Bringing together trust research, rhetoric, ethnomethodology and
conversation analysis, this book formulates an analytical program
for conceptualizing and defining trustworthiness as an empirical
research object in social interaction. Revisiting Trustworthiness
in Social Interaction examines trustworthiness as a relational and
dynamic concept. It reviews sociological and rhetorical approaches
to the study of trustworthiness and respecifies it as an
interactional phenomenon displayed, tested and negotiated by
participants in social interaction. It identifies four participant
orientations of trustworthiness that may be foregrounded in
peoples' dynamic identity projects, and it defines the phenomena
'character-bound displays' and 'sequential negotiation of
character', both indicative of participants' orientation to
trustworthiness. In this way, the book turns the theoretical
concept of trustworthiness into an empirical object of interaction
analysis, pointing to a vast number of interactional indicators,
which allow interaction analysts to explore if and how interactants
orient to trustworthiness in an encounter. Exemplary cases from
both mundane and institutional encounters are analyzed using
ethnomethodological multimodal conversation analysis showing how
trustworthiness is done, challenges, achived, negotiated and lost
in interaction. The intended audiences are scholars of conversation
analysis, ethnomethodology, rhetoric and the social sciences,
especially communication, organizational and leadership studies,
and their students.
THE TITLE OF THIS BOOK IS SOMEWHAT DECEIVING. THIS BOOK IS NOT
ABOUT THE COST OF LIVING, IT IS REALLY ABOUT THE COST OF NOT
LIVING.

Published in 1951, "Benjamin Hawkins, Indian Agent" examines the
social and diplomatic work of Hawkins, a congressman from North
Carolina who served as a mediator between the states and Native
Americans until his death in 1886. Hawkins worked to lessen the
constant tension between the frontier states and the Indian nations
and to increase agriculture in order to settle Native Americans to
the land.
Washington, Jefferson, Adams, and other national figures
recognized in Hawkins the ability to navigate Indian and state
negotiations. Hawkins's fairness earned him respect among the
Cherokees, Creeks, and other tribes. Such fairness also created
enemies among the land-hungry frontier states, which continually
strived for Indian removal. More than anyone else, Hawkins was
responsible for the policy of Indian relations between the treaty
of Paris in 1783 and the end of the War of 1812.
