Jogo de cartas laços líquidos: o design como articulador de conversação e mediador de reflexão sobre os relacionamentos interpessoais

Abstract

This research project seeks to understand and reflect on modern loving relationships and experiences, taking a look at Design and the studies of emotion in the young people from Curitiba. Within this analysis, research was made to understand interpersonal relationships and their value. Due to the social isolation of the pandemic, the digital life mediated by social media, as well as social, economical and technological transformations, the way we relate to each other is going through deep changes and is becoming a lot more uncertain than it used to be. Under the theoretical inspiration of philosophy, sociology and neuroscience, as well as the provocations of Zygmund Bauman (2004), in his book Liquid Love, argues about modern bonds and the complexity of developing deep connections, arguing that relationships have become disposable and unlike old-fashioned bonds, virtual relationships arise and disappear in larger and faster amounts, where with just one “delete” button everything can be done. Therefore, a reflection will be developed through Design as a social and cultural articulator, through a card game with questions that allow reflection and conversation about human themes, such as love and relationships.
