Abstract

Feminist theory is core to posthumanist HCI and can support more-than-human designers and researchers in questioning what human is being decentered and what marginalized voices are foregrounded. In this article, I interweave feminist and posthumanist design scholarship that affirms natureculture relations through the practice and concept of fabulation. I present a research-through-design practice of producing a short film “I Moss You” that is recorded through a microscope and tells a story about mosses and menses, space travel and earthly survival. I contribute by positioning fabulation as a feminist posthumanist design approach that challenges dominant sociotechnical imaginaries of progress, involves non-humans in speculative storytelling and fosters joy in taking care of and enlivening relations with earth. I discuss how fabulation aligns with feminist values in HCI and design, including critiquing power hierarchies and dominant norms of technology, emphasizing situated knowledges in design practice, and attuning to relational becoming with ecology.

苔藓能教会我们什么是设计和女权主义，而不是人类的关怀

女权主义理论是后人文主义HCI的核心，可以支持超越人类的设计师和研究人员质疑人类正在被去中心化，哪些边缘化的声音被重视。在这篇文章中，我将女权主义和后人文主义设计学术交织在一起，通过制造的实践和概念来肯定自然与文化的关系。我展示了一个通过设计研究的实践，制作了一个短片“我苔藓你”，通过显微镜记录，讲述了一个关于苔藓和月经，太空旅行和地球生存的故事。我的贡献是将虚构作为一种女权主义的后人类主义设计方法，挑战主流的社会技术对进步的想象，让非人类参与投机的故事讲述，并在照顾和活跃与地球的关系中培养快乐。我讨论了制造如何与HCI和设计中的女权主义价值观保持一致，包括批评权力等级和技术的主导规范，强调设计实践中的情境知识，以及协调与生态的关系。

期刊介绍： Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary journal defining and reporting on fundamental research in human-computer interaction. The goal of HCI is to be a journal of the highest quality that combines the best research and design work to extend our understanding of human-computer interaction. The target audience is the research community with an interest in both the scientific implications and practical relevance of how interactive computer systems should be designed and how they are actually used. HCI is concerned with the theoretical, empirical, and methodological issues of interaction science and system design as it affects the user.
