Abstract
Abstract This special issue on Material Displacements explores the intersection of materiality, design, and displacement, conceived of as rupture, transition, and traversal of borders, boundaries, and forms. This introduction outlines the role of displacement in various disciplines and theoretical approaches, highlighting those of new materialism, critical urbanism, deterritorialization, and border thinking. It then presents work published in the Journal of Design History by design historians and theorists who have envisioned design’s relation with displacement through diverse perspectives. Each author contributing to this issue reveals the power and role of materiality in inducing movement in/out of the borders broadly conceived, as well as materials’ susceptibility to external forces of displacement.
