Inspection sequences - multisensorial inspections of unfamiliar objects

    Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

    Abstract

    The social world is inextricably linked to its physical environment. The way in
    which social interaction makes material objects relevant to meaningful practices
    has consequences for the flow of interactions.
    In this article we examine how participants inspect unknown objects and how
    their different materiality determines the course of such inspections. We are interested in the resources that are mobilized in the inspection, how participants initiate, organize and complete these inspections; how they use different senses, depending on the materiality of the objects they are inspecting, and how they become momentarily unavailable for the surrounding interaction, while performing recognizably "private" activities.
    Our data come from design workshops, tastings, grocery shopping and teaching
    with different participation frameworks (single action, two- and multi-party interaction).
