The 33rd Design Fundamentals Seminar: Design as early romanticism: Frantz Schubert’s Project
If an irrepressible impulse toward “somewhere else” was a requirement of Romanticism, then in the early 19th century that impulse had yet to be tainted by the colors of nation or ethnicity. Here lies a source of light, pure and intense, reflecting in myriad ways toward later generations. What did Schubert (1797-1828) propose (Projekt/Entwurf) to us?—With insights from psychoanalysis, care theory, and feminism, we wish to examine this question.
