“What else is there...?”: reporting meditations in experiential computing
受Yoo关于体验式计算研究的呼吁启发，本文提出“沉思”作为一种田野调查和报告的新体裁，融合内省与反思、因果与指导，通过编织日常IT体验与理论反思，为信息系统研究开辟感性新路径。
Compelled by Yoo’s (MIS Q, 34:213–231, ) call for research on experiential computing, the paper suggests meditations as a genre for both doing and reporting on fieldwork. Meditations are used to engender passionate renderings of research encounters that are part introspective and reflective and part causative and instructive. The meditations weave together everyday experiences with IT with theoretical reflections on embodiment and affect, and suggest the potential for a new scholarly sensuousness. The paper suggests that paying attention to feelings related to technology in everyday life and the use of alternative representational tactics and theoretical motifs can be generative of new matters for empirical research. Emphasizing the senses and the body and their importance in developing a sensory apprenticeship in IS, the paper suggests alternative routes to knowledge and representation.
