|Abstract=A summons is a social action that speakers use when trying to secure the recipient’sattention. The next expected turn to a summons is a response, and the lack of onefrom the addressee can be seen as socially problematic. Drawing on the principlesof conversation analysis and video-recorded Finnish family interactions, this paperexamines moments when children (three- to eight-year-olds) summon adults multi-ple times with address terms. This paper shows that when adults fail to respond tochildren’s initial summonses, children often repeat the summonses and upgrade/downgrade them with prosodic and embodied practices. Additionally, children mayutilise embodied actions to change the interactional space and establish favourableconditions to advance their interactional project.

|Abstract=This paper studies how children initiate telling-on sequences in kindergartens. The focus is on multimodal practices that children (6–7-year-olds) employ when engaging adults (teachers/caregivers) and peers in the telling-on sequences. The paper demonstrates how children utilise varying multimodal resources as well as display their moral stances in their telling-ons to recruit the adults’ intervention in the conflicts. The analyses also illustrate how the varying participation frameworks co-constructed by the participants have the potential to influence the organisation of the telling-ons and overall conflict resolution. The findings are based on video-recorded naturally occurring interactions in an English-speaking kindergarten in Finland. The data are analysed using the principles of multimodal conversation analysis.

|Abstract=This study examines interactional moments of radio use in an adult learning setting, focusing on ways team members in a patrolling exercise participate in their colleague's project in UN military observer training. I show that in training settings, participation involves joint orientation to a shared objective, and it is used to facilitate learning and development of new skills. Radio communication is an emblematic part of UN military observers' work, and it is the way patrols keep in touch with their base. Learning to use the radio is thus an important objective in the training. The data come from authentic simulated military observer training using English as a lingua franca. Findings are scalable to and applicable in various collaborative working and learning settings.

|Abstract=This article-based dissertation examines a social action that is fundamental for establishing joint attention and intersubjectivity: the summons action. It studies how summons actions are produced, focusing on the vocal and embodied details in which summonses are designed to establish joint attention in social interaction. This study focuses specifically on summons actions produced by children to adults (parents or caregivers). The thesis demonstrates how children’s summonses are carefully orchestrated, naturally situated and contingent accomplishments that reveal the complexities of interaction that reside in naturally occurring child-adult interactions. The analyses also explore how adults respond to children’s summons turns in mundane yet interactionally complex settings and how their responses socialise children into the norms of social interaction. This dissertation employs the method of conversation analysis to study naturally occurring child-adult interactions among family members in cars and at family homes, and among children and their caregivers in kindergartens. The studied languages are English and Finnish. This dissertation consists of a summary and three original research articles. The first article studies interactions between children and their parents in cars and shows how the differently positioned and designed summons turns mobilise responses from the parents to different degrees. The second article focuses on interactions between children and their parents at homes and demonstrates how the children pursue responses from the parents with self-repeated summonses and through embodied conduct, and thus establish favourable conditions for further interaction. The third article explores children’s telling-on actions in kindergartens and illustrates how the children’s summonses and other attention-drawing practices change the interactional ecology and thus lead to transformations in the local participation frameworks. This summary provides a synthesis of the three articles and discusses the significance of the findings.

|Abstract=This study investigates interactional practices to negotiate epistemic asymmetries in multinational crisis management training in which English is used as a lingua franca (ELF). More specifically, we focus on exercises that include patrolling as well as other activities in which the trainees move by and interact in a vehicle. These exercises can be seen as “high stakes” environments that make orientation to urgency and safety issues relevant in the coordination of social conduct. Drawing on video recordings and ethnographic field notes from two United Nations military observer courses and using conversation analysis (CA), we examine moments in the exercises where the trainees orient to knowledge-related (i.e., epistemic) asymmetries in the upcoming or ongoing task. The analysis shows how these moments emerge and become solved in the moment-by-moment organization of interaction via utilization of verbal, linguistic and multimodal resources. We illustrate how some moments in the exercises allow the implementation of pre-emptive practices, whereas others call for corrective strategies and halting the ongoing task-related activity. The study sheds light on the situated practices the trainees use to establish mutual understanding and to advance goal-oriented activities in a mobile environment, and it promotes the temporal and sequential organization of social actions as key for collaborative work in crisis management training.

