I'd like to toss out a sentence for list members' comments: "[D]esign methodologies such as value-based design, reflective design, and critical design emphasize the value of explicitly questioning the underlying values, habits, and assumptions that drive both users and designers."
(the sentence comes from an as-yet-unpublished paper, not written by me, so I can't give a formal source, sorry.) In thinking about this assertion I find myself wondering how one constructs and values usability within a practice that foregrounds explicit questioning and presumably induces some kind of discomfort due to that questioning. I'd appreciate hearing others' thoughts about this. -- --Alan Wexelblat ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
