In a world grappling with pressing environmental crises, where the survival of the human species hangs in the balance, and the pursuit of future technological innovation reaches unprecedented heights, it becomes crucial to transcend anthropocentric perspectives and redefine the role of design in the capitalist realm. By doing so, we open up avenues to create more just and sustainable worlds. This book serves as a invitation to embark on a journey of exploration, guided by ethics of more-than-human coexistence, that challenges the unsustainable foundations of the designs that shape our lives. At the heart of this discourse lies the questioning of human-centered design, which goes beyond mere theoretical and methodological considerations. It becomes an ethical imperative to critically reexamine the modern, colonialist, and anthropocentric legacies that permeate design culture. The authors within this book delve into ideas aimed at forging new relationships with the more-than-human world and our planet, employing design as a powerful form of political inquiry.
This book holds immense interest for academics and students within the realm of design, particularly those engaged in emerging branches such as speculative design, critical design, non-anthropocentric design, and design for transition. By delving into these critical topics, this book contributes to the ongoing dialogue and evolution of the field, shaping the future of design in profound ways.
