The Field of Design and Emotion: Concepts, Arguments, Tools, and Current Issues

Ürün tasarımı araştırmaları son yıllarda ‘tasarım ve duygular’ alanının ortaya çıkışına tanıklık etti. Çeşitli yazarlar değişik disiplinlerden ödünç aldıkları duygularla ilgili farklı kavramları alana tanıttılar ve tasarımda duyguların rolü konusunda farklı perspektifler geliştirdiler. Aynı anda tasarım araştırmacıları da ürün-kullanıcı ilişkisinin duygusal yönünü aydınlatmak ve buna seslenen tasarımlar yapmak amacıyla farklı araç ve teknikler geliştirdiler. Bunlar sonucunda ortaya çıkan ve her an zenginleşmekte olan resim farklı argümanların ve çeşitli tekniklerin zengin bir karışımını bize sunmaktadır. Bu aşamada, şimdiye dek ortaya konmuş olan bu kavram, argüman ve araçların özetlenmesi daha ileri çalışmalara temel sağlayarak, alanın gelişimine katkıda bulunacaktır. Bu makale, şimdiye dek alana sunulmuş olan duygusal olguların aralarındaki benzerlik ve farklılıkları belirleyerek sözü edilen temeli oluşturmaya çalışmaktadır. Tasarım ve duygular alanına ait farklı hedef ve argümanlar tespit edilmekte, araç ve teknikler ise bu hedeflere erişmedeki rolleri açısından tartışılmaktadır. Son olarak, alanın koyduğu hedeflere ulaşması için gerekli itici gücü sağlayabilecek çeşitli güncel konular özetlenmekte ve tartışılmaktadır.

'Tasrım ve Duygular' Alanı: Kavramlar, Argümanlar, Araçlar ve Güncel Sorunlar

In recent years, research in the field of product design has witnessed the emergence of the field of design and emotion. Several authors have introduced different emotion related concepts borrowed from different disciplines and adopted different perspectives for the role of emotions in design. Simultaneously, design researchers have developed different tools and techniques, to illuminate the emotional side of the user-product relationship and to design for this emotional side. The resulting picture is a rich blend of different arguments and various techniques, which is getting even richer. At this point, it is beneficial for the domain to summarize those concepts, arguments, and tools in order to provide a clear discussion basis for the further studies. This paper attempts to provide this basis by pointing out the similarities and differences among the emotional phenomena that have been introduced in the field. The different objectives and arguments of the design and emotion field are identified and the tools and techniques are discussed regarding their help in attaining these objectives. Lastly, current issues in the area that may provide the field with a boost towards achieving its objectives are briefly summarized and discussed.
