Design with More than Humans: Reimagining Social Biomimicry through Collaborations in Learning, Performance and Coauthorship

稲村, 徳州, サラントゥ, メラニー

The aim of this paper is to explore the roles and transformative potential of co-authorship with more than humans (MTHs) through biomimetics. Specifically, how can social biomimicry be reimagined through collaborations in learning, performative practices and co-authorship? Furthermore, how can such collaborations inform models of shared learning spaces for new knowledge transformation in society? To address these questions, this paper presents two case studies on the Nakagawa (Naka river) in Fukuoka (Japan), and the Kemi river in northern Finland. Methodological approaches include ethnographic action and analysis. Several entry points for coauthorship with MTH’s through biomimicry revealed themselves, represented though the cormorant, kingfisher, dragonfly and salmon. MTH co-authorship presents opportunities to foster a new conscious and engaging push to change habits and adopt virtuous behaviours and attitudes of collaborative learning that encompass plural design and transition. Biomimicry through explorative, meditative, and performative practices present embodied opportunities for such behavioral and attitudinal shifts required to address societal challenges.
