To research and design with the subject of intimacy is to trouble and to ask for trouble, and by staying with the trouble of intimacy, to paraphrase Donna Haraway, I articulate and perform a way of designing not as a way out of trouble, but as a way of making trouble and staying with the trouble. I argue that by staying with the trouble, designers may learn to be “truly present” and respond to social, cultural and political issues of intimate technology. The methodology interweaves design research, feminist technoscience, critical theory and software studies into a critical-feminist design methodology. As a response to design and designing intimate technology I have engaged in Donna Haraway’s “Staying with the Trouble” (Donna J. Haraway 2016) and solutionism as a critique of technology development, as well as feminist theories on fantasies of “the good life” and gender and technology, and critical theories on the role of intimacy in digital culture. Within the field of interaction design research, this dissertation’s contribution can be divided into three parts: 1) an exploration of the role of intimate technologies in our everyday lives and ways of being, 2) a critical and feminist design methodology of staying with the trouble through design, and 3) design proposals that stay with the trouble of designing with intimacy. My design research has evolved through four design projects that interweave different intimate topics and technologies through varied design practices: 1. PeriodShare: an internet-connected menstrual cup. 2. Marcelle: a wearable sex toy reacting on wifi- activity. 3. Ingrid: a woman living with electromagnetic hypersensitivity. And 4. Intimate Futures: two digital personal assistants where one is pushing back on sexual harassment and the other is assisting with hormone level tracking. The main contribution of the dissertation is the design methodology staying with the trouble through design, which is an anti-solutionist approach to design that interweaves the situated, personal and political role of design. By responding to/with trouble, rather than designing solutions to problems, staying with the trouble through design aims to better understand the conflicts and responsibilities involved in complex social, cultural and political issues, in order to imagine and design still possible futures. The design methodology interweaves three practices that unfold the self-reflective, ethnographic and collaborative process of staying with the trouble through design. The first practice, the willful practice of Staying with the Wrong, is a continuous process of becoming a feminist designer and it includes actively learning to be present; question the given as given, stay with the feelings you wish would go away, continuously practice self-reflection on own positionality and using feminist humour when designing with taboos. The second practice, Curious Visiting, encourages the designer to go beyond their own positionality, by listening to stories of pleasure and pain and visiting ongoing pasts and alternatives nows. This challenges the designer’s notion of the present by interweaving fact and fiction, and it highlights that this practice is never innocent but involves risks. Lastly, the third practice Collective Imagining highlights how design by proposing future change can respond to and/or with trouble and how we collectively can engage with futures to rewrite collective imaginings and tell other possible stories within and across social and cultural contexts. Together, these three interwoven practices propose a way of staying with the trouble through design, as a feminist contribution to current critical approaches within interaction design. Keywords Interaction design, intimacy, intimate technology, trouble, taboo, gender, speculative design, design fiction, feminist HCI, women’s health. Resume på dansk Denne afhandling udforsker at blive med besværet gennem design (oversat fra Staying with the Trouble through Design) som en designteori om intimitet og intime teknologier. At forske og designe indenfor emnet intimitet er at besvære og at komme i besvær, og ved at blive med besværet af intimitet, for at omformulere Donna Haraway, artikulerer og performer jeg en måde at designe ikke som en vej ud af besvær, men som en måde at skabe besvær og blive med besværet. Jeg argumenterer for, at ved at blive med besværet kan designere lære at være “oprigtigt tilstedeværende” og svare på sociale, kulturelle og politiske problemstillinger om intime teknologier. Metodologien sammenfletter designforskning, feministisk teknologividenskab, kritisk teori og softwarestudier ind i en kritisk-feministisk designmetodologi. Som en reaktion på design af intime teknologier, har jeg arbejdet med Donna Haraways “Staying with the Trouble” (Donna J. Haraway 2016) og solutionisme som en kritik af teknologiudvikling, samt feministiske teorier om fantasierne om “det gode liv” og køn og teknologi, og kritiske teorier om rollen af intimitet i digital kultur. Denne afhandling har tre bidrag indenfor feltet interaktionsdesignsforskning: 1) en udforskning af rollen af intime teknologier i vores hverdagsliv og subjektivitet, 2) en kritisk og feministisk designmetodologi af at blive med besværet gennem design, og 3) designforslag som bliver med besværet af at designe med intimitet. Min designforskning har udviklet sig gennem fire designprojekter, som sammenfletter forskellige intime emner og teknologier gennem forskelligartede designpraksisser: 1. PeriodShare: en internetopkoblet menstruationskop. 2. Marcelle: et sexlegetøj, som man kan tage på, der reagerer på wifi-aktivitet. 3. Ingrid: en kvinde der lever med elektromagnetisk hypersensitivitet. Og 4. Intimate Futures: to digitale personlige assistenter, hvoraf den ene reagerer på seksuelle krænkelser og den anden assisterer med måling af hormoner. Det primære bidrag i denne afhandling er designmetodologien bliv med besværet gennem design, hvilket er en anti-løsningsorienteret tilgang til design, der sammenfletter den situerede, personlige og politiske rolle af design. Ved at besvare (med) besvær, i stedet for at designe løsninger til problemer, er formålet med at blive med besværet gennem design at blive bedre til at forstå konflikter og ansvar involveret i komplekse sociale, kulturelle og politiske problemstillinger for at forestille og designe stadig mulige fremtider. Designmetodologien sammenfletter tre praksisser, som udfolder den selvrefleksive, etnografiske og kollaborative proces afat blive med besværet gennem design. Den første praksis, den villende praksis af at blive med det forkerte, er en vedvarende proces af at blive en feministisk designer og det inkluderer aktivt at lære at være tilstedeværende; udfordre selvfølgeligheder, blive med de følelser som du ønskede ville gå over, løbende praktisere selvrefleksion over eget ståsted og bruge feministisk humor til at designe med tabuer. Den anden praksis, nysgerrigt besøge, opfordrer designeren til at gå udover deres eget ståsted ved at lytte til historier om nydelse og smerte, og besøge vedvarende fortider og alternative nutider. Dette udfordrer designerens forståelse af nutiden ved at sammenflette fakta og fiktion og det fremhæver at denne praksis aldrig er uskyldig, men involverer risikoer. Afslutningsvist fremhæver den tredje praksis, kollektivt forestille, hvordan design, ved at foreslå fremtidig forandring, kan besvare (med) besvær, og hvordan vi kollektivt kan engagere os i fremtider for at genskrive kollektive forestillinger og fortælle andre mulige historier i og på tværs af forskellige sociale og kulturelle kontekster. Tilsammen foreslår disse tre praksisser en måde at blive med besværet gennem design som et feministisk bidrag til nuværende kritiske tilgange i interaktionsdesign. Emneord Interaktionsdesign, intimitet, intime teknologier, besvær, tabu, køn, spekulativt design, designfiktion, feministisk HCI, kvindens sundhed. Tak, tack, arigato, thanks: Acknowledgements That I alone stand as an author of this dissertation, as if I alone made this work, does not seem right.

