The user reconfigured: On subjectivities of information

Interaction design researchers are increasingly focusing on the changing roles of the user. The user, working within ergonomic limits, enacts the input-output cycle to complete tasks. The concept of subjectivities gets at how these roles are diversely embodied and performed with IT systems. Subject positions are structural, so they can be analyzed using any approach that exposes policies, laws, responsibilities, taboos, constraints, expectations, skills, capabilities, and so on as they are manifested in information systems.
