Beyond the nation? Reflections on design history

Beyond the nation? Reflections on design history

Yagou, Artemis

Article:

The concepts of the nation and national identity are analytical categories extensively used in design history. This paper highlights the complex and elusive nature of these concepts and suggests that their re-evaluation would be fruitful for the development of the design history discipline. In this respect, the idea of cosmopolitanism is proposed as as a key idea to be explored by design historians.
