为什么解决方案是问题的终点？虽然人机交互和设计领域的许多人已经研究了解决问题的冲动-解决方案主义者或技术解决方案主义者的心态-我们研究了将解决方案和问题结合在一起的逻辑。关注系统性种族不公正的及时和后果问题，我们认为通过矛盾的可能性，配对的问题和解决方案（经常被视为默认的设计和人机交互）永久化的条件，我们寻求改善。凭借卡尔文·沃伦深刻的非洲悲观主义，我们认识到用于解决黑人生活结构性不平等的工具是如何根据不平等本身构建的。因此，解决问题是一条死胡同。我们利用这一悖论来重新思考正在进行的努力，以更广泛地寻求公平和正义，为人机交互和设计制定一条脆弱但充满希望的道路。
Why is the solution the end point to a problem? While many in HCI and design have examined the impulse to solve problems–the solutionist or techno-solutionist mindset–we examine the logic that binds the solution and the problem together as a pair. Focusing on the timely and consequential problem of systemic racial injustice, we think through the paradoxical possibility that the pairing of the problem and solution (so often treated as the default in design and HCI) perpetuates the very conditions we seek to improve. With Calvin Warren’s profound Afro-pessimism, we recognize how the tools used to solve structural inequities around Black life are constructed with inequities themselves. The problem-solution, therefore, is a dead end. We use this paradox as an invitation to rethink ongoing efforts to seek equity and justice more broadly, setting out a fragile but hopeful path for HCI and design.
