Configuring User-Designer Relations : Interdisciplinary Perspectives Hardback
Edited by Alex Voss, Mark Hartswood, Rob Procter, Mark Rouncefield, Roger Slack, Monika Buscher
Part of the Computer Supported Cooperative Work series
Hardback
Description
‘User-designer relations’ concerns the sorts of working relationships that arise between developers and end users of IT products - the different ways designers of IT products seek to engage with users, and the ways users seek to influence product design.
It is through the shifting patterns of these relations that IT products are realised.
Although it has generally been accepted that achieving better user-designer relations will improve the quality of IT products, there has been little consensus on how this might be achieved.
This book aims to deepen our understanding of the relationships between users and designers both as they emerge in the wild and as a consequence of our attempts to intervene.
Through a series of case studies the book juxtaposes in-depth explorations of different perspectives and approaches to thinking about - and doing - user-designer relations, considering important implications for design and computer science more generally.
