从20世纪70年代斯堪的纳维亚的劳工运动中最早的体现开始，解放性设计就有一种解放性的政治。当PD在其他语境中被挪用时，这种解放性的政治可以继续被突出，或者正如Bannon & Ehn（2013）所担心的那样，它可以被稀释成“以用户为中心的设计”的企业实践。“推进民主党解放政治的一种方法是继续民主党早期对乌托邦思想的接受。然而，乌托邦今天的名声不佳，许多活动家公开拒绝。在这个主题演讲中，我将重新审视对乌托邦的一些批评。接下来，我将探讨另一种乌托邦框架-来自女权主义和科幻小说研究-这可以有效地通知PD，无论是认识论还是方法论，在其最公开的政治设计目标。我将介绍一些我通过设计研究项目与这些想法联系在一起的方式，这些项目的规模从涉及当地制造商的关键参与式研究到为整个城市人口的身份和愿望而设计。
From its earliest incarnation in labor movements in Scandinavia in the 1970s, Participatory Design has had an emancipatory politics inscribed in it. As PD is appropriated in other contexts, this emancipatory politics can continue to be foregrounded or, as Bannon & Ehn (2013) worry, it can be diluted into corporate practices of "user-centered design." One way to advance the emancipatory politics in PD is to continue PD's early embrace of utopian thinking. Yet utopianism today has a poor reputation, openly rejected by many activists. In this keynote, I will revisit some of the criticisms of utopianism. Next, I will explore an alternative framing of utopianism---derived from feminism and science fiction studies---that could productively inform PD, both epistemologically and methodologically, in its most openly political design goals. I will present some of the ways I have tied to engage with these ideas through design research projects ranging in scale from critical-participatory studies involving local makers to designing for and about the identities and aspirations of entire urban populations.
