| Abstract: | |
| In this 2-session workshop we will introduce methods for analyzing talk, gesture and body behavior in interaction that are not tied to the particular mode of production - that is, we will introduce "mode-free" methods of analysis. The workshop will include brief lectures, data analysis exercises and an opportunity, in the second session, to apply the methods to one's own videotaped data. We will introduce elementary forms of 'action adjustment' that can be found in talk, gesture, body behavior and object use, and we will apply these to the sequential analysis of (multimodal) interaction. We will focus on assimilating descriptions of body behavior into the analysis of 1. action sequencing (with special attention given to competing lines of action) and 2. repair (with special attention given to remediation of 'body trouble'). To receive full consideration, applications for admission to the workshop should be sent to Lerner@soc.ucsb.edu by 1 June 2010. (Later applications will be considered if space is available.) The application should include a brief description of current research as well as background and prior training in conversation analysis. In addition, briefly describe the character of the field recordings you plan to bring to the workshop. |
