Design is a vibrant field. The so-called 'edges' are increasingly becoming its driving forces. Crossovers between traditional design disciplines and other professions are becoming enriched. Design and Culture will occupy a vital role in tackling these changes head-on by situating design within the full range of cultural contexts. It will also examine design in relation to other academic disciplines, including marketing, management, cultural studies, anthropology, material culture, geography, visual culture and political economy. Peer-reviewed, full-color and handsomely designed throughout, Design and Culture is the official journal of the Design Studies Forum. Topics will include the relationships between design and: · Processes · Theory and ideology · Society and new media · Political economy · Value · Consumption · 'Peripheral', 'transitional' and 'development' contexts · Leisure and tourism · Regeneration and social participation · Sustainability · The senses · Craft & art · The studio · The urban environment · Management · Brands The journal encourages submissions from scholars and practitioners across the broad range of humanities and social sciences disciplines.
