Thank you very much for reading sequence organization in interaction a primer in conversation analysis. Maybe you have knowledge that, people have look numerous times for their chosen novels like this sequence organization in interaction a primer in conversation analysis, but end up in malicious downloads. Rather than reading a good book with a cup of coffee in the afternoon, instead they juggled with some infectious virus inside their laptop.

Notes on Methodology

The Open Science Movement aims to enhance the soundness, transparency, and accessibility of scientific research, and at the same time increase public trust in science. Currently, Open Science practices are mainly presented as solutions to the 'reproducibility crisis' in hypothetico-deductive quantitative research. Increasing interest has been shown towards exploring how these practices can be adopted by qualitative researchers. In reviewing this emerging body of work, we conclude that the issue of diversity within qualitative research has not been adequately addressed. Furthermore, we find that many of these endeavours start with existing solutions for which they are trying to find matching problems to be solved. We contrast this approach with a natural incorporation of Open Science practices within interaction analysis and its constituent research traditions: conversation analysis, discursive psychology, ethnomethodology, and membership categorisation analysis. Zooming in on the development of conversation analysis starting in the 1960s, we highlight how practices for opening up and sharing data and analytic thinking have been embedded into its methodology. On the basis of this presentation, we propose a series of lessons learned for adopting Open Science practices in qualitative research.

Speaking out against everyday sexism : Gender and epistemics in accusations of “mansplaining”

This thesis is about police interviews with suspects in England. The suspects in these interviews have been arrested in connection with their involvement in relatively low-level offences. They comprise incidents ranging from threatening behaviour, harassment and breach of bail conditions to criminal damage, theft and assault. They are certainly not the remarkable and dramatic cases which appear in the front pages of the newspapers and fill television programmes over the week; nonetheless they are hugely important to the fabric of law-in-action in our society, as they represent the most ordinary and mundane legal work in the context of the criminal justice system in England. I draw upon a sample of 27 investigative interviews with suspects, recorded in audio as part of a standard police procedure for potential use in court. The data was transcribed and analysed within an ethnomethodological framework and using conversation analysis. My research focuses principally on three particular aspects of police-suspect social interactions: how police questioning is oriented to some key legal concepts, e.g. actus reus, mens rea and evidence, that underpin the decision about whether the event investigated was indeed a criminal offence; how suspects narratives or accounts are co-constructed, i.e. negotiated, evaluated and transformed, in order to gain legal relevance especially in terms of the legal concepts aforementioned; and the linguistic resources and the sense-making practices used by police officers to transform lay narratives or accounts into legal informed material. My analysis is divided as follows. In chapter 4, I examine how police officers may elicit prejudicial information from suspects. In chapter 5, I describe in more detail how police officers transform and summarise what they themselves or the suspects have previously said in the interview. Following this, in chapter 6 and 7, I address two very particular defensive strategies adopted by suspects when questioned about their involvement in a criminal offence: portraying the incident as an accident and blaming the putative victim. I show that these social actions and practices are fundamental for understanding how legal concepts not only inform these interactions but are also constructed through them; they orient not only the nature but also the direction of the questioning and the criteria for building a case.

Police interviews with suspects in police stations in England

This article reports findings from a study of police interviews of people suspected of having committed relatively minor criminal offences, in a police station in England. The data comprise audio-recorded investigative interviews which were analysed using conversation analysis. It is focused on a communicative practice employed by police officers while questioning suspects. This practice is to ‘formulate’ what the suspect has just said; formulations are a means of summarising the suspect’s evidence in a particular phase of questioning, in such a way as to represent the suspect’s own words. Formulations, as a practice in talk-in-interaction, enable police officers to a) summarise the upshot of what a suspect has said during a period or phase of questioning, b) attribute this summary directly to a suspect’s ‘own words’, c) construct a suspect’s account (confirmation) as legally relevant, and which can d) elicit from the suspect a form of admission. Formulations are employed as a mechanism to rework prior descriptions and utterances by transforming and elaborating them and consolidating their legal relevance. Through this practice, police officers manage to attribute legal labels to what suspects have said during the interview, to their evidence (e.g. as denying, admitting, telling, etc.) as well as to the character of the incidents or events in question (e.g. assault, breach of harassment warning, criminal damage, arson). Formulating, therefore, is an interactional practice through which key legal work is accomplished in police interviews with suspects in England. It is a device that constitutes the fabric of law-in-action.

The fabric of law-in-action: ‘formulating’ the suspect’s account during police interviews in England

Neste artigo, estou fundamentalmente interessado em discutir os aspectos praticos da pesquisa de campo em instituicoes juridicas, a partir da experiencia etnografica no Tribunal do Juri em Juiz de Fora/MG. Primeiramente, explico como se deu a definicao do objeto e a construcao do problema de pesquisa. Em seguida, faco uma apresentacao da pesquisa de campo, mostrando o que me guiou e em que direcao. Nesta parte, procuro abordar os principais obstaculos a pesquisa encontrados ao longo do percurso. Conjuntamente, tento comentar como surgiu a ideia das entrevistas, como as realizei, quais foram as inquietacoes e como tratei os dados dessa natureza. O que proponho e, portanto, discutir a pesquisa empirica nao a partir dos seus resultados, mas do processo pela qual ela foi construida.

Aspectos práticos da pesquisa empírica em direito: uma discussão a partir da experiência etnográfica no Tribunal do Júri

Este artigo apresenta um programa de pesquisa empirico-procedimental das decisoes judiciais. Ao mostrar tanto as limitacoes dos estudos da filosofia do direito, quanto da ciencia politica, pretende-se discutir as bases metodologicas para uma analise praxeologica dos processos de tomada de decisao por juizes. A partir da descricao de duas situacoes de producao da decisao, uma no Brasil e outra em Franca, o objetivo do texto e explicar como podemos compreender as decisoes judiciais enquanto fenomenos locais e interacionalmente produzidos.
