In the globalized twenty-first century, the relevance of intercultural performance is to forge supporting infrastructures between collaborators of divergent sociocultural backgrounds and disciplinary training. Fostering such infrastructures is vital for reconfiguring existing social relations and redistributing resources in the face of increasing sociocultural asymmetry. However, I argue that transforming collaborating ‘strangers’ into interdependent components of a sustainable symbiotic community necessitates the implementation of a collaborative ergonomics. It is an ergonomics concerned with the efficiency and efficacy of collaboration that actively seeks to traverse boundaries and borders. Linguistic translation, lexical translation and the transference and co-production of embodied knowledge are the crucial steps for effecting a collaborative ergonomics. Signs of an emerging symbiosis include the increasingly collaborative relationships between the collaborators and the transformation of embodied practices into highly reflexive and rigorous praxis.

迈向协同人机工程学：通过性能边界遍历从陌生人到共生社区

在全球化的 21 世纪，跨文化表演的相关性在于在不同社会文化背景的合作者和学科培训之间建立支持基础设施。面对日益严重的社会文化不对称，培育此类基础设施对于重新配置现有社会关系和重新分配资源至关重要。然而，我认为将合作的“陌生人”转变为可持续共生社区的相互依存的组成部分需要实施协作人体工程学。它是一种关注协作效率和功效的人体工程学，它积极寻求跨越边界和边界。语言翻译，词汇翻译以及具身知识的转移和共同生产是实现协作人体工程学的关键步骤。出现共生关系的迹象包括合作者之间越来越多的合作关系，以及将具体实践转变为高度反思和严格的实践。
