In design research critique has recently been voiced against the multiple ways the notion of participation is understood and practiced. Studies of performativity and performance art have been used to account for this methodological multiplicity. However, in this paper, we argue that participation still has much offer design research as a foundational concept, but that a more nuanced understanding is required. Further we offer such an understanding by presenting three theories and methodologies from participatory art. The value of participatory art for design research will then be exemplified by a practice-based design research project exploring forms of patient democracy.

重新思考设计：从创新方法论到设计对象

在设计研究中，最近有人批评了理解和实践参与概念的多种方式。对表演性和表演艺术的研究已被用来解释这种方法论的多样性。然而，在本文中，我们认为参与仍然作为一个基本概念提供设计研究，但需要更细致的理解。此外，我们通过介绍参与式艺术的三种理论和方法来提供这种理解。参与式艺术对设计研究的价值将通过一个探索耐心民主形式的基于实践的设计研究项目来体现。
