Posthumanist Care and Ecologies of Empathy: Investigating Design Potentials for Nature:Culture HCI
Pages 81 - 94
Abstract
HCI nature:culture dialogues have recently gained traction, highlighting ample opportunities for investigation. In this paper we look at the potential of locative games in fostering caring engagement with natural/cultural heritage. We present the results of a contextual study that explores the nature:culture duality of the Levada walks on Madeira Island and their intrinsic playfulness as a natural landscape. Through a combination of narrative self-reports and cultural probes, we conducted an on-site investigation of the motivations and embodied experiences of hiking these trails, distilling an empirical epistemology of human-nature interactions. By unpacking the various realities and tensions on the ground through a feminist ethics of care and posthuman lens, we provide insight into the design of future locative interactive technologies to support and encourage human-nature interaction. Our findings address and promote values of engagement and conservation in cultural and natural heritage through a nature:culture continuum.

Feminist Care in the Anthropocene: Packing and Unpacking Tensions in Posthumanist HCI
DIS '22: Proceedings of the 2022 ACM Designing Interactive Systems ConferenceAs posthumanist or post-anthropocentric research in HCI and design proliferates and further commits to working with more-than-humans, design research practitioners are left with many open questions and uncertainties with how to productively engage with ...
Microbial Revolt: Redefining biolab tools and practices for more-than-human care ecologies
CHI '24: Proceedings of the 2024 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsRecent work in HCI has called for deeper ethical considerations when engaging with more-than-human organisms in design. In this paper, we introduce Microbial Revolt, a provocative method to support reflection on the perspectives of organisms involved in ...
Empathy and experience in HCI
CHI '08: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsFor a decade HCI researchers and practitioners have been developing methods, practices and designs 'for the full range of human experience'. On the one hand, a variety of approaches to design, such as aesthetic, affective, and ludic that emphasize ...
