THE RISE OF OPEN-ACCESS SCHOLARSHIP The medium of academic publishing has changed radically in the last 20 years, since the advent of the Web in the early 1990s, although that change has come more slowly to the humanities and social sciences, including design studies, than in the hard sciences. The creation of disciplinary-specific repositories in the early 1990s flourished in the sciences with examples such as arXiv.org now containing over 1 million pre-prints. Pre-prints ​ are articles written for submission to peer-reviewed journals but which have not yet undergone the peerreview process. A ​post-print ​ is the manuscript ​after ​ it has been peer-reviewed but before it has been copyedited. The concept of pre-prints and post-prints have been widely accepted and used in the sciences for almost three decades and are de facto ​open access ​ , meaning that this scholarship even as it is only in draft form is freely available on the Web for anyone with an Internet connection.","PeriodicalId":377953,"journal":{"name":"Nordes 2017: Design and Power","volume":"20 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":"126429397","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}

{"title":"Narrative Identities in Participatory Art and Design Cases","authors":"Daria Akimenko, Essi Kuure","doi":"10.21606/nordes.2017.022","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21606/nordes.2017.022","url":null,"abstract":"This paper explores identities that come about through the narratives different actors communicate in participatory art and design projects, as opposed to the roles assumed for and by them. This contributes to the discussion of equal engagement in participatory practices. The paper focuses on the notion of narrative identity in the context of two case studies, Good Life in Villages, a design competition held in rural Finnish Lapland with local communities, and Have You Heard, an art intervention working with migrant businesses in Edinburgh, UK. Both cases follow the methodology of design research through practice and artistic research and address current social issues, the former population ageing and challenges of centralism, and the latter migration and belonging, through design and art, respectively. The aim of the paper is to propose a different point of view on facilitating participant engagement and adding local meaning to cases through understanding and utilizing narrative identities. INTRODUCTION Process description is the prevailing way of discussing complex participatory art and design cases, with previous research having often focused on the roles actors play in them. This approach often restricts indepth understanding, especially in what concerns the people involved in the process. When applied in the two case studies presented in this paper, the role analysis angle proved to be rather limiting and depersonalizing. When interacting during a dedicated timeframe, that is a participatory project duration, be it in a group or one on one, two processes are inherent to this activity: sharing narratives and creating a relationship. Using an example of oral history creation, Portelli (2005) refers to the dynamics between a narrator and a narratee as to a “listening art and an art based on a set of relationships”. Narratives provide a frame of reference to the life circumstances of the one who shares them, both for themselves and for the one listening. Through this sharing of narratives, participants’ identities become apparent and allow more complex relationships to build. In order to better understand the agency of people involved in art and design projects, this paper explores the identities that come about through the narratives actors choose to communicate, as opposed to the roles assumed for and by them during participatory processes. Despite the long and successful effort of democratization and shifting power structures in participatory design projects, the position of “rolegiving” still seems to be authoritative and limiting for the true involvement of all the actors in such processes. In the following two sections, the paper focuses on theoretical understanding and previous research of the concepts of roles and identities. The aim is to expand roles perspective and propose narrative identities as an alternative way of looking at art and design cases. Further, the paper describes two case studies, Good Life in Villages and Have You Hea","PeriodicalId":377953,"journal":{"name":"Nordes 2017: Design and Power","volume":"21 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":"115548606","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}

Mazé","doi":"10.21606/nordes.2017.053","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21606/nordes.2017.053","url":null,"abstract":"In recent years, urban transformations have required new work approaches and roles for architects and designers. These expand beyond the design of physical objects, buildings or urban plans, to include the mediation of more complex and controversial processes and collaborations. Negotiation among various kinds of actors has become central, and this challenges traditional expert roles and power relations in architecture and design. This paper draws upon two cases of professional experience and ‘research through design’ to elaborate the role and work of architects/ designers in mediating the temporary use of space. Temporary use is becoming a central and strategic component of urban development today, and it involves direct engagement of citizens and various local actors. In recent research, the importance of ‘mediators’ or ‘agents’ for temporary use has been identified but not explored in greater detail. We draw on participatory design and architecture discourses to conceptualize the architect/designer’s role in mediating temporary use, taking the concept of ‘urban agent’ as a point of departure.","PeriodicalId":377953,"journal":{"name":"Nordes 2017: Design and Power","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129585631","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}

We understand power as a relational activity that emerges and is upheld through particular ways of relating (Elias 1991; Stacey 2007). The spontaneity in participant actions through Object Theatre exercises renders processes of relating tangible and negotiable. In this study Object Theatre was applied in exploration of a new walking aid for elderly people. We argue that the shift in perspective that Object Theatre allows designers to achieve can be effectively harnessed to explore issues arising from power relating amongst people – and between people and objects.","PeriodicalId":377953,"journal":{"name":"Nordes 2017: Design and Power","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131282728","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 paper reports on a practice-based research study aimed at exploring innovation with a technical focus on the underutilised Reconfigurable Pin Tooling (RPT) concept. The study feature two strands of enquiry; one concerning innovation with glass forming within the researcher’s own creative practice, while another strand investigate how the same tools and development approaches can deliver innovation in the furniture industry – a field outside the researcher’s practice. Both investigations seek to provide new insights into the innovation process delivered by independent designers, and how a shift can be made from undertaking innovation within their own personal practice to delivering innovation in external sectors or industries.","PeriodicalId":377953,"journal":{"name":"Nordes 2017: Design and Power","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126263972","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}
