dc.description.abstract | The article proceeds from the premise that people are socialized into a man-made world shaped by people, which always already possesses a material dimension. It focuses on material culture and the world of things with which we are intricately bound in our everyday lives. The thesis posits that in our handling of things, we have incorporated implicit knowledge of our practices that in the context of design research should be made explicit. Only when we engage with things more intensively does their complexity emerge. Things have conditions for existence, material qualities, functions, and meanings that are ascribed to them, which change and are culturally variable. They are enmeshed with human identities and interactions. To investigate material culture ethnographically requires artificially estranging oneself from it – for instance by using participatory research methods. | |
dc.description.abstract | El artículo parte de la premisa de que las personas se socializan en un mundo creado por el hombre formado por personas, que siempre posee una dimensión material. Se centra en la cultura material y el mundo de las cosas con las que estamos intrincadamente vinculados en nuestra vida cotidiana. La tesis plantea que, en nuestro manejo de las cosas, hemos incorporado un conocimiento implícito de nuestras prácticas que en el contexto de la investigación de diseño debe hacerse explícito. Solo cuando nos involucramos con las cosas con mayor intensidad emerge su complejidad. Las cosas tienen condiciones de existencia, cualidades materiales, funciones y significados que se les atribuyen, que cambian y son culturalmente variables. Están enredados con identidades e interacciones humanas. Investigar la cultura material etnográficamente requiere distanciarse artificialmente de ella, por ejemplo, utilizando métodos de investigación participativa. | |
