Such multi-stakeholder collaboration networks change stakeholders’ roles and responsibilities and require new forms of participation in governance processes. In this work, we explore how a cross-disciplinary design approach can facilitate multi-stakeholders to ‘practise’ their shifting roles in local governance. We found that this context requires not only shifting roles of multi-stakeholders, but also a transformation of the roles of designers.","PeriodicalId":377953,"journal":{"name":"Nordes 2017: Design and Power","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126756782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this paper is to lay the ground for a more inclusive and cross-disciplinary perspective on the conceptualisation, planning and realisation of the ‘urban digital’.

Aesthetic value and style are essential for making these devices fashionable, thus facilitating their widespread use. Designing fashionable wearables requires a collaboration between professionals working in technology and fashion fields. Although many studies in the literature indicate a need for collaboration, none explored the attitudes of professionals from these fields towards collaborating with each other. Addressing this gap, we conducted in-depth interviews with 4 fashion designers, 1 fashion editor, 3 product developers and 1 public relations manager working in fashion industry. Based on the insights derived from these fashion professionals, we presented stakeholders that should be actively involved in the collaboration, the characteristics of collaboration environment, barriers for a successful collaboration, and two product development process models driven by either fashion and","PeriodicalId":377953,"journal":{"name":"Nordes 2017: Design and Power","volume":"367 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134545617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, they are analyzing how concepts from Hannah Arendt’s The Human Condition - such as those of “theatres” and “heroes” - have inspired their research within a project called “Welcome to Seraing”. The idea of active citizenship powered by this project has been inspired by the idea of “hero” described by Arendt: i.e. to be an active player in society, discussing together and making decisions about the common sphere, and bringing these decisions into action. By doing so, the actors involved are given the possibility to experience deep satisfaction - “eu-daimonia” (ancient Greek for “happiness”) - which derives from taking one’s own responsibility within society and re-discovering the social character of human nature, according to Aristotle’s definition of man as “zoon politikon” (political animal). This occurs in Greek theatre, where the stories of the “heroes” are enacted and can become an example for the citizens. \u0000 \u0000In “Welcome to Seraing” these concepts have been used as a conceptual framework for the co-creation, together with the citizens of Seraing in Belgium - of spaces of representation (inspired by Arendt’s idea of Greek theatre) to experiment new forms of participation in the common sphere. The idea is that citizens can experience there what it means to be actively involved in their own neighbourhoods (which for Arendt is the main characteristic of being a “hero”). What is emerging from this project is that the situations we co-created with citizens are currently helping them to re-think their \u0000role within their own community. This paper discusses how Arendt’s ideas of “theatre”, “hero” and “eu-daimonia” can be relevant in order to fully value the political and social implications of the construction of new spaces for the enactment of possible future stories of local “heroes”, active citizens who discover their own happiness (“eu-daimonia”) by fully expressing their social nature \u0000 \u0000Keywords: politics, active citizenship, theatre, storytelling, design for social innovation, design research, design & philosophy","PeriodicalId":377953,"journal":{"name":"Nordes 2017: Design and Power","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116717644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
