How social things work. Cognition, normativity, and design for the masses

Witold M. Wachowski

Abstract


One can speak about the social involvement of things not only in the language of posthumanism. People design and produce artifacts. The social character of the latter comes not only from everyday use or from use in cooperation between people but also from the system of various social norms in context of which we use these things. I discuss the issue of situating social artifacts in normative practices from the perspective of cognitive ecology and, at the same time, design theory.

Keywords
