Questioning the User-Researcher Dualism: Premises of the Situatedness of Knowledge in HCI

Research output: Chapter in Book or Conference ProceedingsConference Proceedings without Presentationpeer-review

Abstract

With the third wave of HCI, awareness of considering the social context of individuals - in short, the situatedness of knowledge (SoK) - started to establish. Building on Donna Haraway´s SoK and feminist HCI research, we argue that hierarchies are reflected in the supposed dualism user-researcher, and, consequently, have to be deconstructed to enable implementation of epistemological premises of the situatedness of knowledge. We aim to contribute by introducing the concept of ´user-researcher´.
