ann text: Marco Pino: m.pino@lboro.ac.uk Ruth Parry: ruth.parry@nottingham.ac.uk This panel brings together studies that take an interactional approach to death as a topic in conversation. How do people talk about dying? What norms and constraints inform their practices for initiating, managing, and closing off conversations about dying? Our panel specifically focuses on occasions where people are demonstrably orienting to the death of one of the parties to the interaction (or someone close to them) as a relevant matter or concern within the interaction; at the same time, it takes a broad approach in terms of how death can become relevant for the participants – as a topic for the conversation or as a relevant concern within specific action sequences and activities (e.g. making plans for future care). This line of inquiry is timely given increasing cultural and political trends – or even pressures – that encourage individuals to discuss, think about, and make preparations for their own dying. These trends are underpinned by assumptions that death is not discussed enough (due to cultural taboo) and that this has negative repercussions in terms of missed opportunities to prepare for one’s end. Health professionals have been called upon to encourage patients to discuss dying and communicate their wishes about the care and support they want for their end of life. There is evidence that both healthcare professionals and patients regard talk about death as important, but at the same time difficult to initiate. Conversation analytic studies showed that death is a special topic insofar as people orient to distinctive interactional norms for initiating, managing, and terminating discussions about death. Holt’s (1993) study on how people announce the death of a mutual acquaintance in informal telephone conversations shows that people recurrently follow talk about death with more positive commentaries within “bright side sequences”. Studies on healthcare interactions (in HIV counselling,…
