Expanding the Frontiers of Design Critical Perspectives

Expanding the Frontiers of Design Critical Perspectives

Design Thinking a method widely used in design business and management has changed the landscape of contemporary design. Whereas in the past non-designers were called upon to serve as external consultants ad-hoc in an effort to promote creativity and innovation most design teams now consist of a mix of designers and other professionals. The impact of this development on the design landscape in recent years is so far without thorough investigation and analysis of its various influences. This book comprises an edited collection of selected papers from the 13th Design Thinking Research Symposium (DTRS13) which offers an exploration of Design Thinking from theoretical practical and pedagogical perspectives as well as critical analysis of the design process. The book is arranged in five parts as follows: Part 1: Thinking about design Part 2: Design thinking in the studio Part 3: Design thinking in practice and professional training Part 4: Design teams of diverse backgrounds Interdisciplinary projects Part 5: Design and nature; visual representation Providing a comprehensive source for new perspectives on design and Design Thinking Expanding the Frontiers of Design is ideal for designers and design academics of all disciplines wishing to strengthen and innovate their practice as well as industry leaders who seek to consolidate their business strategies and evolve their work. | Expanding the Frontiers of Design Critical Perspectives

Ritual and Systems Thinking Managing an Initial Encounter

Ritual and Systems Thinking Managing an Initial Encounter

To many individuals and organisations situations generated by the world coronavirus pandemic have posed challenges and opportunities. We need to rethink how we interact with each other and with our natural environments. This book offers a way forward by proposing the use of rituals insight: semi-encoded patterns of thinking or actions to help us rebuild a sense of community which integrated with insights of applied systems thinking and in contrast to a dominant pragmatist orientation of thinking and action could help us further cope with work or education situations in which we still want to pursue our authenticity as human beings. This book offers ways to help make sense of how we could systemically and compassionately slow down and cope with work or education during and after the world coronavirus pandemic. It does so by integrating ideas about ritual with current research and practice on applied systems thinking. The author establishes a dialogue for co-existence between individuals and the knowledge disciplines of creativity and applied systems thinking using the mediation of rituals to help us appreciate our world with others. This conversation is much needed given our sense of uncertainty during and after the world coronavirus pandemic and the challenges or opportunities offered by hybrid work and education. Throughout the book the conversation explores new directions for research and practice beyond “futureaction” perspectives or orientations and the inclusion of electronically mediated spaces. The insights provided in this book offer a vital resource for management researchers and upper-level students particularly those researching and studying applied systems thinking and creativity. | Ritual and Systems Thinking Managing an Initial Encounter

Thinking Like a Lawyer An Introduction to Legal Reasoning

Thinking Like a Lawyer An Introduction to Legal Reasoning

Law students law professors and lawyers frequently refer to the process of thinking like a lawyer but attempts to analyze in any systematic way what is meant by that phrase are rare. In his classic book Kenneth J. Vandevelde defines this elusive phrase and identifies the techniques involved in thinking like a lawyer. Unlike most legal writings which are plagued by difficult virtually incomprehensible language this book is accessible and clearly written and will help students professionals and general readers gain important insight into this well-developed and valuable way of thinking. Updated for a new generation of lawyers the second edition features a new chapter on contemporary perspectives on legal reasoning. A useful new appendix serves as a survival guide for current and prospective law students and describes how to apply the techniques in the book to excel in law school. | Thinking Like a Lawyer An Introduction to Legal Reasoning

A Study of Thinking

A Study of Thinking

A Study of Thinking is a pioneering account of how human beings achieve a measure of rationality in spite of the constraints imposed by bias limited attention and memory and the risks of error imposed by pressures of time and ignorance. First published in 1956 and hailed at its appearance as a groundbreaking study it is still read three decades later as a major contribution to our understanding of the mind. In their insightful new introduction the authors relate the book to the cognitive revolution and its handmaiden artificial intelligence. The central theme of the work is that the scientific study of human thinking must concentrate upon meaning and its achievement rather than upon the behaviorists' stimuli and responses and the presumed connections between them. The book's point of departure is how human beings group the world of particulars into ordered classes and categories-concepts-in order to impose a coherent and manageable order upon that world. But rather than relying principally on philosophical speculation to make its point A Study of Thinking reports dozens of experiments to elucidate the strategies that people use in penetrating to the deep structure of the information they encounter. This seminal study was a major event in the cognitive revolution of the 1950s. Reviewing it at the time J. Robert Oppenheimer said it has in many ways the flavor of conviction which makes it point to the future.

The Zimbabwean Maverick Dambudzo Marechera and Utopian Thinking

The Zimbabwean Maverick Dambudzo Marechera and Utopian Thinking

This book seeks to unfold the complexity within the works of Dambudzo Marechera and presents scholars and readers with a way of reading his works in light of utopian thinking. Writing during a traumatic transitional period in Zimbabwe’s history Marechera witnessed the upheavals caused by different parties battling for power in the nation. Aware of the fact that all institutionalized narratives – whether they originated from the colonial governance of the UK Ian Smith’s white minority regime or Zimbabwe’s revolutionary parties – appeal to visions of a utopian society but reveal themselves to be fiction Marechera imagined a unique utopia. For Marechera utopia is not a static entity but a moment of perpetual change. He rethinks utopia by phrasing it as an ongoing event that ceaselessly contests institutionalized narratives of the postcolonial self and its relationship to society. Marechera writes towards a vision of an alternative future for the country. Yet it is a vision that does not constitute a fully rounded sense of utopia. Being cautious about the world and the operation of power upon the people rather than imposing his own utopian ideals Marechera chooses instead to destabilize the narrative constitution of the self in relation to society in order to turn towards a truly radical utopian thinking that empowers the individual. | The Zimbabwean Maverick Dambudzo Marechera and Utopian Thinking

Translation and Big Details Part-Whole Thinking as Practice and Theory

Translation and Big Details Part-Whole Thinking as Practice and Theory

In the age of big data evidence keeps suggesting that small elusive and infrequent details make all the difference in our appreciation of humanistic texts—film fiction and philosophy. This book argues from a cross-disciplinary perspective that expertise in humanistic translation is precisely the capacity to capture those details that are bigger than they seem. In humanistic translation the expert handling of big details usually serves audiences and the original but mala fide translation also works the details for subtle manipulation and audience deception. A focus on textual detail is therefore characteristic of humanistic translators but also compatible with central claims of the cultural turn in translation studies. This book written by a scholar and teacher of literary essayistic and audiovisual translation endeavors to articulate a seemingly dual interest—on textual detail and cultural analysis—as a single one. It theorizes connections between micro and macro analysis between translation as detail and translation as culture thus hoping to build bridges between humanistic translators and translation scholars. It acknowledges tensions between practice and theory and proposes a way forward: practitioners and scholars share ways of thinking—varieties of part-whole thinking—that machines can never acquire. | Translation and Big Details Part-Whole Thinking as Practice and Theory