Eliana Burns Humboldt State University 2020 Department of Communications Pink Is The New Tax 1 Historically women in America have made colossal advances that have proven they are just as capable as men. Women had fought and continued to challenge the system since 1919 with the 19th Amendment giving them a right to vote. However, even with this crucial progression, womens’ oppression can be found all around us only in much more subtle ways such as “ the pink tax”. As of 2020 there are currently no federal laws to outlaw companies from charging different prices depending on which gender they are meant to be marketed to. This rhetorical analysis will first address the concept of gendered products, how the tax benefits from these products, and why gendering of products reinforce gender discrimination and stereotypes. A brief explanation as to why the tax is nicknamed “the tampon tax” is included.

Les diverses perspectives féministes sur et dans le design industriel promettent d’offrir plusieurs contributions uniques et précieuses, en surlignant des problèmes sociaux ou en lien avec la durabilité dans le domaine et en suggérant des options plus durables. Cependant, il n’y a pas beaucoup d’initiatives féministes en design industriel, donc les contributions potentielles d’une perspective féministe ne sont pas bien connues et sont minimalement explorées et exploitées. Ainsi, ce projet demande : comment le féminisme informe-t-il les théories et les pratiques du design industriel et du design durable ? Les buts sont d’identifier les critiques et les recommandations féministes envers le design industriel, d’identifier les relations entre les initiatives féministes en design industriel et le design durable, et d’identifier les connaissances que les initiatives féministes en design pourraient offrir au design durable.

