Who’s who in brazilian design? Notes on identity and the professional design field

Souza Leite, João de

Full Article:

In which ways the notion of identity interacts within the design field? How can it provide a better understanding of controversial issues in modern Brazilian design? To deal crititically with this history implies the identification of facts that interacted during its institutionalization from the fifties to the seventies. These are questions concerned to individual identities, collective identities and even institutional identities. This is the main concern of this article.
