The Non-Object of Queer Design: Anthropocentric Design on the Edge of Abjection, Perversion, and Ecstasy.
To interrogate design is to interrogate the human. They converge in a biased project of subjectivity that creates a fixed form of (human) existence that overshadows other forms of life. Yet, we may understand design as an ontological means of agency in which we design our perception of existence wit...

They converge in a biased project of subjectivity that creates a fixed form of (human) existence that overshadows other forms of life. Yet, we may understand design as an ontological means of agency in which we design our perception of existence with objects that design our subjectivity back. This way, it becomes possible to pervert anthropocentric tendencies in design by thinking/making it otherwise. This paper proposes to examine the discipline undertaking queer theory. Using such a posthuman critical apparatus may inform design in imagining and materialising the destabilisation of symbolic representations in the subject-object dialectic. For this, abjection theory is also addressed to substantiate the notion of the non-object in queering design. The non-object of queer design tries to conceptualise design as a queering puissance, of which the ultimate target of critical inquiry is focused on human-centred design approaches and their founding anthropocentric biases. Neither subject nor object, it allows for the embodiment of artistry, material exploration, and semiotic agency within interconnected desires and potentialities for the non-reproduction of the human. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Australian Feminist Studies is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
