Abstract: |
This chapter summarizes a study involving a single instance of conversation taken from a larger collection of video taped naturally occurring interactions involving mobile phones. Using a conversation analytic approach, we draw on the concept of technological affordance and Goffman’s distinction between primary and secondary involvement to provide a nuanced look at how mobiles become integrated into co-
present interaction. Three themes emerge from our data when mobiles are used during co-present interaction: shifting between primary and secondary involvement is highly dynamic, the shift to mobile use as a secondary involvement depends on the speaking role that is being enacted during the co-present involvement, and the distinction
between primary and secondary involvement is blurred when reference to mobile interactions is made during co-present interaction. In each case, we argue that these occurrences can be explained with reference to the time and space transcending affordances of mobiles. |
