Children’s invoking of school rules in directive sequences with adults at home and school
This paper illustrates a practice that children aged 6–10 years old deploy in response to adults’ directives both in the classroom and during homework completion at home: invoking school rules that contradict the directive. Based on 70 h of video-recorded interactions between adults and children and adopting a conversation analytic approach, the article illustrates that children invoke school rules (i.e., obligations, habits, and expectations reg…
The oncologist told me”
Based on the "patient centered approach", growing emphasis within policies has been put on patients' active participation in medical encounters. Consistently, research has investigated patients' initiatives during medical visits in a wide array of settings and specialties. Among these, oncological care constitutes a setting where patient participation is particularly crucial as well as challenging. However, previous studies in this setting have f…
Shaping a moral body in family dinner talk
The family meal has been extensively investigated as a site for children's acquisition of eating-related behaviors and attitudes, as well as culture-specific rules and assumptions. However, little is known about children's socialization to a constitutive dimension of commensality and even social life: good manners concerning bodily conduct. Drawing on 20th century scholarship on body governmentality and good manners, and building on recent studie…
Crossing the line? Exploring situated, interactional negotiations of parental involvement in primary homework in England and Italy
Primary school homework is a common practice internationally, historically viewed as an independent child activity, but more recently recognised as a family accomplishment. Parental involvement in homework has been principally discussed in relation to general and fixed typologies, with parent behaviours categorised into pre‐defined ‘types’. This paper challenges that framing by theorising homework as an interactional event. It illustrates that pa…
“Doing being an involved parent”
The present study investigates the increasingly common phenomenon of parental involvement in children’s education from a dialogic perspective. Drawing on video-recorded parent-child homework conversations in Italian families and adopting a conversation analysis-informed approach, the study analyzes how a value-laden cultural notion like ‘family-school partnership’ is given ‘dialogic existence’ through a variety of discursive practices. Specifical…
Beyond school-related learning
Family interactions constitute an arena for children's moral development: it is indeed through ordinary talk, and shared, task-oriented activities that children are socialized into moral orders and culturally informed ways of thinking and acting. Drawing on a video-based study on the everyday life of 19 middle-class families and adopting a discourse analytic approach, the paper sheds light on the socializing function of a domestic activity: homew…
Polyphony in the pediatric clinic
Alliances between families and children’s institutional caregivers are considered crucial in granting children a healthy upbringing. This article reports the preliminary findings of a study on the interactional construction of epistemic and deontic alliances among present and evoked children’s caregivers. Adopting a discourse analysis approach to a corpus of 54 video-recorded pediatric visits, we analyze examples of complaint sequences where pare…
‘Teacher Martina wants you to write in cursive’
The concept of ‘family–school partnership’ has been extensively investigated from a macro and theoretical perspective, but it is still little explored at the micro level of interaction. Based on video-recorded homework sessions collected in Italian family residences and drawing on conversation analysis, this paper shows how parents enact what constitutes the core meaning of the family–school partnership (i.e. the sharing of values between home an…
Shifting addressivity
In dealing with recent migration-related phenomena, inclusion has become an increasingly common normative ethical imperative in socio-political discourse. Considering inclusion as a situated interactive accomplishment, this article reports findings from a study on medical visits, each one involving a physician, an unaccompanied foreign minor (UFM) and a professional educator. Adopting a Conversation Analysis-informed approach to a corpus of video…
Objects that matter
It has been two decades since the social-material turn in social interaction studies proved the heuristic limits of a logocentric analytical geography. In this paper, we focus on the performative function of objects in an underexplored learning activity: parent-assisted homework. Adopting a Conversation Analysis informed approach complemented by the ventriloquial perspective on communication, we illustrate how parent-assisted homework is accompli…
