概念、对象与方法:解析设计史研究的“边界”

Concept,Object and Method:Analysis of“Boundary”in Design History Research

基于当前设计与文化、消费之间形成的新的互动关系,设计史研究的边界也产生新的变化。从设计史的概念、研究对象、写作问题及方法等角度,对设计史研究的“边界”进行解析,以达到对当下设计史研究领域及范畴的清晰认识。在跨学科、跨领域的研究趋势下,设计史研究的边界具有“模糊性”的认知属性,然而,模糊的边界明示的是一种有活力的、动态的、与时俱进的边界。从形式上看,其呈现的是一种开放的、多元的设计史边界框架;从特征上看,其体现的是设计史研究具有的自律性和包容性。

Based on the new interactive relationship formed between design,culture,and consumption,the boundaries of design history research have also undergone new changes.From the perspectives of the concept,research objects,and writing methods of design history,this paper analyzes the“boundaries”of design history research to achieve a clear understanding of the scope of design history research.In the trend of interdisciplinary research,the boundaries of design history research have a cognitive attribute of“fuzziness”.However,fuzzy boundaries express a dynamic and constantly changing boundary.From a formal perspective,it presents an open and diverse framework of design history boundary,and from a characteristic perspective,it reflects the self-discipline and inclusiveness of design history research.
