PAPER ’S ABSTRACT

(Find the paper on https://ensad-fr.academia.edu/MaxMollon)

Contemporary issues of occidental society are multi-faceted and addressing them needs bringing multiple points of views around the table. However, making every voices heard is a challenge, especially the ones in the margins. On the other hand, the concept of intersectionality allows to consider how various categories – including sectarian ones as race, gender, age, ability… – simultaneously compose traits of one's identity. Here, rather than focusing on identity constitution or intersections of various categories, I address “domination” as a common attribute to these vertical relationships. In fact, many of these oppressions remain silent, because of being untold, unthought-of or unknown. They remain embedded and hidden in everyday life and everyday objects. Indeed, human-made objects often support these state of power – as they involve many actors and assumptions in their making and using. But they can also allow to identify them and to interfere with them, opening a space for horizontal discussion. I argue that “Speculative and Critical Design” (SCD) artefacts have this potential when bringing a state of “dissensus”.

Un outils favorisant l’échange :Rassembler les thématiques éthiques et sociales proches des intérêts des communautés MND, permet d’articuler des discussions entre les points de vus de chacun.Cette initiative est susceptible de faire mieux apparaître les enjeux d’une implication concrète de la réflexion éthique au regard de la diversité des réalités que recouvrent les MND. Patients, aidants, soignants et personnes intéressées se sont réunies lors de l’université d’été de l’EREMAND le 15/09/2015 (Espace de réflexion éthique sur les maladies d’Alzheimer et neuro-dégénératives). Lors de ce tout premier Atelier de création éthique ils ont participés collectivement au projet d’identification et d’exploration des questions éthiques, mené par dans le cadre du Plan MND 2014/2019.

À vous de jouer : Vous êtes invité à imprimer cette carte au format A3 et à organiser vous même des évènements collectifs (réunions, discussions, débats…) afin d’ouvrir des discussions, aider à l’inter-compréhension et nous faire parvenir vos réactions sur la carte. Elle est destinée à être complétée et transformée, au grès de ces retours. Ainsi, elle contribue de manière collective et dynamique à la réflexion de l’Espace Éthique.

Retourner la carte et/ou vous commentaires à : [email protected] ou par courrier, Espace éthique – CHU

Initiative portée par l’Espace de réflexion éthique région Ile-de-France et par l’Espace national de réflexion MND. Démarche inspirée et acompagnée par Max Mollon du studio de design spéculatif: What if?

EMPIRICAL RESULTS2/3

1. Participants proposed to redesign • ›› “Unacceptable objects” – complementary to intermediary ones

2. Provocation needs not only balance – it dependent on context • ›› The “context of reception” also needs to be designed • ›› Spectators are the actual user • ›› They mobilise audiences / construct publics

3. Artefacts’ cristallise dominations and make them accessible (instead of supporting them or avoiding them) …

4.A conflict with the object, a dialogue with others • Patients—experts dialogue (despite ethics commission’s boss)

DISCUSSION › THEORETICAL DIRECTIONS3/3

Seating in-between • Esteban Muñoz’s Disidentification: minority (i.e. queer people of

colour), negotiate identity in a majoritarian world – does not assimilate (identify) nor reject (counter identify) › working on, with and against.

• Moraga & Anzaldúa’s “This bridge called my back” – feeling of belonging to two origins and fitting to none of them

• Connecting deaf hears and mute mouths

Breaching the norms • L’Éphéméride supports a political position which is under-

represented › Disalvo’s remainder. • It is like Garfinkel's “breaching experiment” but triggered with an

artefact (techno methodology) • Conflict with the object & dialogue with others

LIMITS

• Needs more analysis to show the domination between ethics boss & participants

• The artefact creates a discussion on fatalism, and not about domination (which is analysed afterward)

• The theoretical references are not mobilised in the practical work – but they are keys to read the work afterwards.I.e. Needs a reflection on ANT ActorNetworkTheory, Hermeneutic Phenomenology and “time decolonisation” in speculative design.

Q&A FROM THE SYMPOSIUM:

This paper’s presentation triggered questions = • on the decolonialisation of time (in SCD). This is not addressed in

this project because my practice of SCD, here, speculates in an alternative present. Also, the decolonialisation of time’s linear representation is not the main point of this research. It is rather used as a caricature, through the L’Éphéméride artefact, in order to start actual discussions of representations shifts (of the whole disease, including time) between patients and so called experts.

• on the teaching of SCD. Is it really relevant if freshly graduated designers can not use SCD in a conventional (non-SCD) company? What space for designers as game-changers in society? Participants proposed that designers’ activism intentions may be hidden until being in a power position, in oder to steer, advise and impact companies strategies – even at the scale of mere graphic design choices, or reframing the brief. I argue that designers could either not hide and get fired, or not use their title and work in other fields, where designers are not expected, but where there is room (and need) for critique, debate, and mutual understanding.
