Abstract

This book questions if spherology is a philosophy for designers, giving guidance on ways to read Spheres, how to approach the trilogy’s indexicality, and apply the key tropes and ethics of atmospheres to digital design. Each chapter includes a design-in, that is a practical entry point into the many tropes of Spheres including— bubbles, globes and foam. The book also applies spherology to an atmosphere design issue involving endangered species and geospatial threats to the environment. Spherology refers to the Spheres trilogy by the philosopher Peter Sloterdijk, which traces spherical ideas, theories, sensations and feelings related to the philosophical concept of ‘being’ and the human-centered position of ‘being-in’. It is the first cynical, feminist companion of spherology to take a practice-led approach and to cover all three controversial volumes to with and against Spheres. Windle draws on feminist science and technology studies (STS) through parody within reading, writing and design practices. Design provides navigation so that academics and students can engage with spherology through an embodied concern with digital materiality. As a feminist companion for today’s design issues, the book is an essential read for feminist STS scholars, design practitioners and digital R&D specialists working both in industry and academia, including more specifically data visualisers, interface and interaction designers.

Abstract

Terra Forma raconte l’exploration d’une terre inconnue: la nôtre. Cinq siècles après les voyageurs de la Renaissance partis cartographier les terra incognita du Nouveau Monde, cet ouvrage propose de redécouvrir autrement cette Terre que nous croyons si bien connaître. En redéfinissant, ou plutôt en étendant le vocabulaire cartographique traditionnel, il offre un manifeste pour la fondation d’un nouvel imaginaire géographique et, ce faisant, politique.Les sept chapitres de ce livre sont des points de vue sur la réalité, de possibles visions du monde esquissées par différents prismes, comme autant d’instruments optiques : par les profondeurs, par les mouvements, par le point de vie, par les périphéries, par le pouls, par les creux, par les disparitions et les ruines, ils produisent des savoirs situés, incarnés. Écrit sur le mode du récit d’exploration, cet ouvrage se veut aussi un manuel de dessin, qui invite le lecteur à explorer les techniques de représentation sur divers terrains, dans le but de constituer progressivement et collectivement un atlas d’un nouveau genre.Travail expérimental à six mains, Terra Forma est le résultat d’une collaboration entre deux architectes dont la pratique se trouve à la croisée des questions de paysage et de stratégie territoriale, Alexandra Arènes et Axelle Grégoire, et une historienne des sciences, Frédérique Aït-Touati.

Abstract

The stroke' is the most concise and powerful statement of Gerrit Noordzij's theory of writing and was first published in Dutch in 1985. The book puts forward a genuine theory of all writing, done with any kind of generating tool. Noordzij starts with fundamentals - the space within and between letters - and proceeds in stages towards a full account of how the strokes of writing can be formed, and an analysis of the qualities of letters. Along the way, there are reflections on history and culture, and remarks on method. Noordzij's theory serves to repair the split that grew up, with the invention of printing, between written and typographic letters. He shows us the underlying 'written' quality of all letters, with whatever technology they have been formed. Just by virtue of its strong theory, 'The stroke' has practical consequences that transcend any simple 'how to do it' approach. Gerrit Noordzij is one of the eminent Dutch graphic designers and (in all senses) writers. He has also been a path-breaking teacher at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, where from 1970 to 1990 he directed the course in letter design. Among the students from his classes are some of the most distinguished Dutch type and graphic designers. As a writer of essays and books, his works include the bulletin Letterletter (reissued in book form in 2000) and De handen van de zeven zusters (2000).
