Dementia, distributed interactional competence and social membership
Enacting Blind Spaces and Spatialities: A Sociological Study of Blindness Related to Space, Environment and Interaction

The article is based on ethnographic data with the purpose to describe enactment and management of physical and social spaces for blind born persons in differ…

Discourses of collaborative medical work
This article looks at the hospital as an expert system organized to promote distributed processes of collaborative medical problem solving. It is composed by subsystems and the collaborative processes resemble processes of socially distributed cognition. Terms like ‘medical discourse’ or ‘institutional interaction’ have been used to describe verbal activities in collaborative medical practice. But the definitions of these terms give a limited und…
Possibly abusive, often benign, and always necessary. On power and domination in medical practice
Possibly abusive, often benign, and always necessary. On power and domination in medical practice
In the medical sociological literature that focuses on medical practice, the doctor‐patient relationship is usually described in terms such as relationship asymmetry, cognitive conflicts and professional dominance. The unfortunate consequences of the doctor's power over the patient are stressed in a common criticism of the dominating biomedical perspective of modern medicine. As an alternative, more social psychological models have been promoted.…
Health and social inequity in Norway
The Social Construction of Research Information
The following major interpretative problem is presented: How do we know, make probable and plausible, or document the meaning of speech acts and the meaning and functions of sequences or systems of sequences of social interaction? Assignment of meaning is here understood as an interpretative process that generates higher level predications It signifies a movement from a specific level to a more general This problem is discussed in connection with…
Micro Analyses and Social Structure: Cognitive and Linguistic Models in Sociology
Cognitive and linguistic models from recent works on discourse analyses are introduced as relevant and important contributions to sociological meth odology. By the use of such models, the integration of micro and macro levels of social scientific research, and the cognitive aspects of the phenom enon of social structure are addressed. It is suggested that cognitive schemata are part of the social structure, which again is always a tacit precondit…
