Conference of the Design History Society
September 3 - 6, 2008

Studying networks foregrounds infrastructure, negotiations, processes, strategies of interconnection, and the heterogeneous relationships between people and things. Within the wider context of post-modernism, it seems, we are experiencing a paradigm shift in design history and visual culture, and this conference offers an opportunity to address, explore and assess that shift, providing a platform for international debate and exchange.
