  • ‘Someone has taken all my tiaras

    Open AccessA C Evaldsson, Helen Melander BowdenARTICLELearning Media and Technology2025

    Based on ethnographic fieldwork including video recordings, this study examines how pre-teen girls, in everyday peer interaction, deal with controversial issues on a social media network. Drawing on a multimodal interactional approach, we analyze the situated affective and collaborative embodied work through which a peer group unravels and remedies problematic online behaviors (cheating, scamming, stealing). The results show how the girls affecti…

  • Children’s language creativity, emergent performativity, and heteroglossia in multilingual educational settings

    Open AccessA C Evaldsson, Amy KyratzisARTICLEDiscourse Studies2025Referencias: 15

    The number of children spending their time in multilingual educational environments where a cultural variety of languages are used has been rapidly growing in recent decades. By offering spaces for children to socialize with other children, educational settings in particular are crucial social arenas for children to develop social relations across ethnic and linguistic boundaries and where adult authorities provide learning spaces for children to…

  • Young learner agency

    Open AccessZejia Xu, A C EvaldssonARTICLEDiscourse Studies2025Referencias: 18

    This study explores how young bilingual (Swedish-Chinese) children (ages 3–5) exercise their agency in heritage language learning. The study draws on a multimodal interactional approach to video-ethnographic data from classroom interactions at a Chinese weekend school in Sweden, and the analysis combines Goffman’s concept of footing with Bakhtin’s approach to heteroglossia and multivoicedness. Particular focus is on how the children use reported …

  • Heteroglossia and language creativity in multilingual boys’ chat-communication

    Open AccessA C EvaldssonARTICLEDiscourse Studies2025Referencias: 9

    This study uses Bakhtin’s dialogical approach to heteroglossia for examining the diverse linguistic practices and norms multilingual (Swedish-Kurdish-Turkish-Arabic) children exploit in performing identities and negotiating relationships in social media environments. The study combines ethnography with multimodal conversation analysis, examining multilingual boys’ (i) chat-communication and (ii) co-present interactions around the screen. The anal…

  • ‘I’m just imitating the idiot’

    A C Evaldsson, Ann-Carita Evaldsson et al.ARTICLEResearch on Children and Social…2023

    This study examines how exclusionary acts of status degradation are performed through embodied stances and pejorative category ascriptions in the midst of a situated game activity where two boys align in mockful stances and stylized enactments towards a targeted boy. Drawing on a multimodal interactional approach to stance and membership categorization combined with sociolinguistic work on indexicality and identity, it shows how the cumulative pa…

  • Category relations and norms of feelings in children’s performances of a boyfriend-girlfriend culture

    Open AccessFredrik Andréasson, A C Evaldsson et al.ARTICLEDiscourse Studies2023Referencias: 21

    This study explores how preteen children in everyday interaction mobilize relationship categories to negotiate what counts as appropriate romantic feelings among peers. The analysis draws on ethnomethodological work on membership categorization and conversation analysis, integrated with ethnographic knowledge of children’s social life. Particular attention is on how children make claims of and resist membership in a particular relationship catego…

The data draw from ethnographies combined with detailed analysis (CA) of video recordings in two primary monolingual school settings in Sweden. Bakhtin’s processual view of how linguistic norms are used for overcoming the heteroglossia of langu…

  • Jocular language practices in young boys' performances of romantic relationships within their local peer culture

    Open AccessFredrik Andréasson, A C Evaldsson et al.ARTICLEChildhood2022Citada por: 3Referencias: 30

    Based on ethnographic fieldwork, we explore how boys use jocular play to perform romantic relationships in their peer culture and construction of masculinities. The analysis combines an ethnomethodological approach to doing gender with poststructuralist-influenced studies on masculinity and boyhood. We demonstrate how the boys - through game-playing, teasing, humorous narration, and ritual insults - do gender while they explore potentially embarr…

  • Enacting sabotage in siblings' conflicts

    Open AccessE Zotevska, Asta Cekaite et al.ARTICLEChildhood2021Citada por: 2Referencias: 35

    The present study examines sibling' conflict trajectories with a specific focus on acts of sabotage - deliberate obstruction or destruction of activities with an object. Multimodal interaction analysis is used to understand how siblings' conflicts are organised through multiple (verbal and embodied) practices. We further draw on childhood studies that focuses on children's material practices and use the term enactment to better understand human-n…

  • Co-constructing a child as disorderly

    Open AccessA C Evaldsson, Helen Melander BowdenARTICLEText and Talk2020

    This study explores how displays of strong emotions in narrative accounts of emotional experiences provide a context for invoking moral accountabilities, including the shaping of the teller’s character. We use a dialogical approach (i.e., ethnomethodology, linguistic anthropology) to emotions to explore how affective stances are performed, responded to and accounted for in episodes of narrative accounts. The analysis is based on a case study that…

  • The moral character of emotion work in adult-child interactions

    Open AccessAsta Cekaite, A C EvaldssonARTICLEText and Talk2020

    This special issue furthers a view in which affective stances are seen as indexical of culturally specific structures of feeling and norms concerning what counts as appropriate conduct in particular settings. The link between affect and everyday morality in the development and negotiations of moral personhood, identities and character work is demonstrated in the empirical studies that examine how affective stances are mobilized by drawing social …

  • Respecifying uncertainty in pupil health team collaboration

    Open AccessClara Iversen, A C EvaldssonARTICLEQualitative Research in Psychology2020Referencias: 10

    The article examines professionals’ displays of uncertainty in their reports of pupils’ school problems during Swedish Pupil Health Team (PHT) meetings. PHT-meetings reflect an effort to address pupils’ problems through multi-professional teamwork, involving, e.g. counsellors, nurses, and special education teachers. Barriers to such collaboration have been attributed to professionals’ difficulties to understand one another because they operate wi…

  • Language policies in play

    Asta Cekaite, A C Evaldsson et al.ARTICLEMultilingua2017Citada por: 9Referencias: 8

    In this study we argue that a focus on language learning ecologies, that is, situations for participation in various communicative practices, can shed light on the intricate processes through which minority children develop or are constrained from acquiring cultural and linguistic competencies (here, of a majority language). The analysis draws on a language socialization approach to examine the micro-level contexts of an immigrant child’s prescho…

More specifically, we focus on how a specific disability identity is locally accomplished and ascribed to a girl placed in an ADHD class containing only boys. Data are drawn from the communication books that regularly passed between the parents …

  • Talking moral stances into being

    J Svahn, A C EvaldssonARTICLEText and Talk2013
