Paper Abstract:
|
The dissemination of Design as a tool for social innovation poses some challenges for professionals and researchers in this field in Brazil. As part of Applied Social Sciences, professional activity follows two directions: from the problem towards the solution and contrariwise. By recognizing, in the configuration of the problem-solution pair, the social actors involved and the capabilities and competencies of Design in them, professionals and researchers in this field are confronted with the challenge of an ever-existing asymmetry that now plays a different role: being the basis for social innovations. The role of Design ranges between its positions as an instrument of innovation and as an element in the field of action which integrates and contextualizes social innovation. A clear setting of boundaries in this field, taking into consideration its own level of subjectivity, is a discussion item in the conception of the autonomous knowledge network in Design. |
