In a reenactment, a speaker re-presents or depicts a previously occurring event, often dramatically. In this article we examine the role of gaze in reenactments in conversations from Japanese and American English. Following Goodwin in viewing a reenacted story as 'a multi-modal, multi-party field of activity', we show how tellers' and recipients' gaze during reenactments is deployed to achieve specific interactional ends. We argue that there are two layers of activities involved in doing reenacting -a) the habitat of the original event; b) the habitat of the reenacting event, including the dynamics of gaining appreciative recipiency -and show how they are interwoven in the joint production of a reenactment.

“…We examine recordings of sequences of talk drawn from everyday conversations to explore the possible interplay of general phonetic (not only prosodic) features, sequential organization and displays of stance and affect (for other studies of stance and affect based on recordings of everyday conversations, though without sustained or systematic attention to the phonetic details of the talk, see e.g. Chafe 1986;Clift 2006;Du Bois 2007;KŠrkkŠinen 2003KŠrkkŠinen , 2006Haddington 2006). We examine everyday conversation not only because of its ecological validity, but because it provides for the demonstration of participantsÕ orientations to what we as analysts are proposing as being significant.…”

Abstract:Linguists, and other analysts of discourse, regularly make appeal to affectual states in determining the meaning of utterances. We examine two kinds of sequence which occur in everyday conversation. The first involves one participant making an explicit lexical formulation of a co-participantÕs affectual state (e.g. Ôyou sound happyÕ, ÔdonÕt sound so depressedÕ). The second involves responses to Ôpositive informingsÕ and Ônegative informingsÕ. Through consideration of sequential organization, participant orientation and phonetic detail we suggest that the attribution of analytic categories of affect is problematic. We argue that phonetic characteristics which might be thought to be associated with affect may better accounted for with reference to the management of particular sequentialinteractional tasks. The finding that stance does not inhere in any single turn at talk or any single linguistic aspect leads us to suggest that future investigations into stance and affect will need to pay attention simultaneously to matters of both linguistic-phonetic and sequential organisation.Keywords: stance, affect, conversation, sequence, phonetics, intonation 4 Stance and affect in conversation: on the interplay of sequential and phonetic resources* 1.

Misunderstanding as a resource in interaction

The phenomenon of misunderstanding is a recurrent feature of everyday life – sometimes a source of frustration, sometimes a site of blame. But misunderstandings can also be seen as getting interactants out of (as well as into) trouble. For example, misunderstandings may be produced to deal with disaffiliative implications of ‘not being on the same page,’ and as such they may be deployed as a resource for avoiding trouble. This paper examines misunderstanding as a pragmatic accomplishment, focusing on the uses to which it is put in interactions as a practice for dealing with threats to intersubjectivity: the extent to which persons are aligned in terms of a current referent, activity, assessment, etc. A multimodal discourse analysis of audio and video recordings of naturally-occurring talk inspects moments in which misunderstandings are purported or displayed (rather than overtly invoked) as well as how such misunderstandings are oriented to as simply-repairable references, versus inferential matters more misaligned and potentially fraught. Rather than being a straightforward reflection of an experience of trouble with understanding, misunderstanding may also be collaboratively produced to manage practical challenges to intersubjectivity.