|Abstract=This chapter shows how workers initiate interactions in a complex workplace setting: a construction site. It focuses on encounters involving an ambulatory party and a (generally) stationary party. Three practices for approaching and initiating interaction are described—direct, oblique, and restricted approaches—each of which has particular implications for the interactions that they precede. Participants are shown orienting to trajectory and proximity as constitutive features of ambulatory openings. This chapter also considers “anticipatory openings”: opening turns issued by a party who sees that they are being approached, and which anticipates the likely reason for their being approached. The analysis is based on 80 openings in English and Spanish, identified in 10+ hours of video recordings of construction site activities.

|Abstract=This chapter explores the emergence of emotion among individuals in the midst of doing different activities while engaged in multiple concurrent participation frameworks. Drawing from intercorporeal and co-operative perspectives to interaction analysis, we examine how affective engagement across these simultaneously unfolding participation frameworks is accomplished in four different interactional ecologies: a baby’s health check-up in Finland, a mainstream classroom with deaf students in Peru, a celebratory gathering of friends in the US, and a video call between migrant parents and their children in China. With a focus on embodied aspects of emotion, our analysis shows that emotional engagement is prioritized in complex multiparty interactions, and how multimodality and multisensoriality of affective expression enables the individuals’ access to other participation frameworks.

|Abstract=In this chapter, we will investigate smartphone-based showing sequences in everyday social encounters, that is, moments in which a personal mobile device is used for presenting (audio-)visual content to co-present participants. Despite a growing interest in object-centred sequences and mundane technology use, detailed accounts of the sequential, multimodal, and material dimensions of showing sequences are lacking. Based on video data of social interactions in different languages and on the framework of multimodal interaction analysis, this chapter will explore the link between mobile device use and social practices. We will analyse how smartphone showers and their recipients coordinate the manipulation of a technological object with multiple courses of action, and reflect upon the fundamental complexity of this by-now routine joint activity.

|Abstract=In this paper, we analyse the organisation of participation in a screen-centred intergenerational interaction. Drawing on three excerpts documenting a family game session, we highlight spatial, material and temporal issues as constitutive dimensions for the study of interaction complexity. From a spatial perspective, participants can navigate between different positions in front of the screen, across a two-row arrangement and a side-by-side configuration. From a material perspective, the screen can be mobilised either as a technological device displaying the virtual setting for game actions or as a fragile object, from which children must keep a distance. From a temporal perspective, local accomplishments on the screen can be prospectively addressed, retrospectively assessed or embedded within the overall organisation of the session.

|Abstract=Games are ostensibly a special mode of interaction in which the ordinary rules and expectations of everyday life are temporarily put on hold. However, little research has examined how players themselves treat actions as being inside or outside of the game during their actual gameplay. This paper presents an analysis of face-to-face gameplay interactions in order to theorize, from players’ perspectives, a basis for categorizing activities as “outside”/“inside” the game, and what players treat as “metagaming” in situ. We use conversation analysis to inspect the multimodal ways in which gamers manage the complexities of multiple activities in the interactive context of tabletop board games. We show how players orient to the game’s ongoing progress while managing other concurrent activities.

