Thinking as a Personal Problem and Incorporating “Outside” by Design: A Review of Today’s Development of the Workshop on Town Management
Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: In this paper, I analyze the governmentality of workshops in town management. “Community Design” proposes methods to take the problems of the town as one’s own and to solve the problems while managing the team by oneself. “Design Thinking” is completely workshop-like, the idea being to feed on the mistakes and criticisms of the process for the next step forward. These elements are incorporated in today’s town management, especially in creative space design. It appears difficult for sociologists to become involved in situations where there is no “outside” of the workshop. However, I think what sociologists can do is offer a standard and ambiguous description.
