Hi all, my intention was to provide an opening for discussion about design research epistemology without introducing the construct of 'gender', but by removing the actual bodies themselves. I saw this as a poststructuralist way to ask a question about possibilities. I wanted to see what people imagined design research might look like if either men or women were removed from its practice. This asks for an entirely different kind of imagining other than the binary of men/women. In a Foucauldian sense, power and knowledge are interrelated within the social relations between people and are (re)produced within discourses. So, I thought if you take out the bodies, what kind of discursive imagining would ensue? Any thoughts? Teena