|Abstract=Ordinary language describes food practices with verbs such as to eat, guzzle, munch, and taste, which show that participants differentiate between various ways of absorbing food and drinks in a morally accountable manner. This chapter discusses and systematically documents how participants in social interaction orient to the difference between eating and tasting, casting light on mundane practices, their embodied dimension, and their intelligibility and normativity. By so doing, the chapter addresses several challenges of multimodal analysis: the identification of embodied complex multimodal Gestalts, their situated details, their systematicity across contexts, and their temporal organization and embeddedness in the current activity, in terms of multiactivity or not. Moreover, practices like eating and tasting concern forms of corporeality still poorly addressed in ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, which relate not only to multimodality but also to multisensoriality. The chapter offers a systematic study of these practices across contexts, in different linguistic and cultural settings (a working day in a professional kitchen in Spain, commercial encounters at a market in Alsace/France, and dinners in a gastronomic restaurant in Lyon/France).

|Abstract=This chapter studies openings of interactions in immersive virtual reality (VR). Immersive VR refers to computer-generated and visually rich environments that create for the user a powerful sense of immersion. The data are video recordings of interactions collected in a multiplayer online game called Rec Room. The method is conversation analysis. The analysis focuses on openings of interactions between participants who either know each other or who do not know each other. We show how the shape of the openings reflects the complexity and fragmented nature of immersive VR as an interactional setting and the resources in it. We conclude that the openings are designed to minimise problems in the establishing of mutual orientation and intersubjectivity.

|Abstract=This chapter analyses how officers training to work in a multinational military staff orient to challenges caused by a lack of access to what their colleagues are saying, due to their conversing in a language they do not speak nor understand. The study uses conversation analysis to investigate situations where non-Finnish-speaking officers ascribe meaning to Finnish-language talk. The analyses examine the aspects of the prior talk the non-Finnish-speakers were able to interpret, the available semiotic resources these interpretations could be based on, and the next actions these turns achieve or make possible. The data consist of audio–video recordings made in the tactical operations centre (TOC) of a multinational brigade during an international computer-aided crisis management exercise.

|Abstract=This chapter examines a joint activity of giving and receiving instructions in a hybrid workshop including both co-located and dispersed participants. In this workshop, participants could engage in local, virtual, private, and public interactional spaces. Interaction in two teams is examined: Team 1, which is co-located with a chair giving the instructions, and a remote Team 2, which receives the instructions via video connection. Observations based on multimodal conversation analysis reveal occasional difficulties in Team 2 to understand the instructions. Three reasons are identified for their difficulties, all originating from moments when the chair transitions between interactional spaces before or during the instructions, indicating the existence of specific types of complexities in relation to the inter-spatial asymmetry of the setting.

|Abstract=This chapter examines nudging questions as devices for prompting courses of action in multinational Military Observer training. Nudging questions are a way to handle the complexity that associates with the interlocutors’ asymmetric experience and competence and the “role of being more experienced” in relation to other operative roles within the trainee teams. They are emergent and uniquely designed for the situated interactional trajectory and its relation to concurrent activities and change over the interactional episodes. Military discourse and learning in military settings are not built on imperatives, but courses of action can be initiated and progressed also by using softer means. The findings contribute to our understanding of how roles and responsibilities are negotiated and how intersubjectivity and deontic symmetry–or asymmetry–are maintained in collaborative situations.

|Abstract=This chapter draws on audio-visual data of interaction in the virtual reality space Rec Room and conversation analysis to examine intersubjectivity and its maintenance and re-establishment during the word explanation activity in a “charades” game. Features of VR spaces can create restrictions for the users as they engage in activities, leading to challenges in the progression and organisation of interaction. This chapter examines instances where access to a drawing, participants’ differing perspectives and access to their avatar bodies present challenges to the progression of the word explanation activity. The findings of this study imply that the use of certain verbal and embodied resources in the VR space emerge as solutions that allow the activity to be completed.

|Abstract=This chapter presents a conversation analytic study of a collection of 79 cases where a singer of a choir visibly orients to something in the singing being problematic and deviating from expectations. These embodied noticings most often target the producer’s own mistakes (self-initiation of repair), but sometimes also a fellow singer’s (other-initiation of repair). The noticings/repair initiations are produced while the (rest of the) choir sings, and thus, the cases involve multiactivity (hence providing an example of complexity of interaction): the two activities—singing and orienting to a mistake—can progress in parallel or be mutually exclusive. The analysis focuses on the orders of multiactivity as well as the nature of the noticing/repair initiating action (e.g., its response relevance) in the context of the collective activity of choir rehearsal.

