随着历史上排除在外的人群的关注，最近有人呼吁HCI研究方法更充分地承认和解决种族主义，性别歧视，性别种族主义，认知暴力，阶级主义等的历史背景。在本文中，我们利用黑人女权主义认识论作为关键框架，以理解历史背景，揭示了相互联系的权力体系，这些系统相互影响，以造成不同人群的不平等成果或社会不平等。利用黑人女权主义思想（BFT）和交叉性作为设计实践的关键社会理论，我们引入了Power-A方法的交叉分析，使HCI研究人员，设计师和从业人员能够在历史背景下识别和识别和识别暴力的饱和地点他们与历史上被压迫的人群互动的方式。作为研究人员进行自我反思，我们将对权力的交叉分析应用于与社区街头外展工人共同设计的技术，这些技术在其主要是黑人社区中解决暴力。我们：（1）确定暴力的饱和部位； （2）确定权力的相交系统以及持有权力的人（过去和现在）； （3）描述将这些相交系统结合在一起的“概念胶”以及那些持有权力的人正在采用指导其相互作用的假设； （4）检查黑人被征服，监视和/或期望吸收“规范性”存在和行为方式的方式； （5）确定抵抗行为。本文贡献了传统的HCI和设计方法的替代方法，这些方法将持续存在的中立性和色盲的镜头以白人，创新和资本主义为中心，并忽略了国家批准的暴力和结构压迫的历史。
With increased focus on historically excluded populations, there have been recent calls for HCI research methods to more adequately acknowledge and address the historical context of racism, sexism, gendered racism, epistemic violence, classism, and so on. In this article, we utilize Black feminist epistemologies to serve as critical frameworks for understanding the historical context that reveals the interconnected systems of power that mutually influence one another to create unequal outcomes or social inequalities for different populations. Leveraging Black feminist thought (BFT) and intersectionality as critical social theories of design praxis, we introduce intersectional analysis of power-a method that enables HCI researchers, designers, and practitioners to identify and situate saturated sites of violence in a historical context and to transform the ways in which they engage with populations that have been historically oppressed. Engaging in self-reflection as researchers, we apply an intersectional analysis of power to co-design technologies with community street outreach workers who address violence in their predominantly Black communities. We: (1) identify the saturated site of violence; (2) identify the intersecting systems of power and who holds power (past and present); (3) describe the "conceptual glue" that binds these intersecting systems together and the assumption(s) that those who hold power are employing to guide their interactions; (4) examine the ways in which Black people are subjugated, surveilled, and/or expected to assimilate to "normative" ways of being and behaving; and (5) identify acts of resistance. This article contributes an alternative to traditional HCI and design methods that falsely perpetuate a lens of neutrality and colorblindness that centers on whiteness, innovation, and capitalism and ignores the history of State-sanctioned violence and structural oppression.
