Anthropocene in the meantime

In the e ra of the \; \;t he industrial vision of destruction and renewal has contracted a challenge d credibility. \;Is this industrial vision dead? \;We ask this question in two issues of \;Design|Arts|Culture (DAC) t o be published \;ultimo \;2026 and \;primo&n bsp\;2027. We invite contributions scoping:

(1) \;the \; archaeology \;of the &lsquo\;industrial quality product&rsquo\; [ keyword: \; \;&\; the \;]\;

(2) \;the &lsqu o\;industrial lens&rsquo\; as an \;archaeological \;tool [keyword: \; \;&\; \;]\;

The contr ibutions from art\, architecture\, archaeology and anthropology (4A)&mdash \;in making industrial society \;modern \;()&mdash\;articulate the ways t he industrial venture has been designed &\; displayed in public discour se. 4A would here define design in the expanded field ().

On the o ther hand\, the industrial venture itself may yet have an untapped potenti al in the ideas of \;destruction \;and \;renewal< /em> \;that grew\, developed and expounded throughout the Romantic era \, as laid out &\; archived in W. Benjamin&rsquo\;s \; \;(1927-1940): in a period from ~1820-1870.

We c all for contributions with a \;practical \;and \; reflective \;concern scoping the \;materiality \ ;of the product\, the \;concept \;of the industrial editi on and the \;updates \;on human living ( \;&\; the anthropocene): are \;ite ms\, \;manufacture \;and \;use \;lo oped together in various public parcours?

Or\, have they long since fallen apart into fragments of resource extraction\, manufacture\, logisti cs\, computation and end-usership? Some would find support Benjamin Bratte n&rsquo\;s layered theory of the \;. Others would find critically object to layers with e.g. Karen Barad&rsquo\;s \;.
