About the Journal
Inmaterial is a scientific journal on design, art and society. It is published twice a year (June and December) through a double-blind peer review.
Aims and scope
The journal is aimed at researchers, professionals, and teachers who deal with design and art in its different theoretical and practical aspects. The purpose of this journal, nevertheless, is to overcome the traditional disciplinary boundaries, so as to make its reflections available to a broader public.
We call for a vision of artists and designers as both intellectual and material operators, conscious of the wide range of cultural, social, economic, and political implications of their actions, and therefore capable of asking themselves adequate and relevant questions for society. In a moment in which the very notion of design, its principles and specific objectives are subject to an evident reformulation, this journal also seeks to include the innovations – in epistemological, methodological, terminological terms, and the like – that might concern these disciplines.
Inmaterial wants to set up a space – rigorous but also agile and dynamic – for reflection and debate on issues related to design and its intrinsic capacity of social transformation.
