Social Interaction. Video-Based Studies of Human Sociality
https://tidsskrift.dk/socialinteraction
<p><em>Social Interaction. Video-Based Studies of Human Sociality</em> is dedicated to studying action and sense-making practices in social interaction. It focuses typically on workplace settings and their constitutive features as made visible through participants’ conduct and the social organization of the setting. The journal welcomes scholarly papers that provide new insights through state of the art research of naturally occurring human action as situated in the material world. Papers will typically analyze how participants draw on bodily, tangible, vocal, verbal and other resources to make sense and accomplish orderly courses of social interaction.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics University of Copenhagenen-USSocial Interaction.

https://tidsskrift.dk/socialinteraction/article/view/143519
<p style="font-weight: 400;">This study examines multiactivity in video-mediated business-to-business sales encounters. By drawing on multimodal conversation analysis, the paper examines how representatives of a legal service company navigate between talk-in-interaction with prospective clients and operating with a presentation on a shared screen where the sold service is demonstrated. The findings show how the technological affordances of MS Teams and PowerPoint are used to coordinate the presentation-orientation and prospect-orientation in a complex digital-social environment in order to display engagement in multiple technological and social actions simultaneously. The paper contributes, firstly, to the field of B2B sales interaction by showing how technology transforms the meetings into arenas of multiactivity, where the presenter has to navigate between their on-screen actions and their remote co-participants. Secondly, the paper contributes to the field of video-mediated interaction by illustrating how technological affordances are used to maintain both the progressivity and interactivity of the video-mediated meeting.</p>Elina SalomaaLaura Kohonen-AhoSilja Martikainen

https://tidsskrift.dk/socialinteraction/article/view/144223
<p>This article investigates how a digital chat tool is used during a face-to-face workshop where it is projected on a screen for everyone to see. Importantly, the chat is not used as an interactional tool but rather, in an unconventional way, as an archive for photographs the participants have taken for a workshop task. Thus, in order to discuss the photographs, the facilitator using the computer needs to navigate in the digital space with the help of the photographer to find each photograph. Drawing on multimodal conversation analysis and the concept of affordance, we show how the participants, during the course of the workshop, adapt to the task-relevant affordances and learn to conduct the navigation in an increasingly collaborative fashion.</p>Piia MikkolaEsa LehtinenRiikka Nissi

https://tidsskrift.dk/socialinteraction/article/view/147183
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In this study, we aim to find out what happens in moments of collaborative situations when a response is treated as missing, irrelevant, or insufficient, how such moments are handled, and what underlying interactional trouble those instances can reveal. The data are video recordings from multinational military observer training. Using the method of ethnomethodological conversation analysis (EMCA), we examine a team of two people taking part in a simulated patrolling exercise. We focus on instances when one team member, the driver, attempts to get the other, the team leader, to verbalise or confirm some decision regarding a future (joint) action.</p>Antti KamunenIira Rautiainen

2024-10-312024-10-317410.7146/si.v7i4.147183The Temporal Organisation of Leaning in Social Interaction
https://tidsskrift.dk/socialinteraction/article/view/152386
<p style="font-weight: 400;">EMCA research has documented how the moving human body is a core resource for sense-making. This means that people engaged in interaction are constantly foraging for materials from which to fashion their contributions (Goodwin, 2018). Co-participants, in turn, are faced with a set of raw materials being mobilised and potentially used as resources for sense-making. In this paper, we focus on a particular bodily movement, learning forward. The unsupported lean is temporally organized and bringing the body off balance projects that the lean will be resolved. The study uses video-data from a range of institutional settings to explore how a leaning body is treated as indexing a range of social actions. We discuss this as having emerged from the human capacity to stand upright, and a shared knowledge of the additional exertion required to counteract gravitational forces when bringing the upper body off its vertical axis.</p>Kristian MortensenSpencer Hazel
