Blue Sky Workshop: Applying Conversation Analysis to Study Interaction: Data Session

Session Submission Type: Meeting

Abstract

Conversation Analysis (CA) is a methodological and theoretical approach concerned with the study of social interaction. The important feature of this approach is attention to actual communication practices of naturally-occurring interaction. The Blue Sky Workshop offers participants an opportunity to work with video-taped data and transcripts of a naturally-occurring interaction and to collaboratively participate in its inductive analysis. The interactional data suggested for the analysis at the Blue Sky Workshop is Jimmy Fallon’s interview with Donald Trump that took place at the time of primary elections in the US. This data will be of interest to a range of participants (e.g., researchers who study mediated discourse, political communication, infotainment, institutional talk, and interaction processes in general).
