项目摘要

'Alternative Futures' will explore how digital apps are used bymarginalised communities and individuals to disrupt and re-order'slow emergencies' - understood as situations of ongoing andendemic harm or damage which gradually wear down people andpopulations. A key characteristic of 'slow emergencies' are thatpeople affected by them or concerned by them need to make claimsthat seemingly ordinary situations should be treated as'emergencies': occasions necessitating an urgent response fromsome kind of governing authority. The project focuses on how appshave emerged as a key way of rendering slow emergencies visible,means of mitigating their effects, and a resource for making claimsor demands to governmental agencies for further action to end oralleviate the situation of harm or damage. Through case studies ofapps developed in relation to three slow emergencies, racism, antirefugee discrimination, and state withdrawal and homelessness, theproject will look at how apps are designed, rationalised, andpromoted by organisations concerned with justice, and used bypeople living with situations of ongoing harm. It will use acombination of interface analysis, mobile ethnographies, and in depth interviews with users, app designers, and organisationsworking in relation to each of the three areas. The result will be thefirst study of the use of apps as a way of living through andattempting to end slow emergencies.

“另类未来”将探索被边缘化的社区和个人如何使用数字应用程序来扰乱和重新排序“缓慢的紧急情况”--被理解为持续的、地方性的伤害或破坏的情况，这些情况会逐渐消耗人和人口。“缓慢紧急情况”的一个关键特征是，受紧急情况影响或关心的人需要声称，看似普通的情况应该被视为“紧急情况”：需要某种管理当局做出紧急反应的情况。该项目的重点是，应用程序如何成为显示缓慢紧急情况的关键方式、减轻其影响的手段，以及向政府机构提出索赔或要求采取进一步行动以结束或减轻伤害或破坏情况的资源。通过对与种族主义、反难民歧视、国家撤退和无家可归这三个缓慢的紧急情况相关的应用程序开发的案例研究，该项目将考察关注正义的组织如何设计、合理化和推广应用程序，以及生活在持续伤害情况下的人们如何使用应用程序。它将结合界面分析、移动民族志，以及对用户、应用程序设计师和与这三个领域相关的组织的深入采访。其结果将是首次研究应用程序作为一种生活方式的使用，并试图结束缓慢的紧急情况。
