Design History Beyond the Canon

摘要

The study of design history is a relatively new field, with the first 20-30 years of its development being focused on researching, understanding, and establishing a canon. The next steps, as prescribed by many leading design historians, is to explore design history beyond this canon, to push the boundaries and to perhaps even reimagine what the canon looks like. Design History Beyond the Canon does just that. Editors Jennifer Kauffmann-Buhler, Victoria Rose Pass, and Christopher Wilson bring together eleven essays that will challenge readers and their understanding of the canon.
