Embodied Family Choreography documents the lived and embodied
practices employed to establish, maintain, and negotiate intimate
social relationships in the family, examining forms of control,
care, and creativity. Making use of the extensive video archives of
family interaction in the US and Sweden, it presents the first
investigation of how touch and interaction between bodies, in
conjunction with talk, constitute a primary means of orchestrating
activities through directives, thus creating rich relationships
through supportive interchanges, and engaging in playful
explorations of the world. Through close investigation of the
sequential and simultaneous engagement of bodies interacting with
other bodies, this book makes visible the important role touch
plays in the context of contemporary Western middle class family
life and is pioneering in its analysis of how the visual, aural,
and haptic senses (usually analysed separately) mutually elaborate
one another. As such, Embodied Family Choreography will appeal to
scholars of child development, the sociology of the family and
ethnomethodology and conversation analysis.
