“…A few other researchers (Chalmers & Galani 2004;Galloway 2008;Rogers 2006) also drew our attention to the limitations and misunderstandings about the idea of invisibility in Ubicomp. Rogers (2006) argued that a new direction for Ubicomp was needed in order to bring back "excitement of interaction" and to "augment the human intellect so that people can perform ever greater feats, extending their ability to learn, make decisions, reason, create, solve complex problems and generate innovative ideas' (Rogers 2006, p. 8).…”

Context-aware technologies increasingly become more integrated into people's everyday lives, providing adaptive services in seamless ways that make many everyday tasks and activities more practical and automated. However, this seamless automation of services may prevent people from reflecting on the opportunities offered by their surroundings. The perspective proposed in this paper invites designers to rethink the role of context-aware technologies as mediators of humans' capacity to reflectively engage with their surroundings. Drawing upon the design qualities offered by seamful design and New Brutalism movement, the paper offers two ways in which contextaware technologies can support reflective engagement: visibility of technology and visibility through technology.

“…Están unidos, en cualquier caso, por su condición de variantes de discursos hegemónicos que construyen el imaginario de la SC. Estos discursos han sido sustentados mayoritariamente por los agentes del proceso de negociación tecnológica (Galloway, 2008) que podemos considerar mainstream. Este grupo de agentes es una heterogénea amalgama de diferentes organizaciones (Future Cities Catapult, 2014) entre las que destacan empresas, centros de investigación y conocimiento, instituciones públicas, instituciones intermedias de todo tipo, líderes de opinión, organismos multilaterales o medios de comunicación generalista y especializada.…”

ResumenEl planteamiento de la presente tesis se basa en la revisión del discurso subyacente en la visión predominante de las smart cities como imaginario tecnológico generalizado en la agenda de las políticas urbanas. El objetivo principal es ofrecer un marco de análisis para comprender las preconcepciones que están detrás de la narrativa de las ciudades inteligentes tal como ha sido presentado por sus proponentes más destacados. Este imaginario discursivo y práctico remite a una serie de conceptos teóricos y supuestos beneficios con fuertes implicaciones en la configuración de las políticas urbanas y a las que se ha atendido escasamente hasta ahora. Dichos elementos son enmarcados por los actores dominantes del discurso a través de un nuevo régimen discursivo sobre la ciudad y sobre la tecnología con unas consecuencias inmediatas sobre la vida en la ciudad y sobre el papel de las políticas urbanas. Desarrollamos para eso un marco analítico para entender el despliegue de la smart city como imaginario a través de un régimen discursivo particular, y realizamos una disección de sus argumentos explícitos y consecuencias implícitas como marco de referencia urbano, utilizando para ello el concepto de mito como significantes ideológicos que soportan esta narrativa. Partiendo de su caracterización como imaginario hegemónico, planteamos en último lugar su carácter particular y su capacidad de pasar de la representación simbólica a la encarnación en la realidad a través de proyectos que están transformando las ciudades contemporáneas. AbstractThe approach of this thesis disertation is based on the review of the underlying narrative from the prevailing view of the smart cities as widespread technological imagery on the agenda of urban policies. The main objective is to provide an analytical framework for understanding the preconceptions behind the narrative of smart cities as it has been presented by its leading proponents. This discursive and practical imaginary refers to a series of theoretical concepts and benefits with strong implications in reshaping urban policies, which have been poorly attended so far. These elements are framed by the dominant players of speech through a new discursive regime over cities and technology with some immediate impact on city life and the role of urban policies. We develop an analytical framework for understanding the deployment of the smart city as imaginary through a particular discursive regime, and perform a dissection of its explicit arguments and implied consequences as part of urban reference, using the concept of myth as signifiers ideological supporting this narrative. Based on its characterization as a hegemonic imaginary, we define its ability to move from the symbolic to the embodiment in reality representation through projects that are transforming contemporary cities.
