Title: | Work, labour and action: the role of participatory design in (re)activating the political dimension of work | Authors: | HUYBRECHTS, Liesbeth Tassinari, Virginia ROOSEN, Barbara CONSTANTINESCU, Teodora |
Issue Date: | 2018 | Publisher: | Association for Computing Machinery | Source: | PDC '18: Proceedings of the 15th Participatory Design Conference: Full Papers, Association for Computing Machinery, p. 1 -11 (Art N° 1) | Series/Report no.: | 1 | Abstract: | This article discusses the difficult task of Participatory Design (PD) to design for/with the political dimension of work, such as the work environments' care for inclusion of different groups. It first describes PD's role through time in giving form to this political dimension after the crisis of Fordism and detects some challenges PD is confronted with in addressing this task today. It then explores how Hannah Arendt's reflections on the political dimension of work can contribute to addressing these challenges, researching how her definitions of 'work', 'labour', 'action', 'agorà', 'heroes' and 'interests' can be used as steering concepts that support the (re)activation of this political dimension. We describe how we used Arendt's concepts to steer a PD case in urban design with a group of architects, companies and citizens on how to reintegrate work into the city space of Antwerp. This paper ends with a discussion on the implications of using Arendt's concepts in PD for work. | Other: | PDC '18: Proceedings of the 15th Participatory Design Conference: Full Papers - Volume 1 | Keywords: | participation;politics;work;participatory design | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/31071 | ISBN: | 978-1-4503-6371-6 | DOI: | 10.1145/3210586.3210599 | ISI #: | 000546053000001 | Category: | C1 | Type: | Proceedings Paper | Validations: | ecoom 2022 |
