디자인의 정치 : ‘감각 변용’으로서의 디자인

This study contemplates the perspective of Jacques Ranciere to judge the political possibility of design. Ranciere argued the political issue under its close association with aesthetics so that it offers the available route for the art or the design to access. In addition, for Ranciere, politics are presented not in an agreed form but in that of ‘dissensus’ with disparate sentiments, where the controversial situation of disparate languages acts as possibility to overthrow the existing order.Furthermore, it presents several cases of design implying political potential; first, the case that the identical objects suggest cultural difference by topological positioning(Super Normal). Second, the case that turning the given, unique ‘functionality’ of object into ‘usability’ causes difference(Disobedient Objects). All of these cases make design arouse its political possibility by new sentimental division upon it in the scope of everyday life. Following all the discussions above, this study makes an attempt to arouse a discourse on its political possibility. This discussion has a noticeable significance in terms of its trial to estimate new possibility of the existing design.
