Rooted in multimodal conversation analysis and based on video
recordings of naturally occurring social interactions, this book
presents a novel analytical perspective for the study of touch. The
authors focus on how different forms of touch are interactionally
organized in everyday, institutional, and professional practices,
showing how touch is multimodally achieved in social interaction,
how it acquires its significance, how it is embedded in the current
activity and in its social context, and how it is systematically
intertwined with talk, facial expressions, and body posture.
Including work by a wide range of renowned researchers, this volume
provides rich visual illustrations of situations featuring touch as
a social and intersubjective practice. The studies make a
compelling contribution to the field by clearly examining and
demonstrating the social meaning of touch for the participants in
social interaction in a broad range of contexts. Presenting a new
methodology for the study of touch, this is key reading for all
researchers and scholars working in conversation analysis,
multimodality, and related areas.
