Synopsis
Computer science as an engineering discipline has been spectacularly successful. Yet it is also a philosophical enterprise in the way it represents the world and creates and manipulates models of reality, people, and action. In this book, Paul Dourish addresses the philosophical bases of human-computer interaction. He looks at how what he calls "embodied interaction"—an approach to interacting with software systems that emphasizes skilled, engaged practice rather than disembodied rationality—reflects the phenomenological approaches of Martin Heidegger, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and other twentieth-century philosophers. The phenomenological tradition emphasizes the primacy of natural practice over abstract cognition in everyday activity. Dourish shows how this perspective can shed light on the foundational underpinnings of current research on embodied interaction. He looks in particular at how tangible and social approaches to interaction are related, how they can be used to analyze and understand embodied interaction, and how they could affect the design of future interactive systems.

Where the Action Is
Seller: Hamelyn, Madrid, M, Spain
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Condition: Como nuevo. : En este libro, Paul Dourish aborda las bases filosóficas de la interacción persona-ordenador. Examina cómo la "interacción encarnada", un enfoque de la interacción con los sistemas de software que enfatiza la práctica hábil y comprometida en lugar de la racionalidad desencarnada, refleja los enfoques fenomenológicos de Martin Heidegger, Ludwig Wittgenstein y otros filósofos del siglo XX. La tradición fenomenológica enfatiza la primacía de la práctica natural sobre la cognición abstracta en la actividad cotidiana. Dourish muestra cómo esta perspectiva puede arrojar luz sobre los fundamentos de la investigación actual sobre la interacción encarnada. Analiza en particular cómo se relacionan los enfoques tangibles y sociales de la interacción, cómo se pueden utilizar para analizar y comprender la interacción encarnada y cómo podrían afectar al diseño de futuros sistemas interactivos.
