Samenvatting
To understand the development of Dutch design as a transnational practice that crosses national and political borders, this study interweaves scholarship on national design, transnationalism and ‘new materialism’ into a ‘transnational material politics of design’ framework. ‘New materialism’ holds that, rather than being passive receptacles of social meanings, artefacts play an active and constitutive role in the production of cultural forms such as national design. New materialism thereby challenges design historians to supplement their understanding of the social factors participating in the construction of national design with an investigation of the agency of materials, artefacts and physical settings in this process. Accordingly, the main research question this dissertation addresses is: ‘Trough what transnational political and material processes has Dutch design been construed as a national practice?’ |
