Staging negotiation spaces as a means for co-designing an insulin service system in India
No full textThis chapter seeks to investigate potential navigational moves of designers through a specific case study of making insulin available to people at the BoP in India and views staging as a central aspect in negotiating concerns in collaborative design projects in general. Staging is the act of building network relations by orchestrating spaces for negotiation (Pedersen 2020) and refers to a process of (a) framing an envisaged performance in a scenic space based on an interpretation of the initial ‘design brief’ of a project; and (b) producing props that inscribe this framing into potential intermediary objects that mediates between actors and allow for discussions and negotiations of controversies. Further navigational moves include (c) circulating these objects amongst diverse actors to facilitate negotiations; and (d) reframing the design brief to stage yet another performance with new actors and props
Circulating objects between frontstage and backstage:Collectively identifying concerns and framing solution spaces
No full textIn this chapter we use a conceptual framework of frontstage and backstage and intermediary objects to investigate how problems (matters of concerns) and solutions are negotiated through an iterative process of producing and inscribing objects backstage and circulating these objects frontstage. This is done by exploring the navigational moves of a team of five third-semester bachelor's design engineering students who sought to improve quality of life for elderly residents with dementia in a nursing home by engaging in a co-design process to develop a new sensory stimulation technology. During this analysis we identify a new type of ‘fluid’ intermediary object that continuously evolves during the design process as new concerns emerge and which thus also frames the solution that is to be designed.<br/
Staging:from theory to action
No full textThis chapter reviews the different origins and theoretical foundations of collaborative staging of design and innovation. It outlines staging as a sensitizing concept and a repertoire of ways to configure and facilitate interactions across actors and objects that is illustrated in different ways throughout this volume. With a starting point in participatory design, shaping of technology and theory of organizing the chapter draws up a metaphorically inspired picture of how to understand the staging of design and innovation, the vocabulary and the process. The key concepts and understandings of staging include the development and circulation of objects to translate knowledge and frame negotiations as well as the shaping of discursive spaces to inform a repertoire of approaches of how to make staging actionable for diverse professions.<br/
Sustainable gift-exchange
No full textThis thesis is a sustainable design project targeting a narrow segment of sustainable consumption, gifts. The project is taking a focus point in the practice of gift-exchange, within gift-consumption takes place and is determined by.The project integrates collaborative design, including the Staging negotiation spaces framework by Pedersen (2020) and generative design research (E. Sanders & Stappers, 2013), as well as implements social practice theory (Shove, Pantzar and Watson, 2012). Building upon the theoretical and methodological framework, as well as the literature review, during the thesis 10 semi-structured interviews and 5 generative design workshops have been carried out, where for the latter the scope has been narrowed to second-hand gifts.Findings from the empirical research have been translated to a final concept, which is a boardgame for families. The game facilitates conversations around second-hand gifts and implements strategies for changing the practice of gift-exchange, and thereby aiming to contribute to a sustainable development in gift-consumption
Når steder får en stil:forhandlinger af identitet, stil og tilhør
No full textDanmark er et land præget af en høj grad af urbanisering og korte geografiske afstande. Men alligevel er der store forskelle på, hvordan de unge oplever deres muligheder og råderum og hvordan de navigerer i disse muligheder. I dette kapitel undersøger vi, hvordan unge i fire geografiske lokationer i Danmark identificerer sig med og distancerer sig fra forskellige ungdomskulturelle stiludtryk. Kapitlet tager afsæt i en teoretisk ramme, der fokuserer på smag, distinktion og stedstilhør, og som anvendes til at analysere et datamateriale baseret på fokusgruppeinterviews med unge, der enten går i gymnasiet, er i gang med en erhvervsuddannelse eller er uden for uddannelsessystemet. På denne baggrund undersøges det, hvordan sted og stil kobles sammen i den måde, hvorpå de unge tillægger mening til forskellige stiludtryk. Vi undersøger således ikke alene de unges måder at forholde sig til forskellige stil-udtryk som æstetik. Vi ser også på, hvordan stiludtryk er geografisk differentierede og dermed hænger sammen med de unges forståelse af det sted de bor, samt den modsatrettede proces, dvs. hvordan det sted, de bor og har et tilhørsforhold til, også er knyttet til bestemte stiludtryk. <br/
