Design by/for/with/about/without animals: Tactics for animal liberation

Abstract [en]

As part of a larger ‘animal turn’ in the arts and humanities, the field of design research has increasingly oriented itself towards multispecies efforts. However, explicit references to Critical Animal Studies or animal liberation are still rare in design. This raises a fundamental concern about how more-than-human design may inadvertently perpetuate animal oppression by creating technologies, systems and artefacts that ultimately reinforce the exploitation of animals. In this chapter, we sketch the landscape of design research that is first-and-foremost driven by a critique of animal oppression. Through a mapping and discussion of existing design projects in relation to Critical Animal Studies literature, this text assembles a repertoire of tactics, questions and examples that can be of practical use for design scholar-activists interested in crafting proposals towards living with animals in ways that involve multispecies justice. We thereby argue that part of being a designer requires us to become aware of the dilemmas, of problematic norms, of uncomfortable spaces, and commit to challenging the status quo in informed and creative ways.
