Discourse This! Designers and Alternative Critical Writing
Throughout the history of design critical writing, scholars and critics have employed standard rhetorical strategies of exposition to ground their critical discourse. This essay focuses on a different group of design writers I call “designwrights.” These writers use the rhetorical position of fiction to capture facets of the design world not readily expressed in expository prose. The essay examines some historical origins and contemporary work by designwrights such as William Morris, W.A. Dwiggins, Putch Tu and Bruce Sterling—writers who invent personae and neologisms, who craft manifestoes or satire, and who have expanded the possibilities for the form and delivery of critical design writing.
