The course is organized around the four transversal forums of the study cycle: Geographies and Food, Climates and Cultures, Communities and Publishing, Archives and Futures. As a basic discipline geared towards the materialization of transformative and reality-projecting actions, it is a laboratory that allows the margins of the possible to be widened through and beyond the disciplinary field of design. Students will find the possibility of experimentation, challenging their own projects and interests within the discipline, and demanding ambitious alternatives 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. Publishing is a technologically mediated space for encounter and debate. Publishing can be seen as a way of involving different actors. To sharpen your publishing skills, it's important to be aware of the possibilities, limitations and points that exist in the publishing ecosystem: from automated workflows (AI) to algorithmic curation, from paywalls to shadow libraries. The political character of publishing can be informed by the practices of artists and designers who probe the futures of the publishable. Today, design research doesn't just take place within traditional media or academia (e.g. the article), but occurs through a growing variety of forms, contexts and formats ranging, for example, from exhibition to installation and performance.

Objectives
Objectives
Deepen capacities to design, protect, restore communication/publication ecosystems with less impact on social, natural, undesirable effects, focusing on making: "things public", "public", "navigation of publics and counter-publics"Advocating paths that recognize the advantages/sustainability of what is local without undermining the virtues of connections to the global networkDesigning aiming at variable time horizons, different scales, always adjusted to the publication structures that are intended to be publishedEstablishing links with existing (infra)structures in order to make the transition phases more comprehensive, with fewer side effects. Develop in-depth techniques for building and creating dialogue for a political understanding of the publishing processIdentify and promote a mentality and attitude of designers as an essential component of design processes, considering it an asset in the recovery and distribution of resources.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
The teaching methodologies involve a combinatorial strategy of theoretical analysis, but with a strong practical component, through projects dealing with software and content dissemination platforms. These practical projects in workshop format allow students to concretely test and rethink their strategies for provocations and transitions through publishing. Assessment revolves around the student's understanding of the audience they intend to reach or build, as well as the technical and social strategies for doing so. Through a process of interaction, students evaluate the results, adopting the principle of project development with an emphasis on multidisciplinarity and multiple platforms, in order to encourage truly collaborative relationship efforts in their publications.
