Teachers’ Ideological Dilemmas During the Pandemic at Higher Education Institutions: A Discursive Psychological Approach
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted higher education (hereinafter “HE”) teaching and learning approaches globally since 2020. It has compelled a major shift from face-to-face to online delivery, affecting the ways HE teachers teach and communicate with students. In this paper, we explore an under-researched area, teachers’ ideological dilemmas surrounding online teaching and issues related to remote or technologically mediated communication adopte…
Silence as a magnifying glass for uncertainty and affect: The qualitative case studies of Karin and Dana's journals
This article focuses on what diverse forms of silence (i.e., silence-phenomena) convey about affective processing and meaning-making as processes. Departing from a dialogical perspective that informs sociocultural and existential theories, we qualitatively analyze Karin and Dana's (pseudonyms) cases. These two Master's students attended a three-week-long intensive and interdisciplinary course at a Norwegian university. The course is about silence…
Learning in retirement: Developing resilience and becoming a resourceful practitioner of life
Children’s subversive interactions in the school mealtime
School mealtimes in England are highly orchestrated practices that have a specific temporal order of when and how the meal should be eaten. At the same time, the social conditions of the mealtime offer children opportunities for emergent interactions. In this study, we examine children’s non-legitimate voices and the dynamic conflictual nature of children’s interactions that are no longer fully governed by the established school mealtime order. T…
Children's humour and the grotesque pleasures in school mealtime socialisation
In this paper, we argue for two propositions: children are socialised and guided to become competent members of school mealtime community, and children have the capacity to modify and challenge existing practices. We draw on Bakhtin's concepts of the carnivalesque laughter and grotesque realism to illustrate how children use humour to test the boundaries of what is permitted. Children's mealtime interactions foster the development of social skill…
The art of dialogic silence in the way of tea: Rethinking Space and Time for Contemplation
In this article I explore silence as dialogue in human communication and address its relevance to silence in heritage sites and museums. Instead of treating silent responses as negative or pedagogical failure, I approach silence from an eclectic perspective informed by linguistic philosophy, social anthropology and cultural psychology and present an analysis of dialogic silence in relation to the nearly 500-year-old ritual practice of Chado, comm…
Commemoration reconsidered: Second World War Veterans’ reunion as pilgrimage
This article recognises the crucial role cultural and social contexts play in shaping individual and collective recollections. Such recollections involve multiple, intertwined levels of experience in the real world such as commemorating a war. Thus, the commemoration practised in a particular context deserves an empirical investigation. The methodological approach taken is naturalistic, as it situates commemoration as remembering and recollection…
Conceptions of effort among students, teachers and parents within an English secondary school
‘Effort’ and ‘ability’ (understood as potential, intelligence or achievement) are concepts widely used in the everyday language of schooling in Britain but each term lacks clear definition of its use in the school context. Meanwhile, the assessment of effort, alongside that of achievement, remains widespread. This article reports on an exploratory case study of conceptions of effort among three major actors in an English secondary school. Qualita…
Time for Memory: Beyond Spatial Metaphors
This article is a continuous dialogue on memory triggered by Brockmeier’s (2010) article. I drift away from the conventionalization of the archive as a spatial metaphor for memory in order to consider the greater possibility of “time” for conceptualizing memory. The concept of time is central to understanding the nature of human experience as a process in which a constant flux of change in organism, cultural and social practices is observed. Two …
Liminality in Language Use: Some Thoughts on Interactional Analysis from a Dialogical Perspective
Positioning in Accounting for Redemption and Reconciliation
This article offers an analysis of the discursive practice of reconciliation occasioned in the accounts of former British prisoners of war of their captivity and of other related events of World War II during a reconciliation trip to Japan. The overall aim is to examine ways in which autobiographical accounts about the past, as produced in interviews, constitute relevant identities and membership within social relations. In telling narratives of …
Grave Matters: Emergent Networks and Summation in Remembering and Reconciliation
We examine British war veterans' involvement in practices of remembering and reconciliation. These veterans were prisoners of war (POWs) in the Far East in World War II, building the Thai-Burma Railway before transfer to a copper mine in Japan. Some 50 years later, they participated in a "reconciliation visit" to Japan. We discuss how and in what ways their postwar lives and wartime experiences are gathered up in the processes of remembering and …
Reflexivity of In-between-Cultural Positions in Analysing Discourse
Orientation to the Setting: Discursively Accomplished Intersubjectivity
This article concerns intersubjective understanding; what it is to establish a shared understanding of the conversational activity in research interviews. This discussion was inspired by interpersonal subjectivity (Mead, 1910/1978) and constitution of otherness, one of the four matrices of intersubjectivity proposed by Coelho and Figueiredo (2003). In drawing attention to the interview as an intriguing and instructive realm of inquiry for social …
