This “dialog” features an edited conversation with sociologists Scott Lash and Celia Lury. It explores their recent thinking in relation to political economy, critical theory, design and branding. Primarily, it opens up a discussion regarding the role of design objects, value and relationality. This perceives them not as fixed things fulfilling finite use-values, but as objects that are located within flows of meaning and capital. These have movement, not just in terms of their circulation, but also in the way they are not always temporally fixed. This is apparent in their relationship to other objects but also to the systems of financialization within which they are engaged. By continuation, design becomes a “meta” activity where the structures of meaning production are fashioned as much as the objects that circulate within them. Within this analysis, the “user” may be understood to involve a multiplicity of individual and collective forms