|Abstract=This dissertation examines collaborative work and the ways it can be promoted and progressed in
a context novel for interaction research: multinational military observer training. The dissertation
consists of a summary and three original articles that focus on participants’ practices of “doing
patrolling”, that is, how participants in military observer training collaborate and coordinate their
actions to accomplish a mutual goal and how individual practices they employ advance their
overall project of patrolling. By using video recordings and ethnographic observations from
naturally occurring interactions in military observer training and employing the methods of
ethnomethodology and multimodal conversation analysis, the dissertation analyses and describes
some constitutive elements and practices of successful collaborative work. The study, thus, aims
to present a deep and multidimensional view of collaborative work and to conceptualise some of
the practices that can be used in and as part of it. The study also illustrates how the examination
of a complex, multi-level activity as well as of a highly specialised institutional setting can benefit
from a multi-method and multidimensional approach.
The dissertation explores interactional phenomena during military observer training, with a
special focus on what takes place in between the action points of training, when "nothing is going
on". The first article illustrates the routines and practices of navigation and shows how
navigational talk builds the foundation for patrolling work. The second article explores negotiating
trouble during radio-mediated communication, showing how troubles are solved in situ in the
patrolling vehicle. The third article investigates the use of questions to advance courses of action,
displaying the participants’ orientation to each other’s assigned and assumed roles. The
dissertation shows that collaborative work is indeed work done together, not work divided among
the participants, and establishes that it can be advanced with various, sometimes complex, and
subtle means. The examined practices show the participants’ multi-layered orientation to their
mutual work, but also their orientation to taskwork and teamwork. The findings are relevant to the
crisis management training community and can be used to further develop training.

|Abstract=UN military observers patrol crisis areas in small teams. Their task is to determine whether seen military activity constitutes a violation to ceasefire agreements. Failing to see or establish a shared understanding of the activity can be damaging to the mission or put the teams in danger. We use ethnomethodology and conversation analysis to analyse how military observers verbalise and categorise military activity in ‘noticings’. The data are video recordings collected in car patrols in a training course. The analysis is based on fifty-three episodes of the patrols encountering unexpected military activity. The analysis focuses on the design features of and categorisation practices in noticing actions. It also shows how the noticings invite seeing the noticed feature from a particular perspective and in this way build a context for the joint and emergent activities of ‘monitoring’ and ‘observing’. The findings showcase how noticing actions and monitoring and observing are accomplished in interaction. They highlight the role of talk and embodiment as part of military observers’ professional competence and for maintaining situational awareness. The findings are relevant for and can be integrated in UN military observer training.

|Abstract=In critical radio-mediated communication, fixed expressions clarify and expedite interaction and provide a shared vocabulary for lingua franca interlocutors. Sometimes, communication via radio encounters trouble that needs to be clarified. This article examines interactional episodes following fixed other-initiations of self-repair “say again” in radiotelephony, as part of patrolling exercises in military observer (MO) training. The episodes occur between the repair initiation and the repair solution. Radiotelephony is inherently dyadic, but the parties may consist of more than one person. During patrolling, interaction via radio takes place within two overlapping participation frameworks. The article focuses on practices of identifying and repairing trouble in the patrol vehicle. The data come from multinational MO training, where English as lingua franca is the working language. The analysis of talk and embodied actions, drawing on conversation analysis and ethnomethodologically informed ethnography, shows that trainees use their local participation framework as a resource to make sense of the trouble in situ. The article introduces a novel set of language data and broadens our understanding of formulaic repair practices and their uptake and handling repair within overlapping participation frameworks. The findings can be utilised in developing training practices and in settings where radio serves a pivotal role.

