Using conversation analysis to explore the nature of argument,
asymmetry, and power on talk radio, this book focuses on the
interplay between the structures of talk in interaction and the
structures of participation on talk radio. In the process, it
demonstrates how conversation analysis may be used to account for
power as a feature of institutional discourse.
To address a number of key issues in the study of institutional
communication and conflict talk, a case study of a British talk
radio show is presented, stimulating some penetrating questions:
* What is distinctive about interaction on talk radio?
* What is the basis of the communicative asymmetries between hosts
and callers?
* How are their arguments constructed, and in what ways does the
setting enable and constrain the production of conflict talk?
These questions are answered through the detailed study of
conversational phenomena, informed by a critical concern for the
relationship between talk and social structure.
This book will be of interest to a wide readership consisting of
academics, advanced undergraduates, and postgraduate students in a
range of courses in sociology, linguistics,
media/communication/cultural studies, anthropology, and popular
culture.
The landscape of broadcast news media is constantly changing,
partly under the influence of changing technology but also due to
changes in the social role of television journalism. The Political
Interview: Broadcast Talk in the Interactional Combat Zone takes a
sociological and linguistic approach to examining these changes,
focusing on the discourse practices that are associated with them.
Tracing contemporary developments in the ways that interviews with
politicians are conducted in a range of televised formats, Ian
Hutchby analyzes increasing tendencies towards conflictual
interactions that may fundamentally impact the nature of political
communication and the role of news interviews in the democratic
process. Training the sharp analytical lens of conversation
analysis on the actual discourse of live broadcast news, Hutchby's
book is both timely-addressing academic and populist concerns about
infotainment, dumbing down, and political mistrust among the
electorate-and relevant to a range of specialists in
sociolinguistics, communication studies, political studies,
journalism and media studies, and sociology.
Childhood is increasingly saturated by technology: from television to the Internet, video games to 'video nasties', camcorders to personal computers. Children, Technology and Culture looks at the interplay of children and technology which poses critical questions for how we understand the nature of childhood in late modern society. This collection brings together researchers from a range of disciplines to address the following four aspects of this relationship between children and technology: *children's access to technologies and the implications for social relationships *the structural contexts of children's engagement with technologies with a focus on gender and the family *the situatedness of children's interactions with technological objects *the constitution of children and childhood through the mediations of technology _ This book represents a substantial contribution to contemporary social scientific thinking both about the nature of children and childhood, the social impacts of technologies and the various relationships between the two.
Increasingly children are being seen as competent social agents in
their own right, rather than as inchoate versions of adults. This
poses questions for how we understand the social worlds of
pre-adolescent children and their relationships with each other, as
well as adults.
This volume explores children's relationships from a variety of
theoretical and methodological standpoint, through the use of a
wide range of empirical data. A practical application of the
children's social competence model, it focuses on children's social
interactions, as opposed to what children's social competence means
from the adult perspective of researchers and policy makers. It
looks at the ways in which children are allowed, by adults, to be
socially competent.
A text which addresses the relationship between childhood,
competence and the social arenas of action in which children live
their lives. Taking issue with the view that children are merely
apprentice adults, the contributors develop a picture of children
as competent, sophisticated social agents, focusing on the contexts
which both enable and constrain that competence.
