Designs for the pluriverse : radical interdependence, autonomy, and the making of worlds / Arturo Escobar.
Arturo Escobar presents a new vision of design theory by arguing for the creation of what he calls "autonomous design"--A design practice aimed at channeling design's world-making capacity toward ways of being and doing that are deeply attuned to justice and the Earth.