|Abstract=This study examines the decision-making processes of military observer trainee teams as they encounter a simulated, ‘life-threatening’ incident during a car-patrolling exercise. The study takes place in the context of a course which trains military officers to serve in UN peacekeeping operations as unarmed military observers. The data consist of audio-video recordings of eight trainee teams inside and around their patrol cars during a patrolling exercise, as well as of ethnographic field notes and observations. We use conversation analysis to examine what happens between the first noticing of the incident and the decision regarding the next action, and how the trainees work together to form a diagnosis of the situation and choose the appropriate action. The results show how the trainees make a first general interpretation on the situation immediately after its initial noticing and make visible their assessment of the incident site as either safe or unsafe to approach. These interpretations are crucial, as an incorrect interpretation often leads to action that puts the team in danger. The results also show how earlier shared events can affect the decision-making process, as they are indicated as points of comparison on which a team may base their interpretation of the current situation.

|Abstract=In this paper I analyse sequences where multilingual English as lingua franca (ELF) speakers codeswitch single lexical items from their native language in an attempt to resolve a word search or when displaying hesitancy. The main focus of the paper is on try-marking used by the speakers as a technique for securing recipient understanding of the codeswitched items. The analysis shows that try-marking does not only comprise rising intonation but also specific embodied resources that highlight and prolong the relevance of recipient response beyond prosodic marking. The analysis also presents a single case in which the speaker invites recipient confirmation of understanding without using rising intonation but by relying mainly on the end positioning of the target word near the transition relevance place in combination with response-mobilising embodied cues. The results add to our knowledge of how participants pre-empt trouble and achieve mutual understanding in linguistically diverse ELF settings.

|Abstract=This study investigates word finding difficulties in military meetings during a crisis management exercise in which English is used as a lingua franca (ELF). Multimodal conversation analysis (CA) is used to examine how searching for a next item in a turn-in-progress, i.e., a word search, is attended to via coordination of verbal and embodied conduct. The analysis shows different kinds of word search organizations: searches can be initiated and carried out without recruiting the co-participants’ assistance, co-participation can be invited to varying degrees, and searches can be collaboratively completed without the speaker's visible attempts to solicit assistance. These organizations are illustrative of the institutional and interactional context, namely that the opportunities to invite and manage co-participation via verbal and bodily-visual resources, such as gaze and indexing or iconic gestures, are in some cases more limited than in others. These opportunities are foremost connected to the sequential and sociomaterial environment of word searches and the situated roles enacted by the participants. The study highlights word searches as discrete activities that make linguistic and epistemic discrepancies between the speaker and co-participants relevant and negotiable in the moment-by-moment unfolding of interaction.

|Abstract=This chapter examines navigation and navigational routines as social and interactional activities in patrolling exercises in United Nations military observer (UNMO) training, showing how navigating is more than getting from point A to point B. The data come from two multinational MO courses where English is used as working language and lingua franca. By using navigation as an entry point to examine talk and interaction in patrol vehicles, this chapter illustrates how collaborative practices are created through performance of individual actions and their reiteration. Successful navigation provides anticipatory information for the team related to their route and position that can be used as a tool for making and reporting observations, and verbalises the location, thereby creating shared situational awareness. Navigation is also important for safety. The study offers insights on social and interactional activity in teamwork and the impact that team members’ actions have on collaborative work. The results can be utilised to further develop MO training, but they also benefit other simulated and practice-based training.

|Abstract=Abstract This article uses multimodal conversation analysis to investigate how the smartphone as a personal cognitive artifact features in second language (L2) use and learning. The data come from a pedagogical intervention that was organized as part of an integration learning course for adult L2 students with emerging literacy. The purpose of the intervention was to guide the students to participate in everyday interactions outside the language classroom and to learn from them. The analysis concentrates on a focal student's smartphone use during different phases of the intervention and offers a detailed account of how the smartphone provides affordances for the student to formulate recognizable social actions and participate in different phases of the pedagogical activity. The analysis adds to our current understanding of the role of mobile technology in L2 learning and illustrates how experiential pedagogy supports language learning as social activity. The findings can be used in designing pedagogical practices that support L2 students to develop their interactional competences on the basis of their own needs and goals.

