Temes de Disseny is a scientific publication born from the research anxiety and vocation of Elisava. Annually since 1986 the school makes the journal available for the readers. The publication addresses from an analytical perspective a great variety of subjects related to design’s connection with fields such as culture, communication, technology or economy from an analytical perspective.

The 37th issue of Temes de Disseny – Invisible Conflicts: The New Terrain of Bodies, Infrastructures and Information– sets out to humbly explore the topic of conflict and disobedience in a networked planet. Traditionally, design offers tools and procedures to tackle known problems, analysing how new objects and processes can provide solutions. In this issue, instead, we gather research about instability, frictions, resistance, counter-practices, cultural clashes, and even material conflict.

This new issue will be published with open access, peer reviewed and indexed content. Temes de Disseny is a journal that locals and foreign designers can use to share their knowledge internationally. We call for papers (original journal articles, state-of-art reviews, design case studies or pictorials) to gather knowledge regarding the following generic topics:

- New creative strategies in practical dissent
- Invisible battlegrounds
- Information, labour, energy
- Design at a planetary-scale
- The agency of non-human actors
- Material-affective dimensions of design
