Designerzy. Rola zawodowa projektanta w oglądzie socjologicznym
Paulina Rojek-Adamek
O ile nie sposób podać uniwersalnej definicji designu, o tyle codzienna praktyka osób zajmujących się projektowaniem poddaje się różnym opisom tożsamościowym. Trudno jednak wskazać obiektywne kryteria, które pozwoliłyby na przykład na dystynkcję określeń ,,designer" i ,,projektant" czy na opisanie warunków niezbędnych, by ten zawód wykonywać (co czyni designera/projektanta - jaki typ przygotowania, doświadczenia, wykształcenia?). Kłopotliwe jest też pytanie o cel i zakres czynności zawodowych (czy to projektowanie form przemysłowych, czy także projektowanie usług? Czy również design doświadczeń?). Zagadnienia te pociągają za sobą kolejne - dotyczące postrzegania projektantów w ramach szerszej struktury społecznej, a więc odnoszące się do kwestii uznania i prestiżu. Jeśli niemal wszystko można nazwać dziś designem i niemal każdego designerem, to oba te określenia właściwie nic nie znaczą. Świetnie więc, że Paulina Rojek-Adamek zajęła się zbieraniem argumentów, które przemawiają za szerokim (bądź przeciwnie - za bardziej restrykcyjnym) rozumieniem designu. (...) Dobrze, że jej rozważania na temat designu i tego, jaka jest (jaka powinna być) dziś rola projektanta nie są zawieszone w próżni. Z jednej strony nawiązują one do coraz bogatszej literatury autorów identyfikujących się z socjologią designu, z drugiej - wypływają z rezultatów zrealizowanego przez Autorkę projektu badawczego. prof. dr hab. Rafał Drozdowski Książka ta jest na pewno pracą erudycyjną, w której uwzględnione zostały zarówno podejścia klasycznej socjologii, jak i współczesnych autorów. (...) Polskiemu czytelnikowi jak dotąd nie zaoferowano wielu prac podejmujących tę problematykę, tymczasem zarówno estetyka, jak i - w węższym ujęciu - praca projektowa są dzisiaj uznawane za kwestię centralną dla rozważań związanych z nową ekonomią, studiami miejskimi, ,,zwrotem ku rzeczom" czy sztuką publiczną. dr hab. Małgorzata Jacyno Paulina Rojek-Adamek, doktor socjologii. W swojej pracy naukowo-badawczej i licznych publikacjach zajmuje się tematyką designu, szczególnie aspektem społecznie odpowiedzialnego projektowania i rolą zawodową projektantów. Publikowała m.in. w czasopismach ,,Polish Sociological Review", ,,Kultura Popularna", ,,Humanizacja Pracy". Współredaktorka tomu Drafts from Sociology of Design. Introduction to Discussion (2016). Adiunkt w Instytucie Filozofii i Socjologii Uniwersytetu Pedagogicznego w Krakowie, od kilkunastu lat współpracuje również z Akademią Sztuk Pięknych w Katowicach.

Firewalls are used to protect your network from the outside world. Using a Linux firewall, you can do a lot more than just filtering packets. This book shows you how to implement Linux firewalls and Quality of Service using practical examples from very small to very large networks.After giving us a background of network security, the book moves on to explain the basic technologies we will work with, namely netfilter, iproute2, NAT and l7-filter. These form the crux of building Linux firewalls and QOS. The later part of the book covers 5 real-world networks for which we design the security policies, build the firewall, setup the script, and verify our installation.Providing only necessary theoretical background, the book takes a practical approach, presenting case studies and plenty of illustrative examples.
