Abstract
In the 1990s, Douglas Coupland reworked the term Generation X, Originally coined back in 1964 by Jane Deverson to describe British youth, and applied it to a new 'invisible' generation that grew up in the years of deindustrialization and recession. They were afflicted with a sort of punk nihilism, having lost the hope for the future that their parents had shown. From X we then moved on to Y, almost as if we wanted to use up all possible mathematical variables in the derivative generational configurations. If we move this sociological thinking into our field of interest, is it possible to map out a reserch scenario for a design generation, the D_Generation?I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
