Per un’antropologia del design

Elisabetta Di Giovanni, Michele Tiberio

Abstract


In questo articolo abbiamo l’intenzione di fare chiarezza sulla natura e significato del concetto di design research e di antropologia applicata al design, ponendo l’attenzione sulla relazione che questa disciplina ha con le scienze tradizionali; in particolare guarderemo all’antropologia con cui ha un rapporto diretto: la design research attinge ampiamente da questa scienza, utilizzandone i metodi e modificandoli per le proprie esigenze di ricerca. L’obiettivo è quello di offrire una riflessione teorica sulla natura della design research, sulle sue applicazioni teoriche e pratiche, e sulle metodologie di ricerca.

 

For design anthropology

In this article we intend to clarify the nature and meaning of the concept of design research and anthropology applied to design, focusing on the relationship that this discipline has with traditional sciences; in particular, we will look at anthropology with which it has a direct relationship: design research draws extensively from this science, using its methods and modifying them for its own research needs. The goal is to offer a theoretical reflection on the nature of design research, on its theoretical and practical applications, and on research methodologies.
