“Agonism is a condition of disagreement and confrontation–a condition of contestation and dissensus.”

“In labelling an object as adversarial, I mean to call attention to the contestational relations and experiences aroused through the designed thing and the way it expresses dissensus.”

- Carl DiSalvo, Adversarial Design

“In contrast to Newton and Schopenhauer, you ancestor did not believe in uniform, absolute time. He believed in an infinite series of times, in a growing, dizzying net of divergent, convergent and parallel times. This network of times which approached one another for centuries, embraces all possibilities of time. We do not exist in the majority of these times; in some you exist, and not I; in others I and not you; in others, both of us.”

- Borges, Garden of Forking Paths

“As I do in this inquiry into objects, Björgvinsson, Ehn, and Hillgren use agonism as an analytical frame for the activities and outcomes of participatory design. In the same way as extending adversarial design from an analytic to a generative frame for the making of objects, we can also imagine agonism as a generative frame for participatory design.”

- Carl DiSalvo, Adversarial Design
