Editorial Policy
Design History is a research journal published annually by the Design History Workshop Japan.
The Editorial Board recognizes design history as a distinct discipline of research, but does not see it as a narrow academic field. Close relations and collaboration with other academic fields such as material and visual culture studies will bring new developments to the field of design history, and with national and cultural borders vanishing, the geographical area we must consider as design historians covers the globe from Japan, the Pacific Rim and Asia to Europe, the Americas and Africa. Addressing these issues from a standpoint based on the co-existence of cultural difference means,
moreover, that we cannot look only at modern industrial societies, but must look also at the pre-modern, where in specific regions or eras. Most importantly, design history must address the actions involved in both the production and the consumption of design.
The journal of the Design History Workshop Japan works from these basic assumptions to think about the political, economic, social, technological and cultural roles and meanings of design in ways that are historical, international and interdisciplinary, and to bring further developments to design history as new and independent research field.
The Editorial Board welcomes article submissions from research-
ers, historians, postgraduate students, designers, craftspeople, cura-
tors, promoters, collectors and journalists in Japan and overseas with
an interest in the history of design or a related field. All submissions should follow the submission guidelines. Each article submitted will be carefully reviewed by members chosen from the Editorial Board and the Editorial Advisory Board. Design History publishes articles in Japanese and/or English.
We have strong hopes that the journal will become an active site for design history research internationally.
