Uses, from appropriation to design

language: french

abstract: This text works around a central question on thinking uses and user in Design, conceived as an abstract and at the same time a creative process: what does the Design make of the user’s notion? In other words, how does it use it? How does it integrate it into the heart of its professional practices? This analysis naturally crosses two disciplinary approaches, that of the Design, and that of the information and communication Sciences which worked to define the use in connection with a technical object; the idea will thus be to show the sliding of the appropriation and the uses from the later to the former.
