ABSTRACT

The design studio is the standard approach for interaction design education in the Global North. Nevertheless, in the Global South, this approach is not directly applicable due to authoritarian educational systems founded on colonialist ideologies. This research reports on an attempt to appropriate the design studio and fundamental interaction design concepts in Brazil. Following the anthropophagy tradition of hybridization, the foreign concepts were not rejected but devoured and digested together with Global South concepts, such as radical alterity, mediation, and oppression to form what we call the anthropophagic studio. The process gradually revealed to students and researchers the role of interaction design in reproducing other historical oppressions beyond colonialism. This finding points to the need for a critical pedagogy that can aptly tackle technology-mediated oppression.

摘要

设计工作室是全球北部互动设计教育的标准方法。然而，在全球南方，由于建立在殖民主义意识形态基础上的威权主义教育体系，这种方法并不直接适用。这项研究报告了在巴西采用设计工作室和基本交互设计概念的尝试。遵循人类化杂交的传统，外国概念并未遭到拒绝，而是与全球南方概念（例如激进的变更，调解和压迫）一起被吞噬和消化，从而形成了我们称之为人类化工作室。这个过程逐渐向学生和研究人员揭示了互动设计在重现殖民主义以外的其他历史压迫中的作用。这一发现表明，需要一种能够适当解决技术介导的压迫的批判教学法。
