Che cos'è il canone del design? I discorsi e la praticaUniversità IUAV di Venezia
Doctoral thesis that addresses the question “What is the canon of design?”, or rather an analysis of design practice as a discourse — in the Foucauldian sense of the term.
According to the proposed theoretical framework, the thesis argues that the canon can no longer be seen as a circumscribable and easily surpassable object; at most, it functions as a product and result of this very discourse: an agent that preserves and perpetuates the unfolding of a practice — that of design — entirely traceable to a material product of humankind.
