DESIGN + RESEARCH + SOCIETY | FUTURE FOCUSED THINKING
50th Anniversary International Design Research Society Conference 27-30

Call for Papers: Additional Theme Session
Session Title:
The Politics of Commoning and Designing

This theme aims
to bring together practitioners, activists and researchers to explore the
tensions and potentialities around commoning in design and the (re)production
of âcommunity economiesâ. As De Angelis (2007) and others point out, commons
are today thought as the basis on which to build social justice, environmental
sustainability and a good life for all. But they, just as âcommunity economiesâ
(J.K. Gibson-Graham and Roelvink, 2011), operate within a world dominated by
capitalâs priorities and are thus also sites of struggle as well as targets of
co-optation and enclosure.
We invite papers
that relate to the following questions:
- What are the tensions and contradictions we encounter or create when designing for the commons?
- In activating commons to create and sustain alternative livelihoods, how does the role of designers change as well?
- If we take the commons and âcommunity economiesâ as a tool rather than as a goal, what do they allow us to contribute to?
- What practices of self-organization and division of labour are useful in getting people involved in commoning for progressive social change?
This theme
focusses on, amongst other things, how design relates to new forms of
enclosure, struggles and social justice, and the reproductive labour necessary
to care for commons. It seeks to benefit practitioners who want to imagine
alternative ways of making their livelihoods away from waged relations and
professionalism, and those who are questioning the role of the designer as a
problem solver not implicated in the âcommunityâ s/he interacts with.
