Now I remembered what actually prompted the paper -- it was this footnote in our previous article. We realized that such "footnoting" is a characteristically predominant way of dealing with poetics and wanted to explore that further.

Thank you, Marina! Well, I am not quite sure about the prompt anymore :) But I believe there was first an interest in 'poetics' as such, and in the notion of the 'wild'. After a while, we decided to focus more closely on transcription of 'sound patterns' as a case in point...

Our new #EMCA paper, co-authored with Yeji Rieser, is out in #QualitativeResearch!

We revisit a rich but often overlooked strand of conversation analysis, exploring how transcription practices deal with the wildness of talk's poeticity.

Several years ago I had a short project observing such practices in a shared office space :)

Today I posted the 31st & final entry in a thread commemorating the work of Jeff Coulter, following his death in April. While not an exhaustive list, I hope it offers a sense of Jeff’s distinctive contribution, combining Rylean OLP with EMCA.

In commemoration of Jeff Coulter I will post an article or book by him each day this month.

Great thread, fully agree. I was recently rereading Coulter's "Twenty-five Theses against Cognitivism" and was reminded how important and overlooked it is. Sometimes I miss such uncompromising spirit in today's academia. Livingston's latest has it, and I appreciate it a lot. Button et al. 2022 too.

Livingston surely stirred things up with the paper, I really enjoyed the discussion.

A classic indeed! In addition, Kathryn Roulston has done very interesting work in approaching and analysing qualitative research interviews as interactional achievements.

True, many classical studies are overlooked in EM/CA

The photos are from the book "Garfinkel's Study", taken in 2008-2009 and (self)published shortly after.

For the EM corner, I've been recently taking reading recommendations from "the source", so to speak... This is what Garfinkel used to call, metaphorically, the "Ten Foot Shelf": a collection of books that he regarded as exemplary.

It's really not far from EMCA though, I would say it's on the inside still, a classic in Membership Categorization

Our #EMCA study published in the latest issue of Visual Studies, done in 2017 in Blue Factory (Fribourg, CH) illuminates the ubiquitous social phenomenon of “holding a place” by examining how people in co-working spaces use markers of presence to visually signal occupancy.

I hope so! I don't know any other place that would be like the "other place", apart from Linkedin -- which is not exactly the same kind of place
