论文摘要
参与式设计（PD）寻求政治变革，以支持人们对流程，解决方案的民主控制，以及总的来说，他们关注的问题。在支持弱势群体以依靠组织和外部结构时获得权力和控制的特定挑战。我们反思了我们与尼泊尔的性贩运幸存者的五年参与以及支持幸存者的反贩运组织。我们认为，在环境中，赤字观点的普遍性促进了依赖性并剥夺了幸存者代理机构，我们试图通过基于幸存者现有资产探索可能性来带来变化。三种配置阐明了我们的设计决策和集体探索如何运作以赋予参与权，同时在现有结构中隐含，明确地表现出实质性的能力。我们强调了我们面临的挑战，揭示了PD从业者可以采取的行动，包括强调协作纠缠，参与偶然的因素以及鼓励临时集体。
Participatory Design (PD) seeks political change to support people's democratic control over processes, solutions, and, in general, matters of concern to them. A particular challenge remains in supporting vulnerable groups to gain power and control when they are dependent on organizations and external structures. We reflect on our five-year engagement with survivors of sex trafficking in Nepal and an anti-trafficking organization that supports the survivors. Arguing that the prevalence of deficit perspective in the setting promotes dependency and robs the survivors' agency, we sought to bring change by exploring possibilities based on the survivors' existing assets. Three configurations illuminate how our design decisions and collective exploration operate to empower participation while attending to the substantial power implicitly and explicitly manifest in existing structures. We highlight the challenges we faced, uncovering actions that PD practitioners can take, including an emphasis on collaborative entanglements, attending to contingent factors, and encouraging provisional collectives.
