Conversation Analysis: An Introduction by Jack Sidnell is a concise and clear primer to describing, analyzing, and understanding human talk. Combining theoretical descriptions and analysis of transcribed conversations, Sidnell (2010) explains the elements of conversational organization: turn-taking, action and understanding, preference, sequence, repair, turn construction, stories, and openings and closings. In addition, Sidnell opens the discussion about the role of topic and context in conversation analysis. Conversation Analysis: An Introduction is a good guide to conducting conversation analysis. This book is appropriate for those who are not familiar with conversation analysis and want to get a better understanding of this method and its major components. It can also be used to teach conversation analysis to undergraduate and graduate level students.

Summary In order to understand how mutual understanding was achieved in discursive interactions between the welfare service users and service practitioners, conversation analysis was conducted in four discussion panels set up for building consensus on the appropriate structure for user participation in service management. Conversations in eight panel discussion meetings were audio-taped for analysing the talks-in-interaction therein. Drawing on the conversation analysis, the article uncovers the dynamics of consensus building among participants from different epistemic communities. Findings The study identifies the extent of divergence in views among stakeholders, which could have been obscured by the pressure to acquiesce in platform of face-to-face coordination. In the contest for truth between the welfare service users and service practitioners, personal experience has not been accepted as legitimate resource for supporting truth claims. Having limited argument resources on issues of service management, the welfare service users perceived argumentation in panel discussion a threatening venture that they chose to avoid. Avoidance was also a strategy that panel participants employed to maintain mundane interactions in the face of looming dissents. The article argues that the Habermasian communicative ethics are not panacea to the problem of coordination between the welfare service users and service practitioners. An agonistic model of democracy is called for to shift the objective of communication from gauging consensus to encouraging articulation of disagreements in the intricate user participation project. Application The article provides a new direction for developing the user participation imperative to address necessary pluralities among stakeholders of welfare services.

Storytelling Practices in Home and Educational Contexts: Perspectives from Conversation AnalysisEdited by Anna Filipi, Binh Thanh Ta, and Maryanne Theobald(Springer, 2022)

Es ist nicht nur recht beschwerlich, sich durch die vielen unterschiedlichen diskursanalytischen Ansätze zur Untersuchung von Gesprächsinteraktionen hindurchzukämpfen. Eine zusätzliche Herausforderung besteht darin zu verstehen, ob und auf welche Art und Weise die je spezifische Methodik der hinter ihr liegenden theoretischen Komplexität gerecht wird. Hier scheinen Methoden notwendig, die hinreichend sensibel sind, um an der durch sie vermittelten Empirie überhaupt die Komplexität der dahinterliegenden Theorien zu demonstrieren, aus denen heraus erst der Wert und die Bedeutsamkeit einer Analyse entstehen kann. Um diese nicht einfache Aufgabe zu verdeutlichen, sollen zunächst einige aktuell diskutierte Spannungen zwischen zwei besonders prominenten Ansätzen – der Kritischen Diskursanalyse (CDA) und der Konversationsanalyse (CA) – beleuchtet werden. Im besonderen gilt die Aufmerksamkeit einigen neueren methodologischen Bemühungen um eine Verbindung zwischen CDA and CA. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird zu zeigen versucht, dass die "Positioning Analysis" einen gangbaren Weg bereithält, um die diskrepanten methodologischen Orientierungen mit den geteilten theoretischen Überzeugungen von CDA und CA zu vereinbaren.
