Intimate Skin-To-Skin Touch in Social Encounters: Lamination of Embodied Intertwinings

Author(s): Asta Cekaite / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2018

Recent work on intercorporeality in social interaction has clear and unmistakable origins in Chuck and Candy Goodwin’s early, bold and explorative work. Inspired by the mentorship of Gail Jefferson, the Goodwins laid the ground for an analytical approach that takes into account the simultaneity of actions and the inherently embodied character of sociality (see Goodwin, Cekaite In press). This approach gives concrete shape to the theoretical perspective that discusses human sense-making between corporeal subjects, that is, intercorporeality as a primordial feature of the physicality and materiality of bodily existence (Merleau- Ponty 1964: 175). Thus, language is crucial for meaning making (Linell 2009), but it is embedded and choreographed within evolving contextual configurations (Goodwin, C. 2000). It is the juxtaposition and lamination of multiple resources that mutually enrich each other and constitute ground for meaning making between humans. This thought provoking conceptualization has not only allowed us to tread new paths in research on social interaction, but has also contributed to our understanding and theorizing of human sociality, and provided rich empirical work demonstrating that human intersubjectivity is embodied, i.e., intercorporeal.

Life in the Co-operative Transformation Zone

Author(s): Donald Favareau / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2018

There’s not much strange about the friendship that Chuck Goodwin and I share – we are not that far apart in age, he was my advisor when I was a graduate student at UCLA, we both come from East Coast, at least quasi-Irish Catholic beginnings, and we share a broad interest in animal behaviour and the workings of nature more generally. What appears to remain puzzling to many of our colleagues though, is the intense fascination that each of us has with the other’s work – work that could not be more different, under most conventional accountings.

Thirty-Nine Seconds of Video

Author(s): John B. Haviland / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2018

After working for several years with three deaf siblings from a small family in Mexico who have developed their own family sign language, without contact with other deaf people or other sign languages, I began to wonder what it would have been like if our studies of interaction had begun not – as mine did – with written renderings of spoken language but with the experiences of people more like my signing friends. I thus picked a small piece of interaction – just thirty-nine seconds recorded in my lab at UCSD at its inaugural workshop on December 7, 2007 – to reflect about what such a different investigative trajectory might have looked like.

Dwelling, Construing, and Accidental Features

Author(s): Makoto Hayashi / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2018

Chuck Goodwin’s influence permeates my work. So much so that it is difficult to pinpoint where and how it manifests itself in my research. More than anything, Chuck taught me (and many other people, I’m sure) how to see things in the data and in the world we inhabit. I learned this in many ways, e.g., from reading his writings, attending his lectures, etc. But, by far, the best learning experience I had with Chuck was one-on-one work sessions we used to have when I had the privilege of spending a year at UCLA as a visiting graduate student back in 1997–98.

For Chuck

Author(s): John Heritage / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2018

I will never forget my first encounter with Chuck Goodwin. We were both attendees at a conference organized by George Psathas and Jeff Coulter at Boston University: The 1st Summer Institute on Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis. It was June 1975, humid and stifl ing, and there were to be two days of presentations. Both Harold Garfinkel and Harvey Sacks – in Boston for teaching at the summer school, of which the Institute was an adjunct – were present as audience members. It was my first direct contact with them, and indeed, with anyone doing ethnomethodology or conversation analysis in America. And I was about to discover what ‘detail’ in the analysis of interaction could look like!

Transformative Knowledge

Author(s): Shimako Iwasaki / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2018

I was extremely privileged to study with Chuck at UCLA during the blossoming of studies of multimodal and embodied interaction, and the notion of co-operative action. My interest in the embodied actions of hearers drew me to UCLA to study with Chuck. Between Chuck and Manny Schegloff , who were co-chairs of my dissertation, I learned how to collect, transcribe, analyze and present situated social interaction as well as how to see and think about them from new critical perspectives. I do not know how I can express my gratitude for immense inspiration, countless guidance, and continued support that Chuck has provided since 2001 when I started my Ph.D. at UCLA.

