Accessing and Using Data without Informed Consent
We critically reflect on ethical challenges of making, accessing, and using audio/video recordings for social research in which participants have not and/or cannot provide informed consent. We distinguish between two types of data: recordings for which informed consent for use for research purposes would have been feasible but was not obtained, for example, “classic” or “legacy” data collected during the early development of Conversation Analysis…
Phase Structure and Resistance to Progressivity in Complaints Calls to the NHS
This paper examines how callers to an NHS complaints helpline get to “tell their story.” As project-based institutional calls, the closure of a complaints call is observably organized around “mutually ratified project completion.” Our analysis reveals the practices that callers deploy to resist call handlers' (CH) progress through the institutional phase structure of the call, thus also resisting ratification of their project as complete. We show…

Should we share qualitative data? Epistemological and practical insights from conversation analysis
Over the last 30 years, there has been substantial debate about the practical, ethical and epistemological issues uniquely associated with qualitative data sharing. In this paper, we contribute to these debates by examining established data sharing practices in Conversation Analysis (CA). CA is an approach to the analysis of social interaction that relies on audio/video recordings of naturally occurring human interactions and moreover works at a …

Keeping “Small Talk” Small in Health-Care Encounters
Health-care interactions often involve social, relational, small-talk, or “off-task” sequences that are largely topically distinct from the institutional business of the setting. In this article we examine data from preoperative assessment sessions in a Scottish hospital in order to explore the transitions between on- and off-task talk. In the majority of instances, the movement between social and medical talk is routine and unproblematic, and bo…

Common-sense anti-racism in book group talk
This article explores the rhetorical accomplishment by British book group members of anti-racist identities through their discussions of fictional texts in exploring themes of race and immigration. ‘Common-sense anti-racism’ is a social action or stance that is presented as self-evidently taken by speakers, yet explicitly flagged at the same time. Speakers in book group discussions routinely display enlightened, anti-racist views, principally by …
Not Reading Brick Lane
When someone becomes or does not become a reader - and how we make a chim to or refuse these kinds of identity - clearly matters within globalued cultures, where the challenges of literary representation quickly become problems of cultural misrepresentation. Yet precisely because not reading would appear to amount to nothing, its significance remains unexplored. In order to trace the conjunctural and multiple meanings of not reading, this essay e…
Masculine Identity and Identification as Ethnomethodological Phenomena
The aim of this paper is to explore possible discourse and conversation analytical approaches to articulations of masculinity in and around sites of popular culture. The research presented in this paper arises from work on the relationship between men’s magazines, constructions/discourses of masculinity and lived cultures of masculinity. My particular interest in this paper is to explore the process by which we assign gendered identities to famil…

New Sexism
A common motif of “new” forms of masculinity in recent years has been the adoption of what have been termed “new sexism” discourses. This involves the legitimation of male power in new and creative ways, often by the strategic accommodation or negotiation of liberal, progressive or feminist discourses. This paper examines one particular “new sexism” device—irony. Irony is a versatile device in men's magazines which allows a speaker to articulate …
Discourse and Identity
GBS_insertPreviewButtonPopup('ISBN:9780748617500); 'Identity' is a central organizing feature of our social world. Across the social sciences and humanities, it is increasingly treated as something that is actively and publicly accomplished in discourse. This book defines identity in its broadest sense, in terms of how people display who they are to each other. Each chapter examines a different discursive environment in which people do 'identity …
Lucky this is anonymous.’ Ethnographies of reception in men’s magazines
In this article I address the contribution that a study of reader reception might make to our understanding of the cultural meanings of the discourses to be found in and around men’s magazines. Reception is a cultural site often neglected in linguistic analyses of popular cultural texts, which are commonly treated as discrete, autonomous and ahistorical within these approaches. Conversation Analysis of unstructured interviews with magazine reader…
Ironic Discourse
This article takes as its textual focus the U.K. men's lifestyle magazine and explores the notion that irony is strategically employed in the partial constitution (and evasion) of a specific masculine identity. It is frequently claimed that irony is a prominent feature of the postmodern condition, with its slippery ability to disclaim allegiances to particularpolitical or critical positions; within the men's lifestyle magazine, we can see how iro…

Constructing discussion tasks in university tutorials
This article examines task-setting sequences in university tutorial sessions. Classes from three higher education institutions were audio- and video-recorded. The resulting data, which included both tutor-led and peer group discussions, were transcribed and analysed using conversation analysis (CA). A number of themes emerged from our analysis. First, we found that the tutor's opening turns routinely followed a three-part sequence, the interperso…
