Abstract

Design Beyond the Human is a collection of essays by scholars and designers from the Global South and Global North, traversing anthropology, sociology, philosophy, ethics, history, politic, economic, law, cellular agriculture, technology, design theory and design practice. Through a series of essays organized into three sections - We Are Not Alone, Design Beyond the Human, and Mediating Human-Non-Human Relations Through Design, the text generates a transdisciplinary conversation capable of thinking about life on planet Earth: challenging the Anglo-European anthropocentric conceptualisation of design that dominates practice, education, and academic discourse.
