Haptic Resources in Pain Communication
Pain assessment is key in deciding whether amputee patients are fit to receive a prosthesis, but its interactional accomplishment is still underexplored. This study adopts multimodal conversation analysis to investigate how pain assessment is carried out during medical visits at an Italian prosthetic clinic involving 77 patients and 24 health professionals. In the analyzed data, doctors carry out pain assessment by asking patients whether they fe…

Talking Down Pain in the Prosthesis Clinic
Understanding and evaluating pain is a growing concern in clinical practice and health care. In this article we examine how pain is talked about in 24 video-recorded visits of a team of medical professionals with postsurgery amputees. We identify a paradox: Although it is medically useful to identify postamputation pain (it can indicate problematic healing and deter application of a prosthesis), we found that there was a joint preference, by both…
Action bids in children with speech impairments
The paper illustrates a practice, which we have called ‘marking’, observed in play interactions between parents and children with Down syndrome (DS) aged 3–8 years. Markings are minimal turns that rely on prosody, embodied resources and indexicality to foreground events within an ongoing activity and convey a stance toward them. Markings can be both retrospective and prospective (i.e. referring to a just-occurred or an incipient event). As first …
A Different Conversation
Observations about peculiarities in the autistic population concerning type and frequency of references to subjective states, and lack of perspective taking, have been on the whole referred to as the paradox of the autistic self, i.e. a co-presence of ego-centeredness and weak self-referentiality (Lombardo & Baron Cohen 2010). Prevalent approaches in autism ascribe these peculiarities to high order disfunctions caused by neurological factors, suc…
Synchrony, Co‐Eating and Communication During Complementary Feeding in Early Infancy
The transition from milk to complementary food is a crucial but difficult process, requiring considerable adult sensitivity. We know little about the relationship between maternal feeding behaviors and infant willingness to eat at the onset of complementary feeding ( CF ), and we know even less about how these patterns might vary across cultures. Thirty‐seven dyads (15 from the UK and 22 from Italy) took part in a longitudinal study, during which…
Marked Identities
Western society has become increasingly diverse, but stereotypes still persist in the public discourse. This volume explores how people who have a marked status in society - among them Travellers, tee

Transformative Homes
In the era of global workflows and massive migrations, it has been suggested that the notion of home is breaking free from its material aspects to become a set of exportable routines and practices. On the other hand, it is argued that the materiality of spaces and objects can support migrants' well-being in the new destination. Drawing on the ethnography of a Moroccan household in Rome, Italy, we illustrate how actions pertinent to the material h…
How to Go On
Through the lens of a case study of the spontaneous verbal interaction of a five-year-and-ten-month-old child with autism, this article offers a reflection on the psychological and epistemological underpinnings of human communication. In particular, in the analysis of verbal exchanges between a child with autism and his caregivers, we discuss formulaic talk and verbal play and the relation of these with sequential progressivity, expressions of pe…
Assessing Mutable Objects
The article examines assessments of objects with which participants are currently engaged. Through the analysis of evaluative activities around the production of a clothing item in a fashion atelier, we illustrate the embodied components of both assessments and their responses, and argue that embodied actions (such as embedded phases of appraisal through observation and manipulation) are central to the understanding of both the meaning and the te…
Narratives in the workplace
Drawing on a set of workplace interaction corpora, both dyadic and multiparty, we present three narrative forms departing from the established notion of storytelling. These have been called Rewindings, collaborative reconstructions of yet-unknown past events; Fictions, the creation of imaginary scenes; and Templates, condensed versions of experience providing information on unexpected outcomes or controversial occurrences. Without denying specifi…
Discourses on Family Time
In this article, we examine U.S. and Italian parents' discourses on family time in parent-filled weekly activity charts and interviews with parents. Analysis indicates that in Los Angeles, California, parents talk about sheltering and isolating their nuclear family from the outside world and from everyday routine by creating special times and special activities for the nuclear family. In contrast, Roman parents' discourse allows for spontaneous t…
Children's socialization into cleaning practices
Focusing on everyday hygiene and household cleaning tasks, this study examines the socialization practices and parenting strategies that foster familial and cultural values such as autonomy, interdependence and responsibility. Through the micro-analysis of videotaped family interaction in Los Angeles and Rome, this article looks at actual practices and activity trajectories to reveal the ways in which families organize themselves, attach values t…
To Be Honest
In this article, we examine parenthetical uses of honesty phrases (HPs) such as to be honest and honest to God in mundane domestic telephone calls and, for comparison, police interrogations. Parenthetical uses of HPs express a speaker’s stance on the complement to which they are attached. We focus on HPs in two kinds of turn se-quences: in framing dispreferred answers in question–answer (Q–A) sequences and in framing assessments. In Q–A sequences…

Hiding on a Glass Roof', or a Commentator's Exercise on 'Rewriting Memories
Tschuggnall and Welzer's (2002) paper provides examples of narratives collected in interviews about the Third Reich period in Germany. They discuss the transformations observed in recounted episodes as they are passed from one generation to the other in the theoretical framework of collective and constructive memory. While agreeing with the paper's main tenets, the commentary offers further readings of the stories presented as evidence, suggestin…

Mutual Apprentices
Starting from a view of socialization as a bidirectional process, the paper contributes to the field of language socialization in detailing how conversational interaction provides tools for parents and children to collaboratively construe a sense of moral meaning and social order. The paper illustrates both the agentive participation of Italian children in dialogue on normative behavior and ways that their discursive contributions shape the struc…
Planning a Typical Italian Meal
The paper addresses the issue of cultural descriptions as they are perceived and used within mundane conversation. We analyze a discussion of an Italian family about a future formal occasion (a party) in a foreign country (Austria), with foreign participants, in which they shall produce a typically Italian meal. The analysis shows how cultural descriptions are both a resource and a constraint when they must orient a practical activity which must …
Historical Practices in School Through Photographical Reconstruction
Small groups of 4th-grade school children worked autonomously on the analysis of a photograph, guided by a set of questions ranging from particular issues to more general ones. Transcripts of the recordings show that children's talk deals with key issues of historical methodology: reliability of the source, manipulations transforming findings into a "source," generalizability from single cases, and interpretation and comparison with present times…
Socializing taste
Though eating and taste are central to social and moral order, we know little about the mundane practices that socialize children into the world of food. This study pioneers direct observation of the practices involved in socializing taste. Utilizing Bourdieu's distinction between 'the taste of necessity' and 'the taste of luxury/freedom ', it examines the discourse of taste that prevails at the dinner tables of middle-class Caucasian American an…
