speculative fabulation

一种设计研究方法论，通过虚构叙事来想象替代性的当下或未来，常用于挑战主流叙事、揭示被忽视的关系与缺失的想象。源自 Donna Haraway 的写作，在 HCI 与设计研究中广泛使用。

English Definition

"A design research approach that uses fictional storytelling to imagine alternative presents or futures, often employed to challenge dominant narratives and surface neglected relations or absent imaginaries."

用法说明 · 针对中文母语者

中文常译为「推测性虚构」或「推测性寓言」。与 speculative design 相关但更强调叙事性、批判性以及对隐性关系的揭示。在 CHI 等会议中常与 material speculation、autoethnography 等方法并用。

常见错误

·与 speculative design 混用——后者范畴更广，涵盖批判性物件设计
·误等同于科幻创作（science fiction），但 speculative fabulation 强调的是设计研究的方法论功能
·把 fabulation 翻译为「杜撰」会丢失其诗性叙事的意味
