Na stopě designu: K archeologické metodě: Doprovodná publikace k výstavě
Archeologie designu.
This is an annotated portfolio exploring archaeography - where the performance of photowork meets an archaeological sensibility.
Photography arrests presence; archaeology, like memory, works with what remains. Archaeography combines these acts - arranging viewer, viewed, and instrument to witness what lingers. Archaeography is not about illustrating the past, but about mediating and revealing the temporal textures of the present - picturing marks of temporality through things, places, and memory.

Creative Pragmatics is an invitation to redesign STEM higher education. It shows the way to active learning in diverse scenarios and provides educators, leaders and policymakers with a visionary approach to active learning and hands-on examples of how education can help students navigate complexity and unpredictability—the challenges of contemporary society.
Featuring contributions from a diverse array of scholars and practitioners, this book explores:
· Creative learning strategies
· Dynamic teacher-student interactions
· Innovative assessment methods
· The design of engaging learning environments
Integrating science education with perspectives from pragmatism, science and technology studies, the humanities, art and design, this book presents a framework for understanding knowledge as an evolving, performative process. Through insightful case studies, the book emphasises agency and creativity as essential elements of learning, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and flexible problem-solving.
Literally the “science of old things,” archaeology does not discover the past as it was but works with what remains. Such work involves the mediation of past and present, of people and their cultural fabric, for things cannot be separated from society. Things are us, just as we are part of the world of things that we may seek to understand.
This book ranges through debates in science studies, including actor network theory and object oriented ontology, process-relational philosophy, material culture and design studies, and offers case studies from prehistoric, classical and historical archaeology.
