Talking About Advance Directives: A Discourse Analysis of Clinical Encounters in Hong Kong
Advance directives are written statements outlining patients’ preferences regarding life-sustaining treatments at the end of their lives. These statements are brought about through discussions between patients, family, and clinicians. We take an interactional perspective on advance directives and focus on how they are talked about during clinical encounters in Hong Kong. The findings are based on a discourse analysis of 27 consultations. Clinicia…
“I feel like most people seem to just go with the flow”: Menopause, stigma and Chinese culture
This study investigates the lived experiences of menopause among Chinese women residing in Greater China (Hong Kong and mainland China). Specifically, it focuses on menopausal stigma, a focal theme identified by previous research on menopause. Existing public outreach and health campaigns in Western and Chinese contexts to date assume universality of menopausal stigma and focus on de-stigmatizing this life stage. In this paper, we draw on theme-o…
I’m not an anxious person”: End-of-life care workers constructing positive psychological states
Our work contributes to existing discourse-based and sociolinguistic research on mental health by turning their focus towards a consideration of its positive dimensions. We also identify recurrent linguistics strategies used by people to construct their mental health. Our analyses point to the importance of investigating mental health as a multidimensional concept that considers participants' own reflections on their mental health
They are not taking it seriously”: Constructing family dynamics in end-of-life care interactions in Hong Kong
In Chinese culture, the family is central to the decision-making around care provided to terminally-ill patients. Previous research examined the preferences that patients and relatives have in regard to the family's role in end-of-life care. Our article takes a discourse analytic perspective and focuses on how familial dynamics are interactionally constructed by patients in audio-recorded end-of-life care consultations in Hong Kong hospitals. We …
Misgendering, Cisgenderism and the Reproduction of the Gender Order in Social Interaction
This article investigates moments in social interaction where tacit processes of gender attribution become visible because they are temporarily disrupted and exposed through misgendering. Our data consist of publicly available audio and video-recorded cases of misgendering, mostly from UK and US contexts. Practices of misgendering embody assumptions that map people's current gender onto their self-presentations and gender histories. Organisationa…
Designedly intentional misgendering in social interaction: A conversation analytic account
Misgendering – moments where someone refers to, describes, or addresses a person as a gender different to the one they identify with – is a challenge that trans people can face in social interaction. Misgendering is an interactional phenomenon but has yet to be examined for how it unfolds in conversation. Utilizing conversation analysis, we focus on what we term designedly intentional misgendering. We show how speakers utilize turn-design feature…
Configuring Prospective Sensations: Experimenters Preparing Participants for What They Might Feel
Using video recordings of the setup phase of cognitive neuroscience experiments, we examine episodes where experimenters show and tell participants how a particular tool (a 'blunt needle') will be used and how that might feel. We analyze how experimenters describe and demonstrate prospective sensations for participants. We show that experimenters often describe sensations 'by negation' (saying what participants will not experience) and sometimes …
