Les relations de pouvoir comme fondement des stratégies d'intégration des usagers dans le design process

Abstract

The current paper aims to show the importance of considering the power relations in the implementation of the user's integration strategies. In order to do this, we first suppose that the user's integration strategy is a "strategical function" of design device that focuses on the power relations. We would proceed secondly to problematizing the design device on the basis of the relation between "power & knowledge" of use, which will be examined through the competence/performance modality. Our argumentation will be based on the methodology of LIUP's study. LIUP is The Laboratory of Innovative Usages and Practices, in the Cité du design in saint-Etienne.
