本期《设计与文化》特刊（SI）是多年来多次对话的结果，由一系列亚太设计与社会创新国际研讨会（DESIAP）推动，该研讨会由编辑（Yoko Akama和Joyce Yee）于2015年在新加坡、2016年在曼谷和2017年在马来西亚共同主办。我们对亚太地区正在进行的“设计”和“社会创新”项目感到好奇，并希望为那些与当地社区一起应对系统性和复杂挑战的人创造一个能力建设和知识共享的平台。研讨会和研讨会由我们各自的大学（RMIT和Northumbria）的内部拨款和英国艺术与人文研究委员会网络资助，以及主办机构的慷慨支持。这些活动聚集了澳大利亚、柬埔寨、中国、日本、香港、印度尼西亚、老挝人民民主共和国、马来西亚、缅甸、韩国、新加坡、台湾、泰国和菲律宾的学者和实践者发起变革。2016年在曼谷举行的DESIAP活动还汇集了来自欧洲、英国和美国的领先设计和社会变革研究人员，他们的工作以反思性、女权主义和参与性实践为指导。英国作者安·莱特（Ann Light）和蕾切尔·克拉克（Rachel Clarke）通过与他们的工作和专业领域的对话，在制定SI方面发挥了核心作用。DESIAP的参与者分享了遗产、教养和跨文化经历的多样性，这些都为他们目前的实践提供了信息。从这些讨论中，我们了解到异质的设计实践一直以其他名义活跃，不断地由各种文化、关系、材料、历史、哲学和世界观的混合构成，从而与特定的地方和情况相关。本次SI的主题，拥抱多元性，是继续探索我们所关注的问题的一种方式，最初是在香港的一个设计会议上提出的（Akama和Yee Citation 2016, 2），当欧洲工业和现代主义根源的设计在社会创新设计领域占据主导地位时，国际设计研究界必须小心（例如Brown和Wyatt Citation 2010； Manzini Citation 2015; Murray, Caulier-Grice, and Mulgan Citation 2010）。我们还认为，这一领域“需要努力和承诺来锐化思维，以拥抱差异并容纳异质性作为其核心条件”（Akama和Yee Citation 2016,2）。经济学家和政治记者观察到，亚太地区正在崛起为全球领导者，预计将超过欧洲和美国的经济，我们的政治发展是对这一观察的回应。因此，随着设计——一个已经以欧美为中心的领域、理论和实践（Escobar Citation 2017, Citation 2018）——已经显示出自己伴随着并加速了这种经济增长，我们开始关注它如何不经意地用主导的设计范式取代该地区的地方、文化和异质实践，最终复制和巩固殖民模式（Akama和Yee Citation 2016）。
This Special Issue (SI) for Design and Culture is an outcome of many conversations over several years, catalyzed by a series of international symposia on Design and Social Innovation in Asia-Pacific (DESIAP), which the editors (Yoko Akama and Joyce Yee) co-facilitated in Singapore in 2015, Bangkok in 2016, and Malaysia in 2017. The symposia series initially began with our mutual curiosity about what kinds of “design” and “social innovation” projects are undertaken in the Asia-Pacific region and by whom, and a desire to create a platform for capacity-building and knowledge-sharing among those tackling systemic and complex challenges with their local communities. The symposia and workshops were funded by our respective universities’(RMIT and Northumbria) internal grants and Arts and Humanities Research Council UK network funding, together with generous local support by hosting organizations. 1 These events gathered together academics and practitioners initiating change in Australia, Cambodia, China, Japan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and the Philippines. The DESIAP event in Bangkok in 2016 also brought together leading design and social change researchers from Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States, whose work is guided by reflexive, feminist, and participatory practices.The UK authors included here, Ann Light and Rachel Clarke, were central in formulating this SI through dialog with their work and areas of expertise. DESIAP participants share diversity in heritage, upbringing, and intercultural experiences that informed their current practices. From these discussions, we have learned that heterogeneous design practices have always been active under other names, continually constituted by various blends of cultures, relationships, materials, histories, philosophies, and world views to become relevant to certain localities and situations. The theme of this SI, embracing plurality, is one way to continue exploring our concern, initially presented at a design conference in Hong Kong 2 (Akama and Yee Citation 2016, 2), that the international design research community must be careful when design from industrial and modernist roots in Europe becomes dominant in the field of Design for Social Innovation (eg Brown and Wyatt Citation 2010; Manzini Citation 2015; Murray, Caulier-Grice, and Mulgan Citation 2010). We also argue that this field is “in need of effort and commitment to sharpen thinking to embrace difference and accommodate heterogeneity as its central condition”(Akama and Yee Citation 2016, 2). Our politics develop in response to the observation by economists and political journalists that the Asia-Pacific region is emerging as a global leader, projected to outpace economies in Europe and the US. So, as design–a field, theory, and practice that is already Euro–US centric (Escobar Citation 2017, Citation 2018)–has shown itself to accompany and accelerate this economic growth, we have become concerned with how it might inadvertently replace local, cultural, and heterogeneous practices in this region with dominant paradigms of design, ultimately replicating and entrenching colonial patterns (Akama and Yee Citation 2016).
