Welcome to the Design History Workshop Japan web site! This site is the official World Wide Web site of the Design History Workshop Japan which was founded in the autumn of 2002 as academic society for design history in Japan. The site was first uploaded in 2003. It aims to present news and information about our activities including journal, symposium and research workshop, and links to other places of interest on the internet. It contains not only the English site for overseas visitors, but also the members-only site which offers useful information for our members. |

Symposium 8th Symposium : Reconsideration: World Design Conference 1960 in Tokyo
7th Symposium : Photography x Propaganda x Design
6th Symposium : Design and Media Contemporary media has developed fast, but the actual ‘media’ that connected such media and people is ‘design’.
5th Symposium : Design, Text and Context: Design History for Whom?If history is a constructed tale, narrated from a specific viewpoint with particular concerns in mind, how has design’s story been told? At the turn of the last century, the design historian was almost the craftsman himself who dominated the academic study of the art of design. In the years between the First and Second World Wars, design history became a story of progressthe advancement of modern designas written by modernist ideologues like Sir Nikolaus Pevsner and Herbert Read. This positivist narrative came under attack in the 1970s with the rise of Cultural Studies, and today, design historians practice our craft mindful of the need to recognize a multiplicity of viewpoints and experiences of design as practice, product and way of working in the world. But how do we write our histories of design for today, and what is our goal in composing these narratives? Should design histories increase intercultural and transnational understanding? Make apparent economic interactions between corporations and consumers? Benefit designers and producers? Educate the public about design through exhibitions and experiential learning? And if the answer is “all of these”, how might we best address these multiple audiences? This symposium is an opportunity to discuss these and other questions in the contemporary practice of design history.
