Jensen, Mikkel and Sogaard, Mads (2004): Refocusing the contextual turn: the forgotten construction of meaning at the interface. In: Proceedings of the Third Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction October 23-27, 2004, Tampere, Finland. pp. 185-188. Available online

This paper describes the gap between contextual understanding and design at the interface-level. It traces what can be termed the 'Contextual Turn of HCI', a turn from researching the-thing-in-itself, as epitomised by the cognitivist approach, to the thing-in-context, as observed in especially the Nordic HCI tradition. We argue that we have come to an excessive focus on context in preference to concrete phenomena of interaction, and we suggest that the reason may be the lack of a theoretical framework covering the concrete while complimenting the contextual focus. We propose Cognitive Linguistics and Cognitive Semantics as disciplines where such a theoretical framework may be found.

Computer programs emerge as the outcome of complex human processes of cognition, communication and negotiation, which serve to establish the meaningful embedding of the computer system in its intended use context.

-- Floyd, 1992, p. 24
