Specialist par excellence in the manufacture of identities, design is a fundamental discipline of our daily lives. However, critical reflection on their own identity is not abundant.

In the twelve essays that make up this book, Mário Moura calls the critique of design to analyze its thoughtless and contemporary culture, similar to the best tradition of literary criticism and art criticism.

With several forays into literature, politics, history, geography and cinema, the author dismantles the discursive heritage of design and demonstrates how it is formed and reformed by concepts of race, class, gender, authorship and periphery, among others. Published by Órfeu Negro.
