本文认为，致力于推进正义和其他非市场价值的设计师不仅要关注对象，过程和情况的设计，而且要关注设计作为社会角色的更广泛的经济和文化范畴。本文通过Turkopticon的案例来说明这一论点，Turkopticon最初是亚马逊土耳其机器人（AMT）工人的活动工具，由作者构建并自2009年以来一直维护。本文分析了Turkopticon的公共宣传，将设计师视为创造性的创新者，而AMT工人则没有改变现状的能力。我们认为，在知识经济中，设计师作为工人的崇高地位可能会对他们的设计工作的政治产生实际影响。我们解释了这种状态对Turkopticon的影响，以及我们如何长期调整我们的方法。我们主张对设计工作中的权力进行分析，这种分析说明并发展了对关于设计作为高地位劳动的霸权信念和实践的反击。
This paper argues that designers committed to advancing justice and other non-market values must attend not only to the design of objects, processes, and situations, but also to the wider economic and cultural imaginaries of design as a social role. The paper illustrates the argument through the case of Turkopticon, originally an activist tool for workers in Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT), built by the authors and maintained since 2009. The paper analyzes public depictions of Turkopticon which cast designers as creative innovators and AMT workers as without agency or capacity to change their situation. We argue that designers' elevated status as workers in knowledge economies can have practical consequences for the politics of their design work. We explain the consequences of this status for Turkopticon and how we adapted our approach in response over the long term. We argue for analyses of power in design work that account for and develop counters to hegemonic beliefs and practices about design as high-status labor.
