  • Conversation Analysis and Institutional Talk: Analyzing Distinctive Turn-Taking Systems
    Conversation Analysis and Institutional Talk: Analyzing Distinctive Turn-Taking Systems John Heritage, UCLA In: S.Cmejrková, J.Hoffmannová, O.Müllerová and J.Svetlá (1998) (eds.) Proceedings of the 6th International Congresss of IADA (International Association for Dialog Analysis), Tubingen: Niemeyer, pp.3-17. 2 Introduction In the thirty years since its inception, conversation analysis has emerged as a major, and distinctively sociological, contribution to the analysis of discourse. During this time, discourse analysis has acquired considerable prominence as a field of inquiry. Correspondingly, conversation analysis has grown and diversified in many different directions. The sociological origins of conversation analysis are to be found in the work of two great American originators: Erving Goffman and Harold Garfinkel. With Goffman (1955; 1983), conversation analysts begin with the notion that conversational interaction represents an institutional order sui generis in which interactional rights and obligations are linked not only to personal face and identity, but also to macro-social institutions. With Garfinkel (1967), conversation analysts recognize that analyzing the institution of conversation in terms of rules and practices that impose moral obligations, in the way that Goffman stressed, needs to be supplemented by recognizing the importance of intersubjectivity. In particular, this means focusing on how interactional rules and practices are ceaselessly drawn upon by the participants in constructing shared and specific understandings of 'where they are' within a social interaction. Central to this process is a 'reflexive' dimension in social action: by their actions participants exhibit an analysis or an understanding of the event in which they are engaged, but by acting they also make an interactional contribution that moves the event itself forward on the basis of that analysis.

  • Miguel García-Sancho Talks with Karin Knorr Cetina
    Engaging Science, Technology, and Society 4 (2018), 246-266 DOI:10.17351/ests2018.239 “These Were Not Boring Meetings”: Miguel García-Sancho Talks with Karin Knorr Cetina MIGUEL GARCÍA-SANCHO1 UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH KARIN KNORR CETINA2 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO Abstract In this interview, Karin Knorr Cetina evokes the first Annual Meeting of the Society for Social Studies of Science at Cornell University in 1976 as a foundational moment for science and technology studies (STS). This conference consolidated a new approach to the study of science based on the anthropological observation of scientists at work in the laboratory. Knorr Cetina argues that, despite geographically cementing in the United States, this approach originated mainly through the work of European scholars. The years that followed the Cornell meeting were marked by intense debates between the defenders of this anthropological approach and other scholars more focused on ideas than on scientific practice. Knorr Cetina describes these debates as “bloodbaths” and recalls having first coined the term “constructivist” as applied to science studies in 1977. For Knorr Cetina, STS is now shifting its attention from the production to the consumption of technoscientific knowledge. Her current interest in the financial markets and other forms of screen technologies is an example of this transition. She argues that STS needs to overcome its current fragmentation and emphasis in isolated case studies. The establishment of basic research centers with the financial resources to develop collective and long-term programs would help scholars to expand their horizons. In his following reflection, Miguel García-Sancho explores the connections between STS and travel in both a sense of intellectual shift and a more mundane meaning of physical movement.

