Abstract

This article presents a theoretical argument and a short observational study in favor of a new metaphor for IHC studies about the processes involved in software development: dialogism. Based on the written production of the Bakhtin Circle as well as on a socio-cultural perspective of cognition as "situated" and "distributed", we discuss the dialogical nature of software development as a process, from the initial moments of authoring to the later stages of its use. In the same vain, we advance design directions aimed at enhancing machine responsiveness in human-machine communication. Finally, we briefly report an ongoing ethnographical and videographical study of designers' and engineers' activities in a simulated "software house", and the activities that "final" users engaged in with the artifacts thus produced.
