DESCRIPTION:Coyne\, R. (2004). Wicked problems revisited. Design Studies 2
 6\, 5-17.\n\nAvailable online at: http://tinyurl.com/79nns\n\nOriginal abs
 tract:\nI revisit Rittel and Webers essay on the wicked problem\, and rela
 te it to\nmore recent theories about rationality and professionalism. Perh
 aps the\nmost provocative challenge comes from Deleuze and Guattaris diffi
 cult\ncommentary on the rhizome\, which has currency within much design\ns
 tudio culture. I posit the controversial conclusion that wickedness is not
 \naberrant. It is formulations of professionalism which pay homage to the\
 nidea of formal rules\, goal setting\, and calculation as representing the
  norm\nof rationality\, that present as deviations.\n\nRubric for the read
 ing group: \nEveryone attending is expected to read the paper in advance. 
 Please bring a copy with you\, preferably annotated with interesting refle
 ctions. The format of discussion will be a brief invited introduction/crit
 ique by two members of the group\, followed by general discussion and info
 rmal mixing.
