Resumen

La participación comprometida de los usua­rios es un proceso social dinámico que se ve influido por quiénes participan y cómo lo hacen. Aquí sostenemos que los diseñado­res deben tener en cuenta las condiciones estructurales de la vida de los usuarios, ya que estas pueden tener implicaciones relacionadas con la seguridad, la responsa­bilidad y la política. Para comprender mejor estas consideraciones, revisamos el estado del arte en el ámbito de la configuración y la participación de los usuarios desde el punto de vista estructural de la violencia de género. Proponemos tres dimensiones que podrían ayudar a los diseñadores a profundi­zar su compromiso en este ámbito, a saber: la construcción del usuario, el compromiso con el contexto y el posicionamiento de los diseñadores. Combinamos estas dimensio­nes para generar un marco con el cual revisar y comparar, a modo de ejemplos, ciertos resultados de diseño para la prevención de la violencia de género. Este artículo sugiere reflexiones y preguntas que los diseñadores deben tener en cuenta para pensar de forma más estructural sobre el diseño y la violencia de género, así como sobre otros contextos en los que intervienen personas en situación de vulnerabilidad.
