Re-Designing the East: Political Design in Asia and Europe is highlighting critical and resistive design practices in Eastern Europe, South and Eastern Asia from the nineteen-eighties through the present. Of particular focus is the role of both design and designers in the context of sweeping social, political, economic, and cultural upheaval. Since the early nineteen-nineties, the world order has radically shifted. In the far away East as viewed from a Eurocentric perspective countries like South Korea, Thailand, India and China have long asserted economic positions of global relevance. The book sheds light on highly divergent design positions, for instance, the logo of the Solidarnosc (Solidarity) movement created by Polish designer Jerzy Janiszewski. Among the positions currently explored is the Indian network Design & People; the Thai designer Pracha Suveeranont presents his extensive boycott campaign; the South Korean group Activism of Graphic Imagination (A.G.I.) is likewise engaged in activist contexts. ukryj opis
