I think i might have to disagree with Chris on this one (i don't do that too often). I think the level that people like Tony Dunne work at is very much inspiration and provocation for the discipline...navel gazing to take a negative slant on it. However from the little that i have experience of the UI/UE world, they are simultaneously crying out for this bigger picture, this critique on cultural value etc. The only difference is that they need it in their own language. Maybe what Paul is getting at is that the lexicon and points of reference need re-positioning. Creating a new, iterative process that embeds usability design into the larger context all the time. By all account,s its not an easy thing to do since on a first pass they seem at odds with each other. That's my two pence anyway. Nice post…i skimmed over the paper by Paul too.

Put another way its "audience" is practioners themselves, not clients and end-users. Thanks for the heads-up on this. I will look for the Sengers/CTP stuff as well.
