The article presents a reflection on the subject of the post-anthropocentric research methods in design on the example of two case studies: objects personas generation and multispecies design fiction. Indicating the contemporary context of climate disaster as a real design challenge as well as a metaphor, critical fabulation of our times, the author drives attention to the necessity of establishing a new relationship between academic research and design integrating the in-depth context analysis, experimental methodology and creativity of research.
