Abstract

How can design teams constitute human bodily attributions as the locus of productive forces, the site in which an interaction language links up with phenomenological practices of human users? I propose that the salient characteristic of this matter is inter-subjective in that bodily interaction should not exclude either sustenance of different phenomenological bodies or intervention with them. Acknowledging the design challenge of the matter, I discuss a comprehensive survey of bodily attributions as generative design materials, consisting of sensory, grounded cognition, and socio-cultural levels. The framework is intended to help design teams systematically establish prioritized relationships among these bodily attributions as discovered in behavioural sequences. The framework is justified with the example of the bodily interactions of the Ocarina application of the iPhone. Ultimately, this paper emphasizes inter-subjective description that not only is inclusive of phenomenological bodies, but also establishes consistency of what they might afford.
