What are workplace studies for
TL;DR: The role of workplace studies from the CSCW literature are considered, categorised according to which phase of the design process they most inform, and the tensions between providing explanatory accounts and usable design recommendations are discussed.

Scandinavian Approaches to Participatory Design
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that three principles distinguish Scandinavian approaches to participatory design: striving for democracy and democratisation; explicit discussions of values in design and imagined futures; and ways that conflicts and contradictions are regarded as resources in design.

The performativity of routines : theorising the influence of artefacts and distributed agencies on routines dynamics
TL;DR: This article proposed a theoretical framework that characterises the mutual adaptation between formal routines and rules, on one hand, and actual performances, on the other, as iterative cycles of framing, overflowing and reframing of knowledge inputs and actions.
Book ChapterDOI
An introduction to algebraic semiotics, with application to user interface design
TL;DR: It is shown that the quality of representations is closely related to the preservation properties of semiotic morphisms; these measures of quality also provide the orderings needed by the category theoretic formulation of blending.