|Abstract=Although misunderstandings as such have been extensively studied, the ways in which problems of understanding are avoided—especially in cross-cultural communication—have so far received limited attention. This article examines over 24 h of private conversation data from seven established, intercultural couples who use lingua franca English as their ‘couple tongue’. Thorough conversation analysis reveals that these couples utilize a remarkably diverse range of strategies to pre-empt misunderstandings and to construct shared understanding, all the while enforcing their ‘couplehood’. Misunderstandings are not very frequent, and when they do occur, they mainly seem to derive from the ‘common ground fallacy’, the expectation to achieve shared understanding from fewer cues. Compared with findings from less private English as a lingua franca (ELF) encounters, ELF couples resort to direct clarification requests more often but avoid imposing on the partner with word suggestions. They are also found to use innovative extralinguistic means such as pointing, showing, drawing, acting, deixis, and onomatopoeia. It is suggested that the stage of familiarity of speakers should be regarded as one key factor when examining language in interaction and understanding.

|Abstract=Pointing has been extensively studied in the Gesture Studies literature. This chapter treats pointing, together with other gestures mobilizing the entire body, as multimodal resources deployed by speakers in referring actions that orient to and are responded to by the co-participants. Using conversation analysis, the paper examines the organization of actions in which a speaker initiates a new sequence and, by pointing, establishes the joint attention of the co-participants towards an object. These actions show the complexity of pointing as an interactional phenomenon concerning the organization of turns and sequences. The data consist of video-recorded naturally occurring social interactions and, more specifically, guided visits, which are perspicuous settings for the study of pointing and achieving joint attention.

|Abstract=Demonstrating a sports technique to students presents coaches and teachers a practical challenge: How to communicate a multi-phased and fleeting movement of the body effectively and in a manner which also makes clear the temporal relation of the individual phases of the movement? By using video-based methods and video recordings collected in budo sports training, this paper illustrates how teachers parse a complicated and fast-paced technique into individual steps by resorting to talk and embodied means. Furthermore, we examine how the teachers can move back and forth between these steps with an interactional practice we call ‘return-practice’. By employing this practice, the teachers provide additional information regarding particular steps, highlight the simultaneous nature of particular body movements, demonstrate alternative ways of performing the technique, and illustrate the consequences of the incorrect performance of these steps. The linguistic design of the ‘return-practice’ is shown to differ in the above four functions.

|Abstract=This doctoral dissertation investigates how participants in technology-mediated (i.e. distant) meetings coordinate their actions sequentially, temporally and multimodally. Drawing on authentic video-recorded data from an international company and taking conversation analysis as the theoretical and methodological starting point, the study explores the use of verbal and embodied resources in co-constructing and reconfiguring the frames and (pre)conditions of interaction, i.e. the interactional space(s). Distant meetings are presented as joint accomplishments in which one’s presence and participation are constantly negotiated on a turn-by-turn basis. The thesis consists of four research articles and this overview. Article I investigates the beginnings of distant meetings, showing a stepwise progression of openings in two stages: 1) entering the meeting space and negotiating one’s co-presence and 2) establishing shared focus on the meeting proper. Article II examines moments of interactional trouble with a special focus on the local participants’ displays of alignment and affiliation, revealing their preference for transforming the interactional spaces and engaging in community building over making explicit attempts to solve the problem. Article III focuses on the closings of meetings, showing how the fine-grained organization of social actions during crucial moments in the overall closing trajectory has consequences for the ways interactional spaces are reconfigured. Article IV is a case analysis of a video-mediated meeting in which a more enhanced collaborative system is used and shows how, in that particular setting, embodied noticings can occasion the recovery of interactional spaces. It complements the research by highlighting the importance of understanding how different multimodal resources can engender new affordances. This dissertation shows that in organizing the ongoing interaction, the participants of distant meetings make use of various verbal and bodily-visual practices that require a skilful use of the social, material, and linguistic resources that come to play at specific moments in time and space. The research sheds new light on the challenges and affordances of technology-mediated environments and how they are made locally and interactionally relevant.

