The paper aims at restoring a central role to the culture and the culture analysis in the User Experience Research. We start by regaining the notion of context – already widely discussed by scholars in the HCI field – and we come to discuss ethnography not more as a method for design, but as a “theoretical and methodological framework” that allows UX researchers to gain access to the sphere of shared and constructed meanings that create a specific socio-cultural context.

Abstract
The paper aims at restoring a central role to the culture and the culture analysis in the User Experience Research. We start by regaining the notion of context – already widely discussed by scholars in the HCI field – and we come to discuss ethnography not more as a method for design, but as a “theoretical and methodological framework” that allows UX researchers to gain access to the sphere of shared and constructed meanings that create a specific socio-cultural context.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
