Alle Radici del Design Espanso. Quali futuri per la Storia del Design? raccoglie gli atti del VI Convegno dell’Associazione Italiana Storici del Design (AIS/Design), svoltosi al Politecnico di Milano il 24 e 25 novembre 2023. A cura di Letizia Bollini, Giampiero Bosoni, Marinella Ferrara, Francesco E. Guida e Chiara Lecce, il volume rappresenta una riflessione interdisciplinare e di livello internazionale sul concetto di “Design Espanso” e sulle sue implicazioni per la storiografia del design contemporaneo.
Il libro si articola attorno a due principali linee di ricerca: le “Nuove Storie”, che propongono approcci critici e metodologici alternativi alla narrazione storica tradizionale, e “La Didattica della Storia del Design”, che analizza pratiche e strumenti per l’insegnamento della disciplina in una prospettiva aggiornata e inclusiva.
Completano il volume i contributi della sessione speciale dedicata a Vanni Pasca, fondatore di AIS/Design, e la pubblicazione delle tre tesi vincitrici della prima edizione del Premio Vanni Pasca, a lui intitolato.
Edito in formato bilingue italiano/inglese, il volume intende favorire un confronto internazionale e pluralistico, ponendosi come strumento di riferimento per studiosi, docenti, studenti e professionisti interessati all’evoluzione e al futuro della storia del design.
