Abstract

The article "Deviant Design: the Ad Hoc, the Illicit, the Controversial" by Craig Martin explores the intersection of design and deviance, focusing on smuggling, counterfeiting, and illicit trade. Martin uses the concept of deviance to analyze how design boundaries are challenged and policed, shedding light on the cultural specificity of originality and intellectual property. While the book delves into intriguing examples of design practices in marginal areas, some critics argue that the scholarly discussion may be too selective and archaic, lacking depth in exploring the subject matter fully.
