Critical Conversation Analysis by Hansun Zhang Waring

Critical Conversation Analysis by Hansun Zhang Waring

Showcases the power of conversation analysis as a methodology to tackle issues of social (in)justice and (in)equity. This book presents the first collection of conversation analytic studies addressed exclusively to issues of inequality and injustice. It offers a broad depiction of how inequality and injustice are reproduced, resisted and transformed in our daily life; together the chapters produce a forensic analysis of how participants enact discriminatory ideologies, negotiate systemic power imbalances, and pursue social change in and through the nuances of their interactions. The authors draw on audio and video recordings of interaction in a wide range of social settings, ranging from classrooms to family dinners, and political town halls to television sitcoms. The book demonstrates the power of conversation analysis to tackle issues of social (in)justice and (in)equality and launches critical conversation analysis as a distinct empirical program dedicated to systematically investigating and promoting inclusion and equity in the minute details of everyday interaction.

At last, a volume devoted to the promise of CA and MCA for equity-oriented praxis in applied linguisticsWaring and Tadic's timely collection substantively advances the debate about “motivated” CA and MCA, and will be of relevance to apprentice and experienced researchers concerned with how inequity and social injustice are produced, reproduced, and resisted in interaction. * Steven Talmy, University of British Columbia, Canada *
This is an exceptionally timely and important collection of critical CA work that powerfully demonstrates how inequalities and injustice are embedded and reproduced in talk-in-interaction. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the everyday production of discrimination and how it can be interactionally exposed and challenged. * Susan Speer, University of Manchester, UK *
For decades, issues of power, inequality, injustice, prejudice and discrimination have been simmering in the literature of Conversation Analysis. Now, in this remarkable volume, the pot that contains these issues has come to a full boil. The studies by seasoned authors and collaborators leave basic research in CA with its own continued integrity, but the cumulative, spillover effects of Critical Conversation Analysis will shift analytic attention in the field immediately and for years to come. Readers take note! * Douglas W. Maynard, Professor Emeritus, University of Wisconsin, USA *
