban university campus. Design experiences like workshops and walkshops mobilized these campaigning artefacts. This paper focuses on the seed balls to offer an example of how plants can decenter humans in the design process. We consider plants as possible allies in design activism and advance the idea of “planty design activism.” Global climate breakdown presented the plants and us with the challenge of Australia’s hottest year on record. The findings, drawn out through ethnographies and a participant survey, show that interactions with plants can amplify people’s connection to the environment and that such attachment can make the perception of climate change more present in the city.

Abstract This article addresses design theory’s lack of engagement with psychoanalysis by examining how the Lacanian concept of the subject-supposed-to-know can be used to explore the area of desirability in design and bring to light certain regularities in the structures of design discourse. After a brief introduction, the subject-supposed-to-know and the transference relation are situated in the context of Lacan’s work and explored with reference to Plato’s Symposium. The figure of Steve Jobs is then introduced as a representative example of the subject-supposed-to-know; that is, as a figure who mediates the relation between subject and object through various discursive strategies. The nature of the belief necessary to this relation is then interrogated via a reading of The Devil Wears Prada. The final section addresses the ideological function of Steve Jobs in the terms of the discourse of management.

What is pluriversal design? For us, the co-convenors of the Pluriversal Design Special Interest Group (SIG) of the Design Research Society (DRS), it involves redesigning the terms and forms of interaction between different modes of being for mutual understanding and appreciation. A pluriverse is not a world of independent units but a world based on radical interdependence (Escobar 2020; Mignolo 2018). This special forum emerged from Pivot 2020, a virtual conference organized by the DRS Pluriversal Design SIG and the Phyllis M. Taylor Center for Social Innovation and Design Thinking at Tulane University. Three authors deepened their reflections on pluriversality and submitted new papers for this special forum. Two years ago, we launched a call for papers inviting design researchers to jointly reimagine a world of many centers. We intended to go beyond the critique of modernity and colonialism, encouraging people to consider a thought-provoking set of questions: What does a world of many centers look like? What is needed to create this reality? Who is needed to create this? How does it operate? In prompting authors to respond to our call, we Renata M. Leit~ ao is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Human Centered Design at Cornell University and an Adjunct Professor at OCAD University. rml273@cornell.edu
什么是多元设计?作为设计研究学会(DRS)多元设计特别兴趣小组(SIG)的共同召集人,我们需要重新设计不同存在模式之间的互动术语和形式,以便相互理解和欣赏。多元宇宙不是一个由独立单位组成的世界,而是一个基于完全相互依存的世界(Escobar 2020;Mignolo 2018)。这个特别的论坛来自Pivot 2020,这是一个由DRS多元设计SIG和杜兰大学菲利斯·m·泰勒社会创新和设计思维中心组织的虚拟会议。三位作者深化了对多元性的思考,并为本次专题论坛提交了新的论文。两年前,我们发起了一项论文征集活动,邀请设计研究人员共同重新构想一个多中心的世界。我们打算超越对现代性和殖民主义的批判,鼓励人们思考一系列发人深省的问题:一个多中心的世界是什么样子?创造这种现实需要什么?这需要谁来创造?它是如何运作的?Renata M. Leit~ ao是康奈尔大学以人为本设计系的助理教授,也是OCAD大学的兼职教授,我们鼓励作者响应我们的呼吁。rml273@cornell.edu
