Resumen
Western design (the only one) projects its own assumptions over the ways in which people that live in their own traditions and customs, spiritualize, dispose, prefigure and materialize things. Under the pretext of co-design with them, more and more adjectives are added to the word design, and because of that an enormous, untranslatable, and immeasurable plurality, vanishes or goes unnoticed. To avoid that, I propose to stop seeing in everything that others do variations of design and begin to see design as variations of what others do. Departing from different ideas about the south, as what is denied, despised, discriminated or ignored by Modernity, I take a trip along the way of some provocations as the designs of the south, designs-others, and designs with other names, until reach what I ultimately call Dessobons (DEsigns of the South, of the Souths, Others, by Other NameS), as a way to approach other stories with a transitory and non-invasive name. From there, I try to answer if it is possible for us to remember other futures? or can we anticipate other pasts? Then I elaborate on the frontier between archaeology and design, and about declassified and decolonial possibilities of delinking, archaeology from past to design futures, and design from future to archaeologize pasts. Afterwards, I use the archaeodesign, proposed by Professor Fernando Álvarez, to name an in-between field of knowledge and inquiry in two ways: first, “the design of archaeology”, to question the way archaeology has been designed (as a device to capture pasts) and to confront the orthodoxy that privileges few explanations and material configurations while denying many more. And second, “The archaeology of design”, as a perpetual questioning of the materializing historical project of modernity (Eurocentric, racist, patriarchal, etc.) that turns design into a device for capturing everyone's futures. In the end I open myself to the possibility of recognizing, on the ideas of Professor Tomas Mercier, an exorbitant, non-ontological heterogeneity beyond pluralism, through which infinity of human groups do things where the term design has no power nor meaning. So much has been designed where design never was.
