Navigating Omnirelevant Asymmetry
The educational community has long critiqued teacher‐centered instruction, promoting student‐centered learning. Yet, pre‐assumed teacher‐student category relevance may overlook momentary asymmetries and alternative categories in real‐time learning. Drawing on video recordings of videoconferencing music lessons involving a teacher/great aunt, young children/students, and caregivers/teaching assistants during the COVID‐19 pandemic, our data provide…
Choreographing digital love
Video-mediated communication (VMC) has become particularly important for geographically dispersed families. Drawing on a 2-year video-based ethnographic study of under-resourced Chinese rural-to-urban migrant parents and their left-behind children, this article captures on-site distant parent–child VMC. Applying qualitative video analysis to study video calls, this article focuses on how people “choreograph” these video calls and investigates the…
Sequence Facilitation
Completing a sequence of actions is a basic problem of social organization for participants. When a first pair-part is addressed to a not yet fully competent member, such as a young child, a third party can facilitate the completion of the sequence through diverse linguistic, embodied, and material practices. In this article, we examine such sequence facilitation in a perspicuous setting: grandparent-mediated video calls between migrant parents a…
Continuing assessments in online dating
Potential romantic partners often employ specific communicative strategies in computer-mediated communication based on their anticipation of future interactions. This conversation analytic study examines the practice of assessments used in WeChat conversations between potential romantic partners. We found that people recurrently mobilize the action of assessment to maintain or terminate their relationships. Especially, people tend to provide more…
‘Awww, she is feeding you’
Undertaking a video call with very young children can pose significant challenges, as children may wander away or fail to pay attention to the people on the screen. Previous studies have provided important insights into how adults try various strategies to engage young children in such video calls. Less attention has been paid, however, to the children’s perspective: how children orient themselves toward video-mediated communication technologies …
Investigating interactions from the children’s perspective
Interaction rituals and ‘social distancing
Previous research in the social sciences has shown that haptic interaction rituals are critical for maintaining social relationships. However, during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, ‘social distancing’ was encouraged in order to avoid the spread of disease. Drawing on data from self-ethnography as well as publicly available resources, in this study we explore some new, locally negotiated haptic trajectories to accomplish interaction rituals …