    Otak-Who? Technoculture, Youth, Consumption, and Resistance

    Lawrence Eng Research Seminar Methods in STS Spring, 2002 Otak-who? Technoculture, youth, consumption, and resistance. American representations of a Japanese youth subculture. Abstract The otaku are a youth subculture first characterized in Japan, but beyond that basic definition of the term, there have been numerous, often contradictory and routinely contested, ways the otaku have been represented by various segments of Japanese society over the course of the last 2 decades. The otaku in Japan (and abroad) have attracted non- Japanese attention as well, and the otaku have been studied, mimicked, ridiculed, romanticized, etc. by Americans who have become interested in this apparently fascinating Japanese (sub)cultural export. Influenced by Japanese conceptions of otaku as obsessed fans, technological fetishists, avid collectors, antisocial outcasts, and/or borderline psychopaths, but informed by American attitudes toward geek culture, hackers, cyberpunks, individualism, and lay expertise, representations of otaku by American observers of the culture have been equally varied (and contested) over the last decade. This paper will examine the various and changing representations of otaku culture by Americans, and attempt to unpack the context behind and the implications of those representations. Drawing upon themes uncovered in this critical discourse analysis, I will suggest a new way of defining otaku as 'reluctant insiders' engaged in the appropriation of technology and science as a means of cultural resistance. I will argue that their activities are informed by a particular otaku ethic that distinguishes them from other subcultures with similar motivations. Introduction My paper is divided into three parts. In Part 1, I ask: Why do we care about otaku, and how will we study them? In Part 2, I will critically analyze the various ways otaku have been represented since they were first characterized as a subculture in the early 80s.

    ICIR 227 Approaches to Culture and Society

    ICIR 227 Approaches to Culture and Society Course Description & Aims ‘Culture’ is foundational for the human condition – it distinguishes us from other primates, and – as ‘cultural identity’ – from fellow humans in other societies. Consequently, ‘culture’ is also a perilous idea: together with history it provides a basis for nationalist ideologies and inter-group conflict. It facilitates communication and understanding by devising symbols and value systems, and at the same time it divides in- from out-group based on the very same frameworks of meaning. It can be regarded as the expression of collective identities, a set of customs and mores, values and ideas – or as a tool of domination and exploitation. What exactly is ‘culture’? And how can cultural variation be explained and assessed? This course introduces and discusses a range of foundational anthropological approaches to the study of culture and society. Students will compare different conceptualizations of ‘culture’ and develop a critical understanding of related issues, ranging from value systems and language use to the understanding of rituals, social drama and cultural identities. The course examines early paradigms in the study of social life and outlines the development of more critical approaches to the configurations of culture. Students will learn to distinguish evolutionist and diffusionist approaches to cultural variation, and discuss the merits and challenges of cultural relativism. They will compare functionalist and cultural materialist theories and contrast them with the insights of symbolist and interpretive reasoning. The relationship of methodology and epistemology in the study of culture and society are explored and students will engage with an application of anthropological theory to selected case studies.

    M796883front.qxd 8/1/05 11:15 AM Page 1 Media Ecologies Media Ecologies Materialist Energies in Art and Technoculture Matthew Fuller In Media Ecologies, Matthew Fuller asks what happens when media systems interact. Complex objects such as media systems—understood here as processes, or ele- ments in a composition as much as “things”—have become informational as much as physical, but without losing any of their fundamental materiality. Fuller looks at this multi- plicitous materiality—how it can be sensed, made use of, and how it makes other possibilities tangible. He investi- gates the ways the different qualities in media systems can be said to mix and interrelate, and, as he writes, “to produce patterns, dangers, and potentials.” Fuller draws on texts by Félix Guattari and Gilles Deleuze, as well as writings by Friedrich Nietzsche, Marshall McLuhan, Donna Haraway, Friedrich Kittler, and others, to define and extend the idea of “media ecology.” Arguing that the only way to find out about what happens new media/technology when media systems interact is to carry out such interac- tions, Fuller traces a series of media ecologies—“taking every path in a labyrinth simultaneously,” as he describes one chapter. He looks at contemporary London-based pirate radio and its interweaving of high- and low-tech “Media Ecologies offers an exciting first map of the mutational body of media systems; the “medial will to power” illustrated by analog and digital media technologies. Fuller rethinks the generation and “the camera that ate itself”; how, as seen in a range of interaction of media by connecting the ethical and aesthetic dimensions compelling interpretations of new media works, the capac- of perception.” ities and behaviors of media objects are affected when —Luciana Parisi, Leader, MA Program in Cybernetic Culture, University of they are in “abnormal” relationships with other objects; East London and each step in a sequence of Web pages, Cctv—world wide watch, that encourages viewers to report crimes seen Media Ecologies via webcams.
