Linda Rampell

Linda Rampell, born 5 December 1971, in Stockholm, Sweden, is a Swedish design theorist, critic, lecturer and author.[1][2] She holds a PhD at Lund University. In her PhD thesis she deconstructs the modernist discourse of nationalist design in Sweden.[3][4] In her postdoctoral research project Homo Capitalistes, she concludes that "the only ism after postmodernism is consumerism", and that the postmodern condition has become a shopmodern condition, in which aesthetics and economics have merged into aesthetonomics, which defines an economy of seeing evaluating how much a being is worth.[5][6] Rampell is a member of International Association of Art Critics (AICA) and has written articles, essays and books on the subject design theory.[7][8]
