Gert, Goeminne

In this article, I develop a constructive critique of ‘post-normal science’ by challenging the underlying conception of ‘normal science’. Invoking Latour's constructivist approach, I change focus from a representationalist understanding to a practice-inspired account of science in which the composition of a matter of fact necessarily implies a politically significant differentiation between internalities and externalities. Contending that science has never been normal in that it has always already been political, I further elaborate on this political dimension by connecting Latour's concepts of matters of fact and matters of concern with Boehm's distinction between logical and topical truth. Whereas logical truth...

The Fundamental Challenge of Product Design

  • PDF
Product design practice is an evolving art form. We have made tremendous improvement in methods for and execution of the process in recent years.

Given that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), by definition, is a voluntary activity, there has been speculation as to how resilient such activities are, particularly in times of economic constraint. In 2008, Mallen Baker administered a simple online voting poll which resulted in the majority of respondents predicting either cutting back or stopping CSR activities in response to extended economic recession. This study now aims to garner detailed views across a range of UK organisations in order to assess the resilience of their CSR activities together with capturing the key drivers behind their intentions.A survey approach has been adopted, with responses...

Tony, Fry

Rather than appealing to the agency of community and the received discourse of sustainability, this paper offers a critical perspective on both concepts. It puts forward a contextually dynamic view of urban futures–presented at a moment when the continuity of human settlement in its current forms appears as increasingly problematic. Against this backdrop, both community and urban futures are rethought and brought into relation with (i) the emergent discourse of ‘sustainment’ (named as a moment, project and process); and, (ii) the rise of ‘redirective practice’. Overall, the argument and ideas presented seek to reframe how the fate of the city,...
