    This issue results from the international conference Encontro de Tipografia 13: Other Typographic Worlds, which took place at Lusófona University in Lisbon from November 23rd to 25th, 2023. During the event, there were lively and extensive discussions about ‘Other Typographic Worlds’ and what they can be, focusing not only on graphic/ artistic practices that potentiate an expansion of typography as a discipline but also on the socio-political implications of type, particularly around issues of under, mis, and overrepresentation.

    Fashion otherwise
    (Lusofona University, 2024-06-21) Williams, Dilys; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies; CICANT - Centre for Research in Applied Communication, Culture, and New Technologies
    How can we understand ourselves when everything is moving, all the time? As we hurtle through the 2020s, the earth spinning on its axis at a calculation of 460 metres a second, we wrestle with the super-complexity of ecological, technological, political, social, and economic entanglements. With our multiple frames of understanding in a more than human and unknowable world, this can be exciting and daunting. How we perceive, imagine, know, and interact in the world, involves a sense-making through an unravelling and embracing of ideas and contexts. We are in a state of profound epistemological and ontological crisis described by Bateson (1972), Guattari (2014), Harraway (2016), Escobar (2017) and Akómoléfé (2013) with symptoms and signs of the self-harm that parts of humanity are inflicting on humanity itself and on all life forms. Fashion demonstrates this self-harm in arresting and imbalanced ways, the fashion consumption carbon footprint target for 2030 is exceeded in 14 of the G20 countries. On average, the fashion emissions per capita of the richest 20% were 20 times higher than the emissions of the poorest 20%. This ratio varies substantially across countries, consistent with levels of income inequality (Luca Coscieme et al., 2022). Fashion's habits of self-harm have become normalised. Letting go of bad habits is difficult but might be humanity's greatest demonstration of commitment to life and the ability to imagine otherwise, beyond the dominant current status quo and received wisdom. Humans are a social species, without a togetherness, with other humans and other forms of live, we can't exist. Our being is relational; as individuals, species, and societies, we are embedded in the cyclical processes of nature. This lies at the heart of our ability to thrive. Keywords: Interdependence, fashion design, participation, plurality, otherwise.

    Inclusivity in fashion design and social sustainability finally fashion project
    (Lusofona University, 2024-06-21) Cruchinho, Alexandra; REIS, BENILDE MENDES DOS; Neves, José Carlos; SANCHEZ, JOSÉ LUÍS GONÇALVES; Vaz, Sara Elisabete Pinho; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies; CICANT - Centre for Research in Applied Communication, Culture, and New Technologies
    Finally Fashion is the concept that led us to carry out exploratory research, in a classroom context, to answer questions posed by creating new products. The questions reveal, as a starting point, a need for fashion design to intervene. Finally Fashion stands for Finally Fashion and represents an ongoing search by a group of three wheelchair users with reduced mobility to find new products that are not unlike those usually found on the market and that follow trends. This social sustainability project seeks to include groups that, given their characteristics, are often on the margins of society in general. The challenge was set by a group of Fashion Design and Production students from Lusófona University, who sought to adapt garments already on the market to the needs of this type of consumer. In the first phase, the results were very satisfactory, and some of the questions raised regarding the project were resolved. However, they are still being studied for realising and testing prototypes later. The ideas proposed by the students were presented to the group (client), and essential input was received from the user to improve the proposals in the prototype realisation phase. The students showed a very high level of interest in realising the project, which made it possible to show the broader scope and relevance of fashion design to the community from a perspective of inclusivity and social sustainability.

    Steno? Graphy!
    (Lusofona University, 2024-12-30) Fernandes, Beatriz Martins; Morgado, Aprígio Moreira; Gomes, António Silveira; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
    Considering the scarcity of information and the lack of knowledge regarding stenography -very rarely used or called upon nowadays, both in daily and academic contexts - and given the decreasing number of people who hold this specific knowledge, it becomes increasingly urgent the creation of a relevant archaeological and bibliographic Iberian archive of this almost extinct writing form. This text arose in the context of a master's degree aiming to study the universe of stenography and its relevance (if any) in contemporary contexts and technologies. To accomplish this, it was crucial to have access to reliable information regarding this writing form. This objective was pursued through a non-interventionist qualitative methodology that included methods such as bibliographic research, literature review and critique, interviews with experts in the field (namely stenographers, teachers, students) and in-depth case studies. In this paper, we present the groundwork that enabled us to gather information about Portuguese shorthand which was of crucial importance to the development of the project. The bibliographic research revealed the existence of several Portuguese shorthand authors. Through in-depth research and a comparative study among various case studies, we observed that each shorthand system exhibited peculiarities, setting it apart from the others. This divergence was attributed to individual authors' endeavors to revolutionize the field of Portuguese shorthand, striving to establish their methods as the fastest and most effective. Noteworthy distinctions surfaced in areas such as the representation of the stenographic alphabet, the portrayal of numerals in text, the handling of articles, names, abbreviations, and suppressions, among other aspects. None of them provided evidence to determine the official Portuguese shorthand system. However, the interviews conducted revealed that the Martinian System was the official one. They also helped us gain insight into the teaching methods of shorthand employed in class, as well as the layouts students used to enhance writing efficiency.

    The written word in the design of learning spaces : workshop A Rede
    (Lusofona University, 2024-12-30) Belo, Marta Guerra; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies; Design I&D - Centro de Investigação em Design e Arte
    This article presents and reflects on the work developed in the Workshop A Rede of the Picnic educational project, part of the 7th Other Delli Week, an event for students of the communication design degree programme at DELLI - Design Lusófona Lisboa. This project proposed exploring the learning space as an informal and communitarian environment, transporting the school out of doors through the structure of a picnic. The workshop dealt with the design of natural space through the concepts of appropriation, protection, relationship and communication, in the relationship between the suspended fabric, the written word and poetry. The team explored the word (its construction, rhythm and meaning), typography (experimental work on letter design) and their relationship with support, material, and space, to create a poetic structure with six suspended fabrics. The article is divided into four sections: a brief overview of the Picnic educational project; a theoretical framework; a description of the activities; and finally, a reflection on the work process and results. The text is guided by visual references that frame the project and photographs collected during its preparation and final installation. This article was developed especially for the Typography Meeting 13 - Other Typographic Worlds, framed in the topics Art, Language and Typography, Text as Image and Image as Text, and Pedagogy and Methods in the Teaching of Type Design. Keywords: Pedagogies in art and design; design; space; typography; poetry
