“…As Olander et al (2011) argue, mobilization may be carried out by providing infrastructures for everyday innovation and through designerly interventions, such as a design laboratory hosting dialogue meetings, workshops and LivingLabs. Such approaches still leave aside the question of how, and to what effect, this engagement can also be seen as a strategy of democratization.…”

This paper disseminates work from the European Give&Take project, which aims at co-designing service sharing among senior citizens based on a mobile and distributed platform. With this project as a frame, the authors' paper addresses methodological considerations of participation in co-design for ageing. Based on the notions of design culture, communities of everyday practice and situated elderliness the authors present accounts from two European countries, and discuss methodological issues related to mobilizing senior citizens in co-design work as they have manifested themselves and influenced the Give&Take project. Challenges for mobilization are identified, based on an analysis of attitudes and values among design researchers and senior citizens. This analysis lead them to identify and discuss three strategies for mobilizing senior citizens in co-design of mobile technology: 1) Understanding being ‘elderly' as situated elderliness rather than closed categories; 2) Understanding how ad hoc or loosely coupled infrastructures can define a community rather than a formal, organisational structure; and 3) Understanding the nature of mobilization and motivation for participation as processes that continue, and need to be supported, also after completion of the project. These strategies have emerged in the authors' work on mobilization and service sharing, but may apply to a broader context of infrastructuring and ongoing negotiations.

“…However in projects such as these, the design activities shift from contributing to the production of functional systems to participating in the production of experiential structures, activities, and props to support a collective speculation. This is a new mode of community-based participatory design [26]. In this participatory design, the primary design task is one of developing support structures to undergird collective inquiry into matters of concern.…”

Science studies scholar Bruno Latour suggests that contemporary democracy is shifting from "matters of fact" to "matters of concern": contentious conditions entwined with everyday life. What is the role of human-computer interaction (HCI) design in this shift? In this paper we draw from five design projects to explore how design can express matters of concern by communicating the factors and consequences of issues. In the process, we consider the role of design in contributing to the formation of publics and discuss an emerging orientation to publics in HCI design.

“…These ideas about conflict and difference are central to theories of agonism and agonistic democracy, which ground democracy in radical pluralism and contestation [2,5]. Of late, these theories are gaining purchase in design, particularly in participatory design [1,3,6]. This raises the question of the role of design with regard to conflict in communities.…”
