Publication series of the Institute for Art and Design Studies
Since spring 2014, the Institute of Art and Design Studies at Folkwang University of the Arts has been publishing its own series with the renowned transcript publishing house. The editor of the series "Kunst- und Designwissenschaft" is Prof. Dr. phil. habil. Cordula Meier. The series presents excellent transdisciplinary research by young and established researchers at the interfaces of fine art, design, media and everyday aesthetics in a sophisticated setting. The individual volumes are united by an academic interest in design as an aesthetic phenomenon. The series thus contributes to the establishment of the young discipline of design studies, but is also dedicated to art-scientific phenomena. Prof. Dr. Cordula Meier: "Academic reflection on design is just as complex and multi-layered as the design process itself. The 'Art and Design Studies' series aims to demonstrate the range of methodological approaches that can be used to think about design. The aim is to stimulate a discourse on the discipline of design studies that seeks to establish the subject as a humanities discipline."
