Abstract
This article investigates an interactional phenomenon in which oral history interview participants
deal with temporal structure in extended storytelling. It is based on the observation that while narrating a
life story, participants routinely use its temporal structure as an organizing principle of the interview.
Drawing inspiration from Sacks' notion of tying devices and Genette's distinction of prolepsis/analepsis, I
have identified two forms of practices that interrelate storytelling sequences in an interview. For the first
form, I propose the term analeptic tying: in this practice, turns produced earlier are treated as a resource
for the current turn. For the second form, I propose the term proleptic tying, which refers to planned turns
of speech that have yet to be produced being treated as a resource. I discuss the proleptic and analeptic
tying devices in relation to relevant research in ethnomethodology/conversation analysis, which is the
approach taken in this article.

Although mobility and movement has recently gained importance within interactionist studies of social action, not much is known about the consequentiality of being on the move for the particular unfolding of interactional episodes. Utilising two publicly accessible video clips of 'road rage' situations, we describe and analyse the centrality of hand-work in the escalation and decline of an emotionally charged interaction between members of traffic. Avoiding an a priori cognitivist stance, we show in detail how the work of hands can be constitutive of anger itself, and that it can lead to open conflict on the boundary of physical violence.

Contributing to interactionist studies of walking and to research on human-machine interaction, this article draws on video recordings of a self-driving shuttle being tested as a means of public transportation. The analytical focus is on yielding as achieved through the practice of pedestrians' stepping aside, stopping, and letting the shuttle pass. The paper examines and describes how solitary pedestrians "stop aside" as well as how mobile formations of multiple persons take part in the practice. Finally, it discusses stopping aside as a social action that is often followed by displays of gratitude and reflects on this facet with regard to automated vehicles. In the context of this special issue, the central claim advanced is that agency reflexively emerges from the organized and sequential character of the situation and is grounded in assemblages of human and technological aspects, rather than originating in clearly distinguishable singular actors or agents.

As in all fields and disciplines of the humanities, Jewish Studies scholars find themselves confronted with the rapidly increasing availability of digital resources (data), new technologies to interrogate and analyze them (tools), and the question of how to critically engage with these developments. This volume discusses how the digital turn has affected the field of Jewish Studies. It explores the current state of the art and probes how digital developments can be harnessed to address the specific questions, challenges and problems that Jewish Studies scholars confront. In a field characterised by dispersed sources, and heterogeneous scripts and languages that speak to a multitude of cultures and histories, of abundance as well as loss, what is the promise of Digital Humanities methods--and what are the challenges and pitfalls? The articles in this volume were originally presented at the international conference #DHJewish - Jewish Studies in the Digital Age, which was organised at the Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) at University of Luxembourg in January 2021. The first big international conference of its kind, it brought together more than sixty scholars and heritage practitioners to discuss how the digital turn affects the field of Jewish Studies