  • "Context" Within Conversation Analysis
    Raclaw: Approaches to "Context" within Conversation Analysis Approaches to "Context" within Conversation Analysis Joshua Raclaw University of Colorado This paper examines the use of "context" as both a participant’s and an analyst’s resource with conversation analytic (CA) research. The discussion focuses on the production and definition of context within two branches of CA, "traditional CA" and "institutional CA". The discussion argues against a single, monolithic understanding of "context" as the term is often used within the CA literature, instead highlighting the various ways that the term is used and understood by analysts working across the different branches of CA. The paper ultimately calls for further reflexive discussions of analytic practice among analysts, similar to those seen in other areas of sociocultural linguistic research. 1. Introduction The concept of context has been a critical one within sociocultural linguistics. The varied approaches to the study of language and social interaction – linguistic, anthropological, sociological, and otherwise – each entail the particulars for how the analyst defines the context in which language is produced. Goodwin and Duranti (1992) note the import of the term within the field of pragmatics (citing Morris 1938; Carnap 1942; Bar-Hillel 1954; Gazdar 1979; Ochs 1979; Levinson 1983; and Leech 1983), anthropological and ethnographic studies of language use (citing Malinowski 1923, 1934; Jakobson 1960; Gumperz and Hymes 1972; Hymes 1972, 1974; and Bauman and Sherzer 1974), and quantitative and variationist sociolinguistics (citing Labov 1966, 1972a, and 1972b).1 To this list we can add a number of frameworks for doing socially-oriented discourse analysis, including conversation analysis (CA), critical discourse analysis (CDA), and discursive psychology (DP).

This chapter provides a basic characterization of CA as an explication of the ways in which conversationalists maintain an interactional social order. I describe its emergence as a discipline of its own, confronting recordings of telephone calls with notions derived from Harold Garfinkel’s ethnomethodology and Erving Goffman’s conceptual studies of an interaction order. Later developments in CA are covered in broad terms. Finally, the general outline and purpose of the book is explained. What is ‘conversation analysis’? People talking together,‘conversation’, is one of the most mundane of all topics. It has been available for study for ages, but only quite recently,in the early 1960s, has it gained the serious and sustained attention of scientific investigation. Before then, what was written on the subject was mainly normative: how one should speak, rather than how people actually speak. The general impression was that ordinary conversation is chaotic and disorderly. It was only with the advent of recording devices, and the willingness and ability to study such a mundane phenomenon in depth, that ‘the order of conversation’ – or rather, as we shall see, a multiplicity of ‘orders’ – was discovered.

    Excerpts Encyclopedia of Social Theory I Postsocial, Symbolic Interaction, Social Interaction, Social Constructionism, Latour Title: Postsocial Author(s): Karin Knorr Cetina Source: Encyclopedia of Social Theory. Ed. George Ritzer. Vol. 2. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Reference, 2005. p585-590. POSTSOCIAL Postsocial analysis attempts to develop an understanding of current changes of social forms and of sociality in general. Broadly speaking, what postsocial theory aspires to is the analysis and discussion of an environment in which the social principles and structures we have known hitherto are emptying out and other elements and relationships are taking their place. While it may be correct that human beings are by nature social animals, forms of sociality are nonetheless changing, and the change may be pronounced in periods of cumulative historical transitions. The term postsocial shines an analytic light on contemporary transitions that challenge core concepts of human interaction and solidarity and that point beyond a period of high social formation to one of more limited sociality and alternative forms of binding self and other. Postsocial developments are sustained by changes in the structure of the self; these changes are captured by models that break with Meadian and Freudian ideas proposed during a period of high sociality and that emphasize the autoaffective side of the self and its nonsocial engagements. The notion postsocial refers to the massive expansion of object worlds in the social world and to the rise of work and leisure environments that promote and demand relations with objects. A postsocial environment is one where objects displace human beings as relationship partners and embedding environments, or where they increasingly mediate human relationships, making the latter dependent upon the former.

