Abstract: Young citizens are increasingly being invited to take part in participatory democracy meetings as joint decision-making has grown popular in public administration. The backbone of participatory democracy is that some authority is granted to the citizenry and by drawing on video data (38 hours) from a year-long participatory project, this conversation analytic study shows that the adolescents are instructed to a deontic role rooted in epistemics, benefactive considerations, as well as temporal aspects … Show more
“…Distal deontic claims in responding turns, appear as announcements of decisions as a response to a proposal for an activity. In distal deontic claims in responsive turns, the speaker may claim shared deontic rights (Magnusson, 2022) together with or on behalf of a co-participant (ex. 2, 6).…”

“…This kind of relationship may already have been indicated by the student’s gaze in line 8 though it may not have been noticed by the sports instructor. In addition, the use of ‘we’ may also suggest a shared claim of deontic rights on behalf of the student (Magnusson, 2022). Figure 7.Mutual gaze between the student and the sports instructor.…”

“…We use the term interdisciplinary trials to refer to pre-formalized test situations in which an interdisciplinary research team collaborates with employees at a sports high school to prepare students with mobility disabilities for robot-assisted gait training. While test situations have long been studied within CA (Maynard & Turowetz, 2017, 2022Majlesi and Plejert, 2018;Myrberg et al, 2018), the concept of trials has received less attention. Previous studies of trials focus on medical settings (Wade et al, 2009;Roberts, 2002), however, this paper offers a new perspective on trials by focusing on how deontic authority is claimed and negotiated in a setting that is new to the participants and no guidelines have been developed yet.…”

“…Stevanovic and Peräkylä (2012) have demonstrated how deontic authority is locally achieved in the interaction and is claimed and negotiated through turns-at-talk. While a majority of previous studies have focused on how deontic authority is managed through talk (Stevanovic and Peräkylä, 2012; Weatherall and Edmonds, 2018; Magnusson, 2020; Stevanovic, 2021; Nanouri et al, 2022), less attention has been given to the mobilization of non-verbal resources (Stevanovic and Monzoni, 2016; Clifton et al, 2018; Magnusson, 2021). In a study by Clifton et al (2018), they show that deontic authority is negotiated in a number of ways including multimodally.…”

This paper focuses on interdisciplinary trials as a multiparty and multiactivity setting in which different professions are needed for students with mobility disabilities to try out robot-assisted gait training. Through an ethnomethodological and conversation analytic approach to multimodal interaction analysis, we investigate how a research team collaborates with the employees at a sports high school to get students who are wheelchair users to walk. The paper provides an analysis of the professionals’ employment of multimodal resources for managing deontic rights when organizing interdisciplinary trials. It examines how the professionals initiate and negotiate their own and others’ actions necessary for preparing the student for walking. Based on video recordings, the paper focuses on the professionals’ deontic claims concerning co-participants actions and analyzes their temporal and spatial contingencies. Building on prior research on deontics, this paper contributes to our understanding of the interactive accomplishment of deontic authority and its sensitivity to contextual features.

“…Although rights to determine action are an omnirelevant aspect of social interaction, deontic authority has been specifically investigated in the contexts of specific activities and interactional phenomena. These include directive instruction (Henderson, 2020 ; Frick and Palola, 2022 ), support work (Antaki and Webb, 2019 ), joint decision making (Stevanovic, 2012 ), participatory democracy (Magnusson, 2020 ; Wåhlin-Jacobsen and Abildgaard, 2020 ), leadership (Clifton et al, 2018 ; Van De Mieroop, 2020 ), agenda management (Stephenson, 2020 ), and teaching development (Ripatti-Torniainen and Stevanovic, 2023 ). In all these contexts, the rights to determine action may concern future action ( distal deontics ) or joint action unfolding locally in the encounter ( proximal deontics ), these two temporal fields being often intertwined in complex ways (see e.g., Stevanovic, 2015 ; Clifton et al, 2018 ; Magnusson, 2020 ; Stephenson, 2020 ; Van De Mieroop, 2020 ; Stevanovic et al, 2022 ).…”
Section: Authority In Virtue Of Social and Institutional Relationshipsmentioning
Conversation Analysis (CA) tends to adopt an ambivalent attitude to the concept of power. The concept is fundamental in sociology but secondary or even disregarded in CA. A closer look at research and the conceptual foundations of CA however demonstrate significant contributions to theories of power. In this paper we aim to demonstrate and discuss these contributions, however, also arguing for an expansion of the CA approach in dialogue with sociological theories to engage in the sociological analysis of power as an essential feature of social relationships and social organization. Based on a general definition of power, as the transformative capacities of social agents in virtue of their social relationships, we discuss how power is interactionally achieved and negotiated, but also conditioned by social institutions and structures that extend beyond the contexts of situated encounters. The paper is divided into two main sections. The first section presents central contributions of CA in relation to the distinctions between power over and power to, authority as a legitimate form of power, and deontics as a key concept in the analysis of power. The second section critically considers the tendency in CA to localize power solely to actions in interaction, and to conflate structure and action, which constraints the analysis and explanations of power. We present examples of how analyses of power, grounded in CA, can be extended to account for the dynamics of social structures and realities beyond the interactional encounters.