A Letter for Chuck Goodwin

Author(s): Adam Kendon / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2018

Dear Chuck, I think the first time I ever became aware of your work was in the spring of 1973. It must have been at UCLA which I visited as a result of an invitation that Michael Moerman had arranged. On this occasion, as I recall, I also visited Irvine, and met Harvey Sacks, even stayed with him for a night in his Geodesic Dome house. Either at UCLA or perhaps during my visit to Irvine (I cannot now recall precisely) I joined a “data session” with Moerman, Schegloff , Sacks, Gail Jeff erson and perhaps one or two others, where we went over a video called “Auto Discussion”.

“It Goes Without Saying”

Author(s): Timothy Koschmann / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2018

The one and only time I had an opportunity to sit down and chat with Harold Garfinkel, he talked at length about a comment once made by Stanley Fish. Fish (1967) had noted that though Christ’s name is never mentioned in Paradise Lost, his presence is sensed in every line written by Milton. His name, it would seem, is present by virtue of not being stated. As Harold put it, “it goes without saying.” How things come to mean was an obsession for Garfinkel, as it is for Fish, though they tend to work the topic from different angles. It has been an obsession throughout his career for Chuck Goodwin as well.

Exploring the Endogenous Pedagogies of Competent Worlds

Author(s): Oskar Lindwall,Jonas Ivarsson,Gustav Lymer,Mikaela Åberg / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2018

Throughout his career, Chuck Goodwin has pushed and transcended disciplinary boundaries. In his work, we find strong connections to anthropology, linguistics, and sociology. He has addressed themes central to cognitive science, philosophy, and semiotics. Even though his research is sometimes classifi ed as linguistic anthropology or applied linguistics, he has been careful in emphasizing that the phenomena he sets out to analyze require an approach that draws on different disciplinary perspectives. In a non-trivial way, it is the material that Goodwin works with, his video recordings of people engaging in various activities together, that drives his analyses and conceptualizations.

The Dynamics of Contexts in Sense-Making

This essay is mainly a theoretical inquiry in which I delineate a dynamic theory of contexts, to be embedded within a dialogical theory of sense-making (Linell 2009).

Professional and Transparent Vision

Author(s): Michael Lynch / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2018

Chuck Goodwin has long been recognized, and rightly so, for his major role in establishing video analysis for research in Conversation Analysis (CA), and for developing creative ways to present extracts and screen shots from video recordings. In the early 1970s, when portable video cameras and recorders became available at reasonable cost, Harvey Sacks and some of his students at UC, Irvine (particularly Blaine Roberts, whose fellow students dubbed him “Captain Video”), explored the audio-visual production of ordinary interaction. Sacks was particularly interested in using video, not only to supplement the analysis of turn-taking and sequential analysis, which by then was on solid footing, but also to discover phenomena that otherwise were not apparent in audio recordings and transcripts.

Encounters with Chuck: Man with a Video Camera

Author(s): Paul McIlvenny,Pirkko Raudaskoski / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2018

We first met Chuck at the 2nd International Congress of Activity Theory (ISCRAT) conference in Lahti, Finland, in May 1990. It was an unusual meeting of Russian, European and North American scholars, with a strong contingent of ethnomethodologists and conversation analysts interested in workplace studies and computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW). At that time (1989–1991), Chuck was heavily involved in the Xerox Parc airport study run by Lucy Suchman (Goodwin, C., Goodwin, M.H. 1996) and he presented a paper intriguingly entitled ‘Hunting the snark: Interaction, technology and collaborative work on a scientific research vessel.’ Shortly afterwards, we joined Chuck and Candy in Helsinki for a two-week long, closed workshop on video and talk-in-interaction organised by Auli Hakulinen.

