An intersectional approach to design that incorporates one’s context and self The "auto-ethnographic turn" in design is emerging from a growing recognition of design’s capacity to make sense of one’s world. This book’s first section, Ideas and Dialogues, compiles reflections and conversations between theorists, educators and practitioners on conceptions of auto-ethnography and the self. The second section, Projects and Practices, demonstrates auto-ethnographic approaches.Contributors include : Anna Aagaard Jensen, Gijs Assmann, Bruno Baietto, Jurgen Bey, Joel Blanco, Théophile Blandet, Jan Boelen, Hsin Min Chan, Chongjin Chen, Meghan Clarke, Adelaide Di Nunzio, Billy Ernst, Hi Kyung Eun, Teresa Fernández-Pello, Andrea Gaspar, Konstantin Grcic, Metincan Güzel, Jing He, Aurelie Hoegy, Hicham Khalidi, Žan Kobal, Lorraine Legrand, Gabriel A.

Design theorist Louise Schouwenberg examines the meaning and agency of things as mediators between people and world, both within everyday life and the museum context.Moreover, she questions the market's obsession with novelty in design, and searches for answers how to distinguish novelty for the sake of novelty from true cultural innovation in design, of which a museum archive testifies.The themes, examples and images are chosen in close consultation with designer Hella Jongerius.Graphic design by Irma Boom.Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Die Neue Sammlung/Beyond The New at The Design Museum, Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich (10 November 2017 - 16 September 2018).
