ÖgeAn onto-phenomenological inquiry on the post-industrial maker experiences through the lens of actor network theory(Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2020) Dilek, Özgün ; Kaya, Çiğdem ; 652705 ; Endüstri Ürünleri Tasarımı Ana Bilim DalıThis thesis investigates the phenomenon of 'being maker' as emerged in the post-industrial conditions. Through the maker experiences, the thesis exposes the relations among the entities in the interactive network of tools, materials, people and places. The question of agency in the creative practices of makers is one of the main concerns of this thesis. As a secondary one, how maker experiences can transform the industrial forms of design practices follows. This research uses qualitative methodologies, and conducts a phenomenological inquiry with the ontological lens of Actor Network Theory (ANT). The phenomenological inquiry is developed as a part of uncovering meaning and articulating the lived experiences of makers. In this research, ontological side addresses different agencies in the maker network, phenomenological side bridges the human world relationship and the epistemological side, which supports design theory, generates an onto-phenomenological inquiry to know the realities of makers. Even phenomenology seeks for the conditions of the entities as perceived as in the human experiences, the use of ANT perspective brings an unexperienced 'worlds in the making' foreground that emerge in the process of interactive relations among human and non-human entities. Using ANT perspective allows the investigation of dynamic socio-material relations in maker ecology. The philosophical discussion of this thesis addresses the separation of objects and subjects, followed by the separation of roles, expertises and professions in the production, consumption cycles of industrial design. For this reason, critical approaches to industrial design are reflected for their attempt on seeking better connection with the things and the meanings in design. The thesis combines the relevant literature on the dichotomies of industrialization and the critical approaches to that condition. This literature supports the onto-phenomenological inquiry on the experiences of makers and the following investigation of the emerging concepts, behaviours, competences and meanings in the socio-material practices of makers. How these practices generate an alternative material culture to the industrial forms of design practices is highlighted for achieving new perspectives in design research. Main data collecting method of this research includes literature review, observation and semi-structured interviews with the maker participants. Literature review developed an understanding of maker practices in relation with the industrialisation and the global maker movement, which extends from today to the pre-industrial forms of design. Literature review supported observations and built connections between what was investigated and what could be investigated in maker practices. Observations took place in four different maker and technology fairs and four meet-ups between 2014 and 2017. Photographs were taken and material data as flyers, magazines, books were collected in these maker events to reflect the material and communicative relations in the maker network in İstanbul. Following the observations, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the nineteen selected maker participants between 2016 and 2018. In the analysis phase, thematic codes were generated through coding the data, finding out conceptual themes and associating themes with the codes. To reflect the maker experiences and answer the research questions, themes were interpreted through the literature and through the distinct characteristics of maker experiences. Thesis have multiple outcomes including the maker approaches and relations within their world making activity of design. Makers take part in the ecology of competences, which in turn re-constitute makers with different skills and perspectives in their relations. They learn, repair and hack things during the experimental processes of making. They appropriate industrial products in their everyday life depending on their personal matter of concern. Through the mediation of post-industrial production and communication technologies, makers apply various practices in the explorative processes of making. Emergent agencies during the interaction of entities in maker practices, re-generate the maker identity capable of transforming practical and symbolic meanings in design. Makers re-define design practices through assembling the seperated skills, roles and expertises during the industrialization processes of the production. Makers develop self-expertise through interacting with the agency of competences generated in the maker ecology. Makers overcome the division of the labor through building relations between cognitive and practical skills in the experimental process of making and learning. Makers generate critical debates on the use of technology and the production-consumption cycles of things. The emerging outcomes of practices re-constitute the relation of the makers within the world. They produce material and social effects to overcome the dichotomies and the predetermined perspectives on the agency of entities. Through attributing to the relational and dynamic sense of agency, makers become capable of transforming the society and the daily life practices such as working, learning, thinking. Beside the maker agency, emergent agencies during the performances of human and non-human actors generate unexpected outcomes in which human intention, intuition and experience have partial roles. Appropriation and interpretation of makers generate various artworks, things, materials, tools, machines which in turn re-constitute the maker agency in the daily life. Autonomous character of agency in maker practices re-constitute the creative individuality through self-reliance and self-productivity. The borders of the creative practices become blurred and emergent agencies continuously re-define the design expertise. Through publicly available debates of makers on technology usage and the relation of things with the life of the users, agency of making practices becomes dynamic, immaterial and social. As a result, agency in maker practices is distributed, extended and emergent during the socio-material relations of humans and non-humans. Agency reflects a dynamic and hybrid character of various actors through the collective productivity, competence acquisition and interpreting the usages in maker ecology. During the interaction of makers with various actors, distinct matter of concerns emerge and have a transformative effect in the society. Contemporarily interpreted practices of working, learning, instructing, sharing and interacting emerge through employing the post-industrial technologies and the collective power of productivity in maker network. The agency of maker network move beyonds the sum power of the entities that exercise agency in the individual level. Agency extends in different times and spaces through the distributed and the emergent characters of maker assemblages in action.
