| Summary |
"Embodied Family Choreography Embodied Family Choreography documents the lived and embodied practices employed to establish, maintain, and negotiate intimate social relationships in the family, examining forms of control, care, and mundane creativity. Making use of the extensive video archives of family interaction of the Centers for Everyday Lives of Families in the US and Sweden, it presents the first investigation of how touch and interaction between bodies, in conjunction with talk, constitute a primary means of orchestrating activities through directives, of creating rich relationships through routine greeting and farewell interchanges, and engaging in playful explorations of the world. Through close investigation of the sequential and simultaneous engagement of bodies interacting with other bodies, this book makes visible the important role touch plays in the context of contemporary Western middle-class family life and is pioneering in its analysis of how the visual, aural, and haptic senses (usually analyzed separately) mutually elaborate one another. As such, Embodied Family Choreography will appeal to scholars of child development, the sociology of the family, childhood studies, linguistic anthropology, ethnomethodology, and conversation analysis."--Provided by publisher |
