Votum for cand.mag. speciale.
Specialet er skrevet ved Institut for Kunst- og Kulturvidenskab, Afdeling for
Kunsthistorie og Visuel Kultur. Afhandlingen omfatter 86 sider incl. engelsk
resumé, noter, litteraturliste, illustrationer og illustrationsliste samt C.V. for E.
Sottsass jr.
Emilie A.R. Hart inddeler sin afhandling i tre hovedafsnit. Efter sin præsenta-
tion af problemformulering og et kort metodeafsnit følger første historiske
afsnit omhandlende Ettore Sottsass Jr., hans arkitektuddannelse og en præsen-
tation af hans vidtspændende samarbejder indenfor og udenfor det etablerede
system. Dette fremstår som en karakteristik af designeren og arkitekten Sott-
sass som legende, anarkistisk eksperimentator på den ene side og utraditionel
problemløser af traditionelle funktionsopgaver på den anden side. Derpå følger
afsnittet om ’postmodernisme og postmodernistisk design’. Kandidaten gør
grundigt rede for relevante filosofiske temaer med afsæt i Platons og Gilles
Deleuzes begreber om ’original’, ’kopi’ og ’simulakrum’ og Jean Baudrillards
begreb om ’hyperrealitet’ i sin diskussion om Memphis-design og dens place-
ring. Afsnittet følges op af en ’Analyse af Ettore Sottsass’- & Memphis-
gruppens objekter’ med implementering af teorierne på designobjekterne på
SIDE 2 AF 2
tværs af møbel- og andre kategorier, hvilket fungerer fint som en overordnet
ramme for teoretiseringen af feltet.
Emilie A.R. Hart skriver særdeles flydende og velformuleret. Hun argumente-
rer godt for sine synspunkter og fastholder en fin balance mellem teori og
praksis. Vi vil især fremhæve hendes anvendelse af Michel de Certeau’s be-
greb ’la perruque’ som metafor og ækvivalent for Memphis-gruppens under-
gravende strategi og taktik i relation til både dens kritik af de konventionelle,
hierarkiske smagsdiskurser og som udtryk for deres radikale grundholdning til
design og establishment. Dog kunne man godt savne flere overvejelser om-
kring de overordnede produktionsrelaterede betingelser for Memphis’ praksis.
Her tænkes især på overgangen fra fordisme til postfordisme, der muliggør
fleksibel specialisering og produktion i små serier i en sammenkobling af
håndværk og højteknologi. Her kunne Guy Juliers pointe om, at fx Andrea
Branzis teoretiske tekster udgør en slags spirituel ideologisering af disse nye
vilkår (Julier, s. 42) have givet et yderligere perspektiv på Memphis-gruppens
anti-modernisme. Selvom en sådan diskussion er fravalgt, mener vi alt i alt at
afhandlingen har så grundlæggende kvaliteter, at det berettiger til karakteren
12 (tolv).
