Beskrivning

This book offers a novel perspective on how people engage in sensing the materiality of the world as a way of social interaction. It proposes a conceptual and analytical advance in how to approach sensing as an intersubjective and interactional phenomenon within the framework of conversation analysis and ethnomethodology. Based on a uniquely rich set of video-recorded data, the author shows how people reacting to cheese in gourmet shops across Europe highlights the part the senses play in human behaviour and communication. The multimodal analysis of the case studies reveals the systematic features of looking, touching, smelling, and tasting in situated activities. By blending interdisciplinary research with real life, the volume puts together a theoretical and methodological framework for studying the embodied and linguistic dimensions of sensing in interaction.

Recensioner i media

'This is a remarkable and engaging study of the ways in which sense and sensibility are constituted in and through social interaction. Mondada explores the knowledge, culture, and practice that underpins how we look at, smell, touch, taste and experience fine food. It is a careful and insightful analysis of service encounters that makes an important and wide-ranging contribution to our understanding of language, multimodality and embodied action.' Christian Heath, Professor of Work and Interaction, King's College London, UK
