abstract |
This deliverable is the third of three, reporting on the comparative evaluation of
MAZI pilots (Deliverable 3.10). Across the course of MAZI, the pilots have engaged
with communities in different ways, for different purposes. Common to all pilots has
been the focus on using and developing the MAZI toolkit in order to facilitate Do-It-Yourself
(DIY) networking. This has involved collaborations characterised by inter-disciplinarity,
where academic and community partners have worked together to find effective ways
of engaging the communities in meaningful ways.
In the previous version of this deliverable (D3.9), we defined our analysis methodology,
which builds on the logic set out in the first report (D3.8). In this report, we will
discuss the results of using of Realist Evaluation (RE) to form case studies (characterised
by context, mechanism, outcome configurations) and Activity Theory (AT) to characterise
each pilot as a separate activity system. To identify the generative mechanisms, we
investigated the tensions and conflicts between the technical and semiotic levels
of the pilots’ activity systems. Evidence generated was presented alongside the insights
from the MAZI handbook to inform best practice for supporting the MAZI toolkit.
Comparing across the pilots’, we reveal tensions and conflicts between the technical
and semiotic levels of the activity systems and the generative mechanisms used to
meet the project and communities’ objectives. This emphasised the importance of understanding
the context, e.g. by valuing the time spent with communities and the importance of
learning their language and vocabularies, and respecting others capital. It revealed
mechanisms for understanding location, the importance of stories and storytelling,
designing collaborative activities and embracing opportunities for conversations.
It also echoed the need to identify key roles, guises and actors for DIY networking
and the importance of the principle of adding value rather than adding work. |
