Bushnell and Moody present a rich investigation into the navigation
of friendships, adopting discursive and ethnographic perspectives
to examine Japanese, Chinese and English interactional data. Since
the definition of friendship is hard to pin down, most
socio-cultural anthropologists have tended to focus on issues of
kinship and descent, while leaving friendship as a residual or
interstitial issue. However, this book puts friendship as the
central focus and offers unique perspectives from the participants
themselves. The interactional work implicated in the accomplishment
of making and being friends, and the trials and tribulations of
friendship are both explored, through the many detailed analyses
showing how the participants navigate the calm and rough waters of
friendship in and through their everyday interactions. Researchers,
undergraduates, and postgraduate students in the fields of
conversation analysis, pragmatics, and other social sciences will
benefit from the real-life examples in the book, as well as the
analysis.
