The course is organized around four forums transversal to the programme: Geographies and Food, Climates and Cultures, Communities and Publishing, Archives and Futures. As a fundamental course aimed at materializing transformative actions and projecting alternative realities, it functions as a lab that allows students to expand the margins of the possible through and beyond the disciplinary field of design. Students will find a space of possibility and experimentation, challenging their own projects and interests within the discipline, and demanding ambitious alternatives and proposals that intersect multiple universes: cultural, economic, social, visual.

Syllabus
Syllabus
• Publishing is increasingly a political gesture: publications bridge the gap between different, even conflicting, audiences. • The publication is a technologically mediated space for meeting and debate. Editorial practice can be framed as a form of co-design involving different actors. To sharpen your ability to publish, it is important to be aware of the possibilities, limitations and blind spots that exist in the editorial ecosystem: from automated workflows (AI), to algorithmic curation, from paywalls to shadow libraries. This political understanding of publishing can be informed by the practices of artists and designers who probe the futures of the publishable. • Today, design research does not just happen within traditional media or academia (e.g. the article), but occurs across an increasing variety of forms, contexts and formats ranging from, for example, exhibition, installation and performance.

Design, protect, restore communication/publishing ecosystems that value a lower impact on undesirable social, natural effects, focusing on the act of "making things public", "making public", "the navigation of publics and counterpublics" Defend paths that recognize the possible advantages / sustainability of what is local without undermining virtues of connections to the global network Design taking into account variable time horizons, different scales, always adjusted to the publication structures that are intended to be published Establish connections with existing (infra)structures in order to make the transition stages more comprehensive, with fewer negative side effects Skillfully develop construction and dialogue creation techniques for a political understanding of the publication process Identify and promote a mentality and posture of designers as an essential component for design processes, considering their capabilities as active actors in the recovery, distribution of resources

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies involve a combinatorial strategy of theoretical analysis, but with a strong practical component, through specific exercises, projects that deal with software and content dissemination platforms. These practical projects in a workshop format allow students to concretely test and rethink their provocation strategies and transitions towards publication. The assessment revolves around the student's understanding of the audience they intend to reach or build, as well as the technical and social strategies to do so. Through a process of interaction, students evaluate the results, adopting the principle of project development, emphasizing multidisciplinary and multiplicity of platforms, with the aim of encouraging truly collaborative relationship efforts mediated by their publications.
