7. ENGAGEMENT •
Engagement at the centre of research agendas
IN LITERATURE (Rogers 2006)
•
Specific design strategies for fostering engagement
(Gaver et al 2004, Dalsgaard & Dindler 2009)
•
Particular attributes that support engagement
(Edmonds et al 2010)
•
Assemblies of technologies
(Hindmarsh et al 2002)
8. ENGAGEMENT •
A perspective on interaction (akin to usability or affect)
OUR APPROACH
•
Dual nature:
‐ a means for analyzing of interaction
‐ insights may sensitize and influence design
•
A focus on the system that we design and the immediate
relations between user(s) and that system is too narrow
•
By comparing the three cases it seems clear that we
cannot adequately understand and explain what is going
on if we focus on the system that we design and the
immediate relations between user(s) and that system
‐> we need to adopt a more systemic perspective
35. PHYSICAL SOCIAL
Physical manipulations and bodily movement Social interaction (O’Hara et al 2003)
Embodiment: ‘The property of being manifest in and Co‐experience (Forlizzi & Battarbee 2004)
part of the world’ (Dourish 2001)
Self‐expression through interaction (Goffman)
Distributed and interactive cognition: sense‐making
through physical action and interaction with world Social interaction patterns (Nielsen et al 2009)
(Hutchins 1995, Gedenryd 1998)
Affective engagement: being influenced by surroundings
even before conscious sense‐making (Fritsch 2009)

(Hutchins 1995, Gedenryd 1998)
Affective engagement: being influenced by surroundings
even before conscious sense‐making (Fritsch 2009)
ASPECTS OF ENGAGEMENT
CULTURAL
Cultural norms and conventions: situations embody
particular forms of practice
People stage their behaviour accordingly:
performing perception (Dalsgaard & Hansen 2008)
Artifacts and institutions reflect and reinforce cultural
practices (cultural‐historical activity theory)
Spatial practices: following and bending the rules
(De Certeau 1984)

ASPECTS OF ENGAGEMENT
CULTURAL CONTENT‐ORIENTED
Cultural norms and conventions: situations embody Parts vs composition
particular forms of practice
Investing attention and effort into content
People stage their behaviour accordingly: (Dewey, Borgman)
performing perception (Dalsgaard & Hansen 2008)
Recognizable structures and/or elements of
Artifacts and institutions reflect and reinforce cultural conflict (Genette 1983)
practices (cultural‐historical activity theory)
Static and linear vs dynamic and non‐linear
Spatial practices: following and bending the rules (Aarseth 1994, Manovich 2001)
(De Certeau 1984)
40. EMERGENCE RELATIONS
What are the first traces of How are the different aspects of
engagement? engagement related?
What causes it to occur? How do they influence one
another?
DYNAMICS OF ENGAGEMENT
41. EMERGENCE RELATIONS TRANSFORMATIONS
What are the first traces of How are the different aspects of How does engagement change
engagement? engagement related? over the course of time?
What causes it to occur? How do they influence one How do changes occur within
another? one aspect of engagement?
How do the relations between
different aspects shift?
DYNAMICS OF ENGAGEMENT
49. FUTURE WORK •
Developing the framework and making it more operational
‐ perhaps through development of annotation techniques
•
Utilizing or developing better methods for understanding
engagement with content
•
Using the framework pro‐actively in design experiments