|Abstract=This thesis examines multimodal practices used for managing multiple parallel activities, and studies how participants in social interaction make visible their local prioritisation of one activity over another. It consists of a summary and three original articles, which present different practices with which participants manage their involvement in multiactivity by making publicly visible their prioritisation of one activity over another. The thesis uses the conversation analytic method to study naturally occurring conversations, and the data for the study consists of video recordings of everyday interactions in both domestic and work settings. The languages used in the data are English, Finnish, and French. The thesis shows how participants in face-to-face interaction use priority displays to visibly give priority to one activity over another by (re-)allocating some of their embodied resources — the body, gaze, and hands — away from the lower hierarchised activity and to the prioritised one. What activity is prioritised can be either due to a participant’s trouble in conducting the activities simultaneously, or, as argued in this thesis, done for interactional purposes, such as prompting action from a co-participant. The embodied practices for making the hierarchisation of activities visible are recognised and oriented to by co-participants, who adjust their own activities to enable a successive coordination of the simultaneous activities, leading to the minimisation of parallel involvements. The findings also suggest that, in addition to a participant’s direct involvement in two or more parallel activities, publicly visible and socially relevant orientation to two or more parallel activities could be considered as involvement in said activities. This thesis contributes to research on social interaction and the organisation of multiactivity by providing new knowledge on how participants manage and orient to the different temporal and sequential demands related to multiactivity.

'''Interaction and discourse in flux: Changing landscapes of everyday life'''

'''University of Oulu, Finland, 24-26 April, 2019'''

This conference explores how changes in society emerge in interactions and discourses. How do these changes influence, and how are they influenced by, participants in various contexts of work and everyday life? We warmly welcome contributions that outline future trends and present new perspectives on interaction and discourse studies. Presentations may investigate the complexity of different settings, data, methods and theories.

We invite papers and posters from different viewpoints, such as:

* Methodologies in flux: developing and combining different methods and materials, covering also big data and thick data
* Research approaches in flux: reconsidering theories, societal impact of research, researchers' responsibility in engaging in public discourse
* Technologies in flux: relationships and interactions with, via and within ubiquitous technologies
* Participation in flux: examinations of togetherness, encounters and human sociality in different settings; how access and participation may be redefined, e.g., in working life, education and online environments

The theme can be examined from, but is not restricted to, the following research approaches and strategies: action research, activity theory, content analysis, conversation analysis, cultural-historical activity theory, discourse analysis, ethnography, mediated discourse analysis, multimodal interaction analysis, narrative analysis and nexus analysis.

The invited keynote speakers address the conference theme from their respective viewpoints:

*''Jon Hindmarsh'', King’s College London

*''Rodney Jones'', University of Reading Leena Kuure, University of Oulu

|Abstract=This article uses conversation analysis to study other-initiated repair in multiactivity situations. The article focuses on two aspects of the repair initiator's embodied conduct directly connected to the initiator's involvement in multiactivity: body torque and the suspension of a parallel manual activity. The analysis reveals how the body torque and suspension of manual activity, when co-occurring with other-initiations of repair, display the OIR-speaker's temporary disengagement from the manual activity and how this embodied conduct communicates downward prioritization of the manual activity and increased involvement in the interaction. This article shows that, to participants in a conversation and simultaneously involved in multiactivity, solving interactional trouble is prioritized over the progression of the parallel manual task and that this hierarchization of activities displays a strong preference toward restoration and maintenance of intersubjectivity. Data are in English and in French with English translation.
