Would it be so difficult to admit that “Emerging” was the wrong word to use?

No one can admit fault gracefully anymore…stupid internet. Making us all supposed geniuses.

@patricia @Tim thanks for your comments, our editors also pointed this out and we realise there is an issue with this use of the term.

Basically, we have chosen to use this title because there are some aspects of practice that just don’t translate well into written descriptions.

Some of the perhaps phenomenological, visceral or empirical aspects of actually doing the design activities that we are trying to describe are hard to capture in words, so we have chosen to lean on the slightly disruptive use of the term ‘emerging’ to convey a sense of this in the title.

As you say Tim the closest other terms might be reveal or discover, – which suggest making visible something that was already there – not the process we are trying to describe. Rather we are trying to create conditions through which something emerges – it doesn’t emerge on its own - we are active in that process.

Although it may be somewhat inadequate, in choosing to use this title we are attempting to reach towards something about the phenomenological aspects of our practice for which we find a lack of of alternative terms.

Patricia is exactly right— you cannot “Emerge” a User Experience. Emerging a User Experience is an impossible action. A user experience can emerge, but the closest action to Making Something Emerge would be “Reveal” or maybe “Discover”.

Great article. And many of these principles could be applied to all kinds of projects.

The use of ‘emerging’ in your title has left me quite perplexed. I am confused by what your deliberate meaning of this may be- the use of ‘emerging’ in the title is incorrect – ‘Emerge’ is an intransitive verb, meaning that it can take no direct object. You can’t emerge something else. Things must emerge on their own.
