How do people interact when they are on the move? How do people
interact in order to be mobile? How do people coordinate the
mobility of others? How does mobility feature in social
interaction? 'Multimodal interaction' and 'mobility' are of
increasing interest to scholars across disciplines. Interaction and
mobility is the first book to study these aspects comprehensively.
It provides cutting-edge research by international scholars who use
video-recordings of real-life everyday interactions for studying in
close detail human social interaction in such diverse multimodal
settings as airplanes, cars, traffic control centres, dance
schools, museums and other public places, and as part of such
activities as instructing, navigating, identifying an enemy on the
battlefield, organising a meeting, playing videogames, shopping,
performing and dancing. Together, these studies highlight features
of social interaction, including language, embodied conduct, and
spatial and material orientation, for being mobile, for interacting
on the move, so that mobility becomes a ubiquitous feature of our
lives. This book is a valuable resource to anyone interested in
multimodal interaction and mobility.
