The Design Culture Reader
Design is part of ordinary, everyday life, to be found in every room in every building in the world.While we may tend to think of design in terms of highly desirable objects, this book encourages us to think about design as ubiquitous (from plumbing to television) and as an agent of social change (from telephones to weapon systems). The Design Culture Reader brings together an international array of writers whose work is of central importance for thinking about design culture in the past, present and future.Essays from philosophers, media and cultural theorists, historians of design, anthropologists, cultural historians, artists and literary critics all demonstrate the enormous potential of design studies for understanding the modern world. Organised in thematic sections, The Design Culture Reader explores the social role of design by looking at the impact it has in a number of areas – especially globalisation, ecology, and the changing experiences of modern life.Particular essays focus on topics such as design and the senses, design and war and design and technology, while the editor's introduction to the collection provides a compelling argument for situating design studies at the very forefront of contemporary thought.

Creating Gaia Culture : Vision and Workbook
Humanity stands at the threshold of a new phase of Earth's planetary evolution.Breathtaking possibilities - in tune with the evolutionary path of the universe - are now available.Yet the question arises: Does humanity have the ideas, foresight and potential for action that could create a culture that corresponds to the planet's transformation?In the midst of distressing ecological crises, Marko Pogacnik offers fresh hope.Having worked intensively in the fields of holistic ecology (geomancy) and Earth-healing for four decades, he now formulates a vision of a culture based on co-creation with Gaia (the Earth), her elemental worlds and beings from parallel evolutions.Creating Gaia Culture is also a workbook, featuring dozens of drawings and meditative exercises to help transcend mental obstacles by cultivating the quality of living imagination.Pogacnik - UNO Goodwill Ambassador and UNESCO Artist for Peace - presents numerous ways to collaborate with the process of creating Gaia culture.He allows us to look into the primeval source of the future by interpreting the ancient book of the biblical Apocalypse - a text that holds the secret of Earth changes in a coded vision of a new human civilization - and uses his experiences, visions, dream stories and communications with beings from parallel worlds to trigger pictures that can enable a new human culture become a tactile reality.

James Watt (1736-1819) : Culture, Innovation and Enlightenment
James Watt (1736-1819) was a pivotal figure of the Industrial Revolution.His career as a scientific instrument maker, inventor and engineer was developed in Scotland, his land of birth.His subsequent national and international significance as a scientist, technologist and businessman was formed in the Birmingham area.There, his partnership with Matthew Boulton and the intellectual and personal support of other members of the Lunar Society network, such as Erasmus Darwin, James Keir, William Small and Josiah Wedgwood, enabled him to translate his improvements in steam technology into efficient machines.His pumping and rotative steam engines represent a summit of technological achievement in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries. This is the traditional picture of James Watt. After his death, his surviving son, James Watt junior projected his father’s image through commissioning sculptures, medals, paintings and biographies which celebrated his reputation as a ‘great man’ of the Industrial Revolution.In popular historical understanding Watt has also become a hero of modernity, but the context in which he operated and the roles of others in shaping his ideas have been downplayed.This book explores new aspects of his work and evaluates him in his locational, family, social and intellectual contexts.

Why has the quality of pop culture declined?
The decline in the quality of pop culture can be attributed to a variety of factors. One reason is the increasing commercialization of the industry, which often prioritizes profit over artistic integrity. Additionally, the rise of social media and digital platforms has led to a saturation of content, making it more difficult for high-quality work to stand out. Furthermore, the demand for instant gratification and quick consumption has led to a focus on quantity over quality in pop culture. Lastly, the lack of diversity and representation in mainstream media has also contributed to the decline in quality, as it limits the range of perspectives and voices being heard.

What are event culture and time culture?
Event culture refers to the way in which events, such as festivals, concerts, and sporting events, shape and influence a society's values, beliefs, and behaviors. Time culture, on the other hand, refers to the way in which a society perceives and organizes time, including concepts of punctuality, scheduling, and the pace of life. Both event culture and time culture play a significant role in shaping social interactions, traditions, and overall societal norms.

Which culture is the best culture in the world?
It is not appropriate to label any one culture as the "best" in the world as every culture has its own unique strengths and values. Each culture contributes to the diversity and richness of the world, and it is important to respect and appreciate the differences among them. Instead of comparing cultures, it is more valuable to learn from and celebrate the diversity of cultures around the world.

Why is Turkish culture often confused with Arab culture?
Turkish culture is often confused with Arab culture due to several factors. Firstly, both cultures are located in the Middle East and share some similarities in language, religion, and traditional customs. Additionally, there is a historical connection between the two regions through the Ottoman Empire, which had a significant influence on Arab countries. Furthermore, the media and popular culture often portray a homogenized view of the Middle East, leading to misconceptions and generalizations about the diverse cultures within the region. However, it is important to recognize and appreciate the distinct differences and unique aspects of Turkish and Arab cultures.

Devotional Activism – Public Religion, Innovation and Culture in the Nineteenth–Century
Modern history has not been neutral in telling the story of religion.Since it presumes the centrality of human motives and machinations as the one and only means of explicating the unfolding of ‘events’, it has helped set the terms for what counts as a viable motive and what does not, and this is evident in the systematic unmasking of religion as only really ever about ‘something else’.By distilling more substantive/primary economic, political or other kinds of motives from the detritus of ‘religion’, the latter is thus consigned to the past as the primitive husk of more substantive and rational ways of thinking and acting.As a set of historical case studies, the essays collected here forgo that tendency, and suggest different possibilities for conceptualizing the fate of religion in the modern world.They chart a different course, one of faith and self-assertion. The essays take up a variety of episodes from modern European and American history and explore, from various angles, three interrelated themes: 'public religion', and the role of Catholicism as a determined critic of modernity; religion as an impetus for innovation; and the tendency to reduce religion to culture.

What is the difference between historical culture and memory culture?
Historical culture refers to the collective understanding and interpretation of historical events, traditions, and customs within a society. It encompasses the tangible and intangible aspects of a society's past, including artifacts, monuments, and rituals. Memory culture, on the other hand, focuses on the ways in which a society actively engages with and remembers its history. It involves the processes of commemoration, memorialization, and the transmission of historical knowledge through storytelling, education, and public discourse. While historical culture is the broader framework of a society's historical identity, memory culture is the active, dynamic practice of remembering and interpreting that history.

Does globalization destroy culture?
Globalization can have both positive and negative impacts on culture. On one hand, it can lead to the spread of ideas, values, and traditions across borders, promoting cultural exchange and understanding. However, it can also result in the homogenization of cultures, as Western ideals and consumerism become dominant, potentially eroding local traditions and identities. Ultimately, the impact of globalization on culture depends on how it is managed and whether efforts are made to preserve and celebrate diverse cultural expressions.
