In Case of Design — Inject Critical Thinking
Frida Jeppsson has just released her curated collection on critical discourse, In Case of Design—Inject Critical Thinking, featuring essay contributions by Max Bruinsma, Gareth Williams, Donna Loveday, Rory Dodd, Steven Heller, Rick Poynor, Michael Rock, Anna Gerber and Teal Triggs, Kate Andrews, and myself.
I just received my advance copy yesterday (took a while to go from Sweden to Texas), but the book is now available from Frida’s website.
The essays in the book examine critical discourse from several vantage points and in different contexts. As the editor, design critic and curator Frida Jeppsson puts it, “The book is as much an experiment as an excursion aiming to investigate what scenarios, results, and opportunities a new language and an illuminated and extended critical discourse can produce.” Having just received my copy, I have yet to consume the entire contents, but the parts I’ve read have been wonderful and, given the other contributors, the rest promises to be excellent.
Hats off to Frida for collecting thoughts on this important topic and presenting them so nicely. And thanks so much for including me among the contributors.
