Reihe: Studies in Design and Material Culture

This is a timely exploration of the traffic between design and activism in the context of precarity – a social and material condition brought about by the growth of temporary, informal and irregular work. The book shows how design objects and practices open up possibilities to recode and reconfigure the effects of precarity.
