2	Design Activism Challenging the Speciesist Upbringing of Children Wallén, Matilda January 2022 (has links) The arguments for advancing the interests of other animals are overwhelming. Human's exploitation of other animals is deeply intertwined with the modern crisis. The reality for the nonhuman animals we consume is a blind spot in our children's education. Not only are they withheld certain information, but they are also lied to. This thesis explores a reflective approach to animal rights activism targeting children and parents in a try to intervene in the social construction of speciesism. This was done through the design activity of making provotypes, situated in the urban space. While this approach did not lead to the desired commitment, it resulted in some valuable insights on how parents think about consumption of other animals and how they talk, or not talk, about it with their children. It also opened up for ideas on how to proceed this exploration of how to cultivate children's empathy for other animals instead of teaching them to be speciesist. / <p>Examensarbetet är utfört vid Institutionen för teknik och naturvetenskap (ITN) vid Tekniska fakulteten, Linköpings universitet</p> Parenting Media and Communication Technology Medieteknik

The starting point of the project is to support women’s well-being while patriarchal capitalist society diminishes their self-worth to make them consume. However, not only women but everyone is affected by beauty standards from society. By applying different design methods, the aim is to sustain an individual’s mental and physical well-being by reducing the pressure while navigating the demands of society through investigating the problems and finding ways to stay with the problem. well-being women individuals design activism patriarchy capitalism beauty industry consumerism critical design zine Humanities and the Arts Humaniora och konst
4	Exploring interaction design for counter-narration and agonistic co-design – Four experiments to increase understanding of, and facilitate, an established practice of grassroots activism Palmér, Daniel January 2012 (has links) This is a documentation of a programmatic design approach, moving through different levels of an established practice of grassroots activism. The text frames an open-ended, exploratory methodology, as four stages of investigation, trying to find possible ways to shape and increase understanding of, and facilitate a process, of co-designing a practice. It presents the experience of looking for opportunities for counter-narration, as contribution to an activist cause, and questioning the role, purpose and approach of a designer in a grassroots activist environment.

5	Fult trä : Om den estetiska värderingen av materialet trä / Ugly wood : About the aesthetic values of the material wood Isaksson, Elin January 2021 (has links) Denna studie undersöker de estetiska värderingarna av materialet trä i möbelproduktion och hur det påverkar materialåtgången. Tidigare forskning har främst undersökt träslaget furu och det estetiska urvalet som händer redan i träproduktion. Resultat i denna studie har visat att ett så homogent material som möjligt är att föredra, utan kvistar, färgförändring och ojämn fiberriktning. Större produktionsbolag ser till att spillmaterial som blir över efter sortering blir pappersmassa eller spån. Möbeltillverkare har inte resurser för att ge sitt spill ett andra liv utan eldar upp det. Liknande studier har kommit fram till att det finns estetiska preferenser på trä men inte hur man kan påverka konsumentens val. Hur kan man genom design förändra den estetiska värderingen kring valet av material och förhindra onödigt svinn? Syftet med detta projekt är att genom kritisk design belysa problematiken kring hur vi konsumerar material utifrån estetiska värderingar och konsekvenserna det medför. Kvalitativa metoder i form av expertintervjuer har gjorts för att samla information om hur möbelproducenter väljer sitt material utifrån estetiska preferenser. Resultatet påvisar att en möbel kan generera spill på upp till 70 procent av en planka. Ur ett hållbarhetsperspektiv är det viktigt att visa på de negativa följderna som kommer av att välja bort ett värdefullt material för att det inte är estetiskt tilltalande. / This study examines the aesthetic values of the material wood in furniture manufacturing and how it affects material consumption. Previous research has mainly examined the wood species pine and the aesthetic selection that occurs in wood production. Results in this study have shown that a homogeneous material as possible is preferable, without knots, irregular coloration, and uneven grain. Larger production companies ensure that waste material that remains after sorting becomes pulp or flakes. Furniture manufacturers do not have the resources to give their waste another life, instead they burning the wood for heat. Similar studies have concluded that there are aesthetic preferences on wood but not how to influence consumer choice. How can design change the aesthetic value of the choice of material and prevent unnecessary waste? The purpose of this project is to shed light on the problem of how we consume materials based on aesthetic values and the consequences it has through a critical design perspective. Qualitative methods in the form of expert interviews have been made to gather information on how furniture manufacturers choose their materials based on aesthetic preferences. The results show that a piece of furniture can generate wood waste up to 70 percent of a plank. From a sustainability perspective, it is important to point out the negative consequences that will opt out of a valuable material because it is not aesthetically pleasing.
