Passing On History. Design Contribution To Knowledge Production

Beyond the book, on screens and in spaces being invented, we are seeing the re-casting of roles between people creating and people receiving historical narratives. The six studies brought together in this volume are intended to shed light on the role played by the design of graphic, publishing and museographical systems in the way knowledge is produced and passed on. This involves highlighting the challenges of design and questioning the place of signs, images and texts in these systems of transmission.