  • Ethnomethodology and Literacy Research: a Methodological “Road Less Travelled”
    English Teaching: Practice and Critique May, 2012, Volume 11, Number 1 http://education.waikato.ac.nz/research/files/etpc/files/2012v11n1art2.pdf pp. 26-42 Ethnomethodology and literacy research: A methodological “road less travelled” CHRISTINA DAVIDSON Charles Sturt University, Australia ABSTRACT: This article examines ethnomethodology in order to consider its particular yet under-used perspective within literacy research. Initially, the article outlines ethnomethodology, including its theoretical position and central concepts such as indexicality and reflexivity. Then, selected studies are used to illustrate the application of the methodology and related research methods to the examination of literacy and literacy instruction. This section delineates a number of constraints on the application of the methodology. These include respecification of topic as practical accomplishment, bracketing by researchers of a priori interests and background information to produce unmotivated looking, and meticulous analytic attention to locally produced social phenomenon often only made visible in fine details of transcripts. Ethnomethodology’s contribution is discussed then in light of criticisms concerning the overly restricted nature of the methodology, or some versions of it. It is concluded that despite ongoing critique, the application of ethnomethodology to literacy research may: reveal taken-for-granted ways literacy lessons are accomplished, lead to the description and explication of social actions that constitute literacy instruction, and enhance existing theoretical models of literacy learning and teaching. KEY WORDS: Ethnomethodology; conversation analysis; social interaction; literacy; English. INTRODUCTION Ethnomethodology is a research methodology that originated in American sociology during the 1950s. Harold Garfinkel first developed the approach which was considered controversial at the time because of its critique of the use of theory and quantitative methods of analysis in mainstream sociology (Hester & Francis, 2000).

  • 34 Conversation Analysis and Anthropology
    34 Conversation Analysis and Anthropology IGNASI CLEMENTE Hunter College, CUNY 1 Introduction In this chapter, I discuss the relationship between Anthropology and Conversation Analysis (CA). After briefl y describing what Anthropology is and the intellectual history of the relationship between Anthropology and CA, I focus on the ways in which each fi eld has infl uenced the other. Anthropology is the study of the human species in its present and past diversity from a holistic and empirical perspective. With this wide - ranging and inclusive approach to the study of the human experience, North American Anthropology is made up of four subfi elds: sociocultural anthropology, physical anthropology, archeology, and linguistic anthropology. Culture is considered a central aspect of what makes us human, but anthropologists do not share a single defi nition of culture. In fact, defi nitions of and disagreements about culture abound across anthropological subfi elds and theoretical approaches. Duranti (1997a) devotes an entire chapter of his linguistic anthropology textbook to present six defi nitions of culture: culture as (i) distinct from nature, (ii) knowledge, (iii) communication, (iv) a system of mediation, (v) a system of practices, and (vi) systems of participation. Despite the differences, a general understanding exists around a defi nition of culture as the component of human experience that is not biologically transmitted, but rather learned and passed among and between populations across time and space. To study culture, anthropologists often conduct in situ observation and data collection to create an ethnography (Malinowski, 1967 [1922]). Ethnography is “ thick ” description (Geertz, 1973 ) of human social phenomena in the natural and local settings within which they emerge and acquire meaning.

  • Conversation Analysis
    Hoey, E. M. & Kendrick, K. H. (in press). Conversation Analysis. In A. M. B. de Groot & P. Hagoort (eds.), Research Methods in Psycholinguistics: A Practical Guide. Wiley Blackwell. Conversation Analysis Elliott M. Hoey Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics Kobin H. Kendrick Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics Abstract Conversation Analysis (CA) is an inductive, micro-analytic, and predominantly qualitative method for studying human social interactions. This chapter describes and illustrates the basic methods of CA. We first situate the method by describing its sociological foundations, key areas of analysis, and particular approach in using naturally occurring data. The bulk of the chapter is devoted to practical explanations of the typical conversation analytic process for collecting data and producing an analysis. We analyze a candidate interactional practice – the assessment- implicative interrogative – using real data extracts as a demonstration of the method, explicitly laying out the relevant questions and considerations for every stage of an analysis. The chapter concludes with some discussion of quantitative approaches to conversational interaction, and links between CA and psycholinguistic concerns. Keywords: conversation analysis, social interaction, qualitative research methods, naturalistic observation, sequence organization, turn taking, repair, social action, assessments Acknowledgments We thank Gene Lerner for granting us access and permission to some of the data used in this chapter. We also thank Will Schuerman
