|Announcement text=Dear colleagues and friends,

We are excited to extend an invitation to submit proposals for our upcoming panel at the 2024 Barcelona EASA biennale, titled "Digital Sensorialities and Affects". This panel, convened by David Berliner, Mariia Erofeeva (Université libre de Bruxelles), and Nils Klowait (Paderborn University), promises to be a stimulating and innovative exploration of the intersection of digital experiences and human sensoriality. Although the conference is anthropological, we would like to attract multimodality scholars (multimodal CA, linguistic anthropology, video-mediated communication) and make our panel more focused. More information below.

To participate, please submit your 250-word abstract through the EASA Call for Papers process.

P044: Digital Sensorialities and Affects

Short Abstract:

This panel delves into the heart of mediated experiences—video calls, social media, virtual realities, and the vast expanses of fictious online worlds. We critically examine the emergent patterns of sensorialities, interactions, identities, affects and embodiments shaped within these environments.

Long Abstract:

In a world confronting incessant emergencies—pandemics, wars, ecological crises—humankind grapples with the need to both “undo” established ways of being and “do” innovative forms of existence. Digital environments that cultivate collective experiences from afar provide a particular arrangement for the latter, a construction site for novel patterns of sociality, presence, and perception. This panel delves into the heart of mediated experiences—video calls, social media, virtual realities, and the vast expanses of fictious online worlds. We critically examine the emergent patterns of connectivities, interactions, identities, affects and embodiments shaped within these realms. Considering views that sensory perception is culturally contingent, and claims on the constructed nature of senses, we extend these debates into digital landscapes. Integrating insights from sensorial, affect and digital anthropology, this panel seeks to forge a novel discourse on digital sensorialities and feelings. We call for an interrogation into how sensory perception, emotional dispositions and bodily presence are reconfigured in digital environments. We challenge contributors to explore the augmentation of the body within digital domains and the resultant forms of embodiment; emotional experiences and togetherness in virtual worlds; the personal attachments to virtual representations (such as avatars) and the technologies enabling them. At the crossroad of theoretical/methodological discussions and ethnographical cases, this panel aims at contributing to a richer understanding of human sensory, emotional and social experiences in an increasingly digital world thus “doing” anthropology innovatively while “undoing” its conventional constraints.

EMCA Zoom Conference in Russia 2023

|Full title=EMCA Zoom Conference in Russia April 21-22, 2023
|Short title=EMCA_RU2023
|Short summary=This week Moscow Multimodality Group will be holding the online section on EMCA. Prof. Candy Goodwin will be giving a talk on dying as a part of living dedicated to Chuck. Full programme is available here bit.ly/3MYPpo0
|Announcement text=Moscow Multimodality Group are organizing the online section on EMCA at the conference in their home university in Moscow, Russia. This section is an attempt to keep remaining scholars and students engaged in multimodality research when the majority of teaching staff is away; to show that our community exists across borders.

We will discuss how professional vision is emerging among members of the historical fencing club, how participants react to the absence of second pair parts in neurodiverse interactions, how breastfeeding interactions are organised in the context of Finnish healthcare, and much more.

Our keynote speaker prof. Marjorie Harness Goodwin will be giving a talk on dying as a part of living dedicated to Chuck Goodwin.

Additionally, two data sessions will be held on Friday and Saturday: one on Friday exploring how a 10-year old multimodal communicator uses gaze to communicate with his mother; on Saturday we will look at how cats take turns during play.

Full programme is available here bit.ly/3MYPpo0

We cordially invite everybody to join the discussion. If you would like to join, please email dr.maria.erofeeva@gmail.com, and we will send you a Zoom link.

|Abstract=In virtual reality (VR), participants may not always have hands, bodies, eyes, or even voices—using VR helmets and two controllers, participants control an avatar through virtual worlds that do not necessarily obey familiar laws of physics; moreover, the avatar’s bodily characteristics may not neatly match our bodies in the physical world. Despite these limitations and specificities, humans get things done through collaboration and the creative use of the environment. While multiuser interactive VR is attracting greater numbers of participants, there are currently few attempts to analyze the in situ interaction systematically. This paper proposes a video-analytic detail-oriented methodological framework for studying virtual reality interaction. Using multimodal conversation analysis, the paper investigates a nonverbal, embodied, two-person interaction: two players in a survival game strive to gesturally resolve a misunderstanding regarding an in-game mechanic—however, both of their microphones are turned off for the duration of play. The players’ inability to resort to complex language to resolve this issue results in a dense sequence of back-and-forth activity involving gestures, object manipulation, gaze, and body work. Most crucially, timing and modified repetitions of previously produced actions turn out to be the key to overcome both technical and communicative challenges. The paper analyzes these action sequences, demonstrates how they generate intended outcomes, and proposes a vocabulary to speak about these types of interaction more generally. The findings demonstrate the viability of multimodal analysis of VR interaction, shed light on unique challenges of analyzing interaction in virtual reality, and generate broader methodological insights about the study of nonverbal action.

This section is an attempt to keep remaining scholars and students engaged in multimodality research when the majority of teaching staff is away; to show that our community exists across borders.

The special focus of our section is current debates in EMCA, such as multimodality and multisensoriality, epistemics, materiality, intercorporeality, and non-human social interaction. We invite scholars who are inspired by the complexity and elegance of social interaction and engaged in research applying EMCA approaches to share their findings and join the discussion.
