Abstract

With basis on the Hal Foster’s polemic work ‘Design and Crime: and other diatribes’, approaching design as a cultural modulation tool and consumption promoting agent, this study establishes a debate among theoreticians in the area of design and other knowledge areas in order to discuss the “design crime” suggested by the author. By means of a review of literature, the concepts of identity, value and role of design are addressed and the use of ‘design in parallax’ is proposed as a concept, which may contribute for reflecting the stereotyped recurrent features of design. Conclusions point to the need for deepening reflection on the place of design within the complex and paradoxal contemporary scenery and signal the coexistence of different design approaches, assumed in this work as a multifaceted field of action with blurred contours.
