  • Taylor & Francis Inc Design and Political Dissent

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book examines, through an interdisciplinary lens, the relationship between political dissent and processes of designing.In the past twenty years, theorists of social movements have noted a diversity of visual and performative manifestations taking place in protest, while the fields of design, broadly defined, have been characterized by a growing interest in activism. The book's premise stems from the recognition that material engagement and artifacts have the capacity to articulate political arguments or establish positions of disagreement. Its contributors look at a wide array of material practices generated by both professional and nonprofessional design actors around the globe, exploring case studies that vary from street protests and encampments to design pedagogy and community-empowerment projects.For students and scholars of design studies, urbanism, visual culture, politics, and social movements, this book opens up new perspectives on design and its place iTrade Review"... lively and timely... the volume is a welcome addition to the growing literature on design and politics. It will interest researchers and teachers of design as well as social life, while also being accessible, at least in part, to a more practice-oriented readership."--Design and Culture"Design and Political Dissent is a far-reaching and ambitious book not only in its intellectual and geographical scope, but also in its diversity of topics and formats."--Journal of Design HistoryTable of Contents1.

Luce Professor of Law and Political Science, Emeritus, Yale University"Almost everyone writing for this volume, not just the editors, seems committed to treating illiberalism as the concept that sheds the greatest light on the distinctive forms of authoritarianism or populism or ethnocentrism emerging in contemporary politics.

  • Taylor & Francis Activism in Hard Times in Central and Eastern

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisActivism in Hard Times in Central and Eastern Europe elevates the voices of civic activists from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and analyzes a wealth of information to generate new insights into how activism in the region manages to be vibrant, diverse, and consequential.Because of these countriesâ unique historical trajectory, CEE activists have, in important ways, leap-frogged their counterparts in the West. Giving special attention to activists in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), Hungary, Poland, Russia, and Ukraine, the book focuses on responses to the recent âœhard timesâ â the shrinking of public space for civil society, democratic backsliding, polarization, and Russiaâs war in Ukraine. The contributors contend that CEE activists provide important lessons for others confronting similar challenges around the world.The book is well-suited for a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses, such as comparative politics, human rights, global governance, social
