商品描述
Description:
The network economy presents itself in the transactions of electronic commerce, finance, business, and communications. The network economy is also a social condition of discontinuity, indefinite limits, and in-between spaces. In Cornucopia Limited, Richard Coyne uses the liminality of design -- its uneasy position between creativity and commerce -- to explore the network economy. He argues that design, with its open-ended and transgressive explorations, provides a new way to think about the world of commerce; design’s inter-territorial precinct, its in-between condition, offers a way to frame the problems of the Internet economy -- for profit vs. for free, private vs. public, security vs. open access, defense vs. permeability.
Design, says Coyne, has a natural affinity with the edge condition and the position between polar opposites. Edgy design starts with an idea, brings to mind its opposite, and then works with what emerges from the friction between the two. The designer of a Web portal, for example, might take on the problem of security by focusing on the limits of permeability. Design is edgy, and risky, argues Coyne, in the same way that breaches in network security are risky. In Cornucopia Limited he examines the threshold between conditions exemplified by the boundary between design and commerce. Coyne uses five metaphors of design to develop his argument: the household (in economics, historically opposed to the market), with its relationship to the street mediated by various portals; the machine, rampant and glitchy; the game, competitive but simulated; the gift, precursor to commerce; and the threshold. The threshold condition, Coyne says, is the site of edgy design and a portal into the new. The threshold, he argues, provides the most potent metaphor for understanding the liminal dwellers of the network economy.
Richard Coyne is Professor and Chair of Architectural Computing, University of Edinburgh.

描述：
網路經濟體現在電子商務、金融、商業和通訊的交易中。網路經濟也是一種社會狀態，具有不連續性、不確定的界限和中間空間。在《Cornucopia Limited》中，Richard Coyne利用設計的邊緣性——它在創意與商業之間的微妙位置——來探索網路經濟。他主張，設計以其開放式和越界的探索，提供了一種新的思考商業世界的方式；設計的跨領域區域、其中間狀態，提供了一種框架來解決網路經濟的問題——為了利潤 vs. 免費、私人 vs. 公共、安全 vs. 開放存取、防禦 vs. 滲透。
Coyne表示，設計與邊緣狀態和極端對立之間的位置有著自然的親和力。前衛設計始於一個想法，喚起其對立面，然後處理兩者之間摩擦所產生的結果。例如，網頁入口網站的設計者可能會通過專注於滲透性的界限來解決安全問題。Coyne主張，設計是前衛的，並且具有風險，正如網路安全漏洞的風險。在《Cornucopia Limited》中，他檢視了設計與商業之間的邊界所體現的條件閾值。Coyne使用五個設計隱喻來發展他的論點：家庭（在經濟學中，歷史上與市場對立），其與街道的關係透過各種入口網站進行調解；機器，肆虐且故障頻繁；遊戲，競爭但模擬；禮物，商業的前身；以及閾值。Coyne表示，閾值狀態是前衛設計的場所，也是通往新事物的入口。閾值，他主張，提供了理解網路經濟中邊緣居住者的最有力隱喻。
Richard Coyne是愛丁堡大學建築計算學的教授及系主任。
