Kritisches Design basiert vielfach auf Ironie, Störung oder Verfremdung und schafft Distanz. Die Autorin forscht nach Alternativen im Neuen Materialismus und in Theorien über den Animismus – ein durch die Kolonialzeit geprägter Begriff, der in den 1990er-Jahren eine Revision erfuhr. Wie könnten Kritik und Reflexion funktionieren, wenn man den Menschen mit seiner Umwelt verwoben begreift? In dem Buch werden vier animistische Praktiken identifiziert und für das Design diskutiert. Kritische Distanz entsteht hier paradoxerweise durch Nähe. Die Praktiken spielen mit einem Wechsel zwischen dem Eigenen und dem Anderen und sind (selbst)reflexiv. Sie eignen sich insbesondere für das Erforschen und Gestalten vernetzter oder anthropomorpher Artefakte (etwa IoT-Devices, Voice Assistants), deren Grenzen zueinander und zum Menschen verschwimmen.

Critical design is frequently based on irony, disruption or alienation and creates a sense of distance. In this book, Judith Dörrenbacher looks for alternatives within New Materialism and in theories about animism, a concept strongly influenced by the colonial era and which has undergone a revision since the 1990s. How might critique and reflection work if we understand humans to be inextricably bound to their environment? In this book, four animistic practices are identified and discussed in relation to design. Paradoxically, here, critical distance emerges through proximity. The practices play with an alternation between the self and the other and are (self)reflexive. They are particularly suitable for exploring and designing networked or anthropomorphic artifacts (such as IoT devices and voice assistants) whose boundaries to each other and to humans are blurred.
