Re-mediation – a Potentially Useful New Concept for Design Research
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper presents that it would be useful for Design Research to be able to discuss about artifacts at a more general and abstract level than the concrete artifacts themselves and suggests that the concepts of mediation and re-mediation might serve such purpose. Based on Krippendorff it is suggested that any artifact carries at least three mediated relationships at the same time, and this is illustrated with an example. The existence and nature of the three relationships is then grounded and explained by the means of cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT). In conclusions the usefulness of the defined concepts of mediation and re-mediatiion is further discussed.

This part also brings an initial approach towards philosophy of spirituality by focusing on the role of breath within the very concept of mesocosm. In the second part, based on our preliminary analysis, we present an o...
متن کاملClassification Schemes for Collection Mediation: Work Centered Design and Cognitive Work Analysis
Work domain analysis and work centered design is a new approach to design of classification schemes. Classification schemes are symbolic artefacts that inscribe and mediate concepts and structures of domain semantics. In collection mediation, classification schemes are used to search and keep order in paper-based, electronic and digital collections. Research indicates that work centered design ...

متن کاملCase study: Redesigning a Kansei Engineering Designed Scissors by User Centered Design Approach
This paper is based on the research which was conducted earlier on Kansei Engineering (KE) and resulted in a new concept for scissors to redesign it with another method called “User Centered Design” (UCD). This is a shift from translation of the consumers’ psychological feeling about a product related to their perception of the design (KE) to focus on designing for and involving users in the de...