At the Moment of Speaking: Creation of Contexts

Author(s): David McNeill / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2018

For my part in the celebration of Chuck Goodwin’s accomplishments, I return to the past to show the alignment of the 1987 essay to follow with the expansive ideas of context he and Alessandro Duranti put forth in their 1992 book, Rethinking Context. Reading their description of context as inseparable from language and as dynamic was both a starting point and a way forward for my message.

Multiple Perspectives on the Same Event: Professional Vision, Tactility, and Embodied Feeling

Author(s): Helen Melander / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2018

A recurrent theme in Chuck Goodwin’s development of a theoretical framework for the analysis of human action, is the focus on knowledge and encounters between novices and experts, dating from the seminal and often cited article “Professional vision” (1994) to more recent work such as “Participation, stance and affect in the organization of activities” (2007) and “The co-operative, transformative organization of human action and knowledge” (2013). In these and other texts, Goodwin has, in thought-provoking, fruitful, and inspiring ways, empirically and theoretically explored the interactive organization of apprenticeship and how novices become epistemically competent actors through engaging in co-operative action together with more experienced participants. The focus on knowledge and epistemics encompasses on the one hand a focus on how “[t]he ability to create through practice the meaningful actions and objects that animate work, knowledge and discourse within specific communities requires that one be a competent member of that community” (Goodwin 2013: 19).

Co-Constructing Wor(l)ds in Aphasia Speech Therapy

Author(s): Sara Merlino / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2018

I had the honour and pleasure to look at some of the data presented in this paper with Chuck, Candy and the scholars attending the Co-Operative Action Lab, during the fall semester 2015 I spent at UCLA as research visitor. Some of the ideas developed in this paper come from those discussions. On that occasion, I did not only meet an amazing and inspiring analyst, but also an extremely sensitive and generous person. Chuck and Candy’s hospitality was invaluable, both intellectually and personally.

The Interactiveness of ‘Unilateral’ Activity in Child’s Play

Author(s): Emi Morita / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2018

When I first took Chuck’s seminar as a graduate student, I had little understanding what Chuck’s enterprise was all about. Not being a native English speaker, I must say that I was oft en unable to follow Chuck’s machine-gun like talk at first, and especially when he got excited about the data that I and the other students had brought to class to study. In fact, many of my fellow non-native speaking students would wind up bringing tape-recorders to class, recording Chuck’s brilliant impromptu analyses, and later playing the tape back at slower speeds, in order to understand all that he was saying. But no matter how hard we tried to analyze our data like Chuck did, what we would come up with would be superficial imitation in comparison.

Objects of Cooperation: An Experience of Moving House

Author(s): Maurice Nevile / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2018

I offer some observations on a personal experience of interacting with others to help someone to ‘move house’, that is to move objects, ordinary household lived-with things, from one residential location to another. They were developed as an after-the-event reflection, rather than a designed and systematic research endeavour, so I do not present the kind of detailed transcriptions and analyses typical of Chuck Goodwin’s studies across numerous settings.

Aspect-Seeing in the Interactional Organization of Activities

Author(s): Aug Nishizaka / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2018

Vision is one among the several important topics that Charles Goodwin has been studying. He radically de-psychologized vision by re-specifying it as what is publicly achieved in the unfolding distinct activity rather than what is privately lodged in the mind or the brain (Goodwin 1994).

On the Diversity of Signs in Human Interaction

Author(s): Jack Sidnell / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2018

Both Saussure and Wittgenstein argue that we must free ourselves from the pervasive and widely held misconception that language is fundamentally a system of names for objects in the world: that it is a nomenclature. However, these two great pioneers of modern language study follow very different paths to reach this conclusion.

Mapping Talk, Body, and the World with Charles Goodwin

Author(s): Mick Sean Smith / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2018

Charles Goodwin’s approach to interaction to shares an affinity with many of participants and communities that he investigates. This is especially true when we consider his most recent work with geo-scientists conducting fieldwork in wilderness settings. When we consider this and other examples of Chuck’s work, we see interaction being treated as much as a spatial problem, as it is a temporal or intersubjective problem.
