Interweaving vulnerability and everyday design: Encounters around an aquarium in a paediatric oncology ward
https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6811-3464
Contemporary understandings of vulnerability highlight its critical, relational and enabling aspects. Through leveraging these understandings, this article contributes to conceptualizing the notion of everyday design by interweaving it with that of vulnerability. A case study brings vulnerability into view by zooming out from and in on everyday practices around an aquarium in a paediatric oncology ward. Subsequently, we unravel the notion of vulnerability as used in design research and in anthropology and philosophy: while vulnerability grounds everyday design philosophically and ethically as a form of care, everyday design challenges the tendency to situate vulnerability in (relations between) human beings. Our article thus exemplifies design anthropology understood as bringing in dialogue theory and methods from both anthropology and design.
Highlights We leverage understandings of vulnerability from anthropology and philosophy. We show how these align with research about the indeterminacy of design. We propose to ground everyday design philosophically and ethically as a form of care. We show how design research challenges tendencies to situate vulnerability in humans. We exemplify design anthropology as bringing anthropology and design into dialogue.
