L’Éphéméride is the artefact of a critical design-driven debate between the community of moto-neuron degenerative disease patients, relatives, care-givers, doctors, and an ethics’ commission philosophers.

The project has been conducted through a 4month collaboration, after a 4month observation residency in the commission’s offices, called Espace Éthique Île de France, in Paris’ hospital St-Louis: http://espace-ethique.org

Un outils favorisant l’échange :Rassembler les thématiques éthiques et sociales proches des intérêts des communautés MND, permet d’articuler des discussions entre les points de vus de chacun.Cette initiative est susceptible de faire mieux apparaître les enjeux d’une implication concrète de la réflexion éthique au regard de la diversité des réalités que recouvrent les MND. Patients, aidants, soignants et personnes intéressées se sont réunies lors de l’université d’été de l’EREMAND le 15/09/2015 (Espace de réflexion éthique sur les maladies d’Alzheimer et neuro-dégénératives). Lors de ce tout premier Atelier de création éthique ils ont participés collectivement au projet d’identification et d’exploration des questions éthiques, mené par dans le cadre du Plan MND 2014/2019.

À vous de jouer : Vous êtes invité à imprimer cette carte au format A3 et à organiser vous même des évènements collectifs (réunions, discussions, débats…) afin d’ouvrir des discussions, aider à l’inter-compréhension et nous faire parvenir vos réactions sur la carte. Elle est destinée à être complétée et transformée, au grès de ces retours. Ainsi, elle contribue de manière collective et dynamique à la réflexion de l’Espace Éthique.

EMPIRICAL RESULTS2/3

1. Participants proposed to redesign • ›› “Unacceptable objects” – complementary to intermediary ones

2. Provocation needs not only balance – it dependent on context • ›› The “context of reception” also needs to be designed • ›› Spectators are the actual user • ›› They mobilise audiences / construct publics

3. Artefacts’ cristallise dominations and make them accessible (instead of supporting them or avoiding them) …

4.A conflict with the object, a dialogue with others • Patients—experts dialogue (despite ethics commission’s boss)

2. Ex. rather than building a community, I jumped into it(Dewey-›Disalvo (public’s engagement › but not on

time projection or past unravelling) ›› rather on Mouffe’s affects)

2. Provocation needs not only balance – it dependent on context • ›› The “context of reception” also needs to be designed • ›› Spectators are the actual user • ›› They mobilise audiences / construct publics

(Dewey-›Disalvo’s public construction, Mouffe’s affects)

3. Artefacts’ cristallise dominations and make them accessible (instead of supporting them or avoiding them) (Mouffe-›Disalvo’s remainder reconfiguration)

4.A conflict with the object, a dialogue with others

• Agonism = avoids third-way politics and consensus as the basis for decision making because consensus always privilege domination over the minority who disagree ›› it fosters the questioning, challenging and reframing of the current (dominant) state of things

4.A conflict with the object, a dialogue with others

• Le “dissensus” (Rancière, 2004)= un processus de résistance et de remise en question des pouvoirs dominants – une brèche dans cet “ordre sensible” qui détermine qui est qualifié à parler, où entendre les voix laissées à la marge. La confrontation à “l'inadmissible” permet l'émergence d’alternatives.

DISCUSSION › THEORETICAL DIRECTIONS3/3

Seating in-between • Esteban Muñoz’s Disidentification: minority (i.e. queer people of

colour), negotiate identity in a majoritarian world – does not assimilate (identify) nor reject (counter identify) › working on, with and against.

• Moraga & Anzaldúa’s “This bridge called my back” – feeling of belonging to two origins and fitting to none of them

• Connecting deaf hears and mute mouths

Breaching the norms • L’Éphéméride supports a political position which is under-

represented › Disalvo’s remainder. • It is like Garfinkel's “breaching experiment” but triggered with an

artefact (techno methodology) • Conflict with the object & dialogue with others

Seating in-betweenEsteban Muñoz’s Disidentification. The disidentificatory subject does not assimilate (identify) nor reject (counter identify) dominant ideology. Rather, he ‘tactically and simultaneously works on, with, and against, a cultural form.’

This state of being “in-between” also echoes Moraga’s feeling of both belonging to two origins and fitting to none of them – in her book “This bridge called my back” (Moraga & Anzaldúa, 2015).

Breaching the norm – The conflict with the object allows dialogue with others. But dominant relationship still remains invisible. ”L’Éphéméride” supports a political position which is under-represented. › DiSalvo’s reconfiguring the “remainder” or Garfinkel's “breaching experiment”

LIMITS

• Needs more analysis to show the domination between ethics boss & participants

• The artefact creates a discussion on fatalism, and not about domination (which is analysed afterward)

• The theoretical references are not mobilised in the practical work – but they are keys to read the work afterwards.I.e. Needs a reflection on ANT ActorNetworkTheory, Hermeneutic Phenomenology and “time decolonisation” in speculative design.

Q&A FROM THE SYMPOSIUM:

This paper’s presentation triggered questions = • on the decolonialisation of time (in SCD). This is not addressed in

this project because my practice of SCD, here, speculates in an alternative present. Also, the decolonialisation of time’s linear representation is not the main point of this research. It is rather used as a caricature, through the L’Éphéméride artefact, in order to start actual discussions of representations shifts (of the whole disease, including time) between patients and so called experts.

• on the teaching of SCD. Is it really relevant if freshly graduated designers can not use SCD in a conventional (non-SCD) company? What space for designers as game-changers in society? Participants proposed that designers’ activism intentions may be hidden until being in a power position, in oder to steer, advise and impact companies strategies – even at the scale of mere graphic design choices, or reframing the brief. I argue that designers could either not hide and get fired, or not use their title and work in other fields, where designers are not expected, but where there is room (and need) for critique, debate, and mutual understanding.
