Hur barn gör måltid
- 2013

Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation focuses on interaction patterns between preschool children when doing mealtime in a preschool environment, analyzing how social order is displayed and constituted among 3 – to 6-year-olds. The analyses draw on a video ethnography with 15 hours of video recordings (30 mealtime events). An overall issue concerns how the participants position themselves as social actors in face-to-face conversations, and more specifically how the children themselves collaborate in making sense out of their daily lives within their peer groups.Theoretically, the thesis builds on social practice theories, including social constructivist perspectives, work on positionings and studies of language socialization (Ochs, 1996; Ochs, Pontecorvo & Fasulo, 1996; Ochs & Shohet, 2006). The findings show how children when eating together in their peer groups during mealtime participate and act on their own in the creation of mealtime rules and a local social interaction order (Goffman, 1983) and how the children direct each other and create and recreate a local mealtime order.

Att formulera problem i barnpsykiatriska samtal
- 2023
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The present study explores problem-formulation processes in Swedish child and adolescent psychiatry (Sw. Barn- och ungdomspsykiatri, BUP), drawing on an ethnomethodological conversation analytic approach to institutional talk. Data consists of video and audio recordings of 15 initial assessments, one therapeutic contact (six sessions) and one neuropsychiatric assessment (12 sessions), with children and adolescents aged 10 to 17. Shorter sequences as well as longer processes spanning several sessions are analyzed. While much prior research has examined caregiver-clinician interaction in cases involving younger children, the present study explicitly focuses on the child as an active participant.The analyses of the initial assessments demonstrate how children resist caregivers’ problem formulations by presenting alternative versions of these formulations that draw on their in-depth knowledge of their own everyday life. Clinicians’ strategies of orchestrating the talk in these sequences are shown to be critical in balancing children’s and caregivers’ relative epistemic status. In the therapeutic interactions, the analyses focus on how the participants use reported speech as an interactional resource to illustrate problematic communication patterns in the family, to model alternative courses of action, and to communicate therapeutic change. In these encounters, the child takes an active role in the process of problem formulation. Finally, neuropsychiatric assessment interactions are analyzed with a focus on the clinical sense-making process through which a shared understanding of the child’s problems is negotiated in initial and concluding phases of the contact.Through attending to clinical sense-making in negotiations between adolescents and caregivers, the study provides nuance to the image of medical interaction as primarily characterized by tensions between contrasting life-world and medical perspectives. The concluding discussion addresses how knowledge claims and conflicting versions of psychiatric problems are managed in multi-party interactions, as well as how boundaries between normality and deviance are negotiated in processes of interaction.

Nurturing a heritage language : Language-centered practices in mother-child interactions in multilingual families
- 2022
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Situated within research on language socialization and family language policy, this thesis explores how young children (2–4 years old) learn their heritage language in multilingual, transnational families, and how multilingualism becomes an integral part of family life. It draws on video-ethnographic fieldwork in three bi/multilingual families in Sweden with preschool-aged children where the mothers speak Russian and the parents aspire to raise children multilingually.Using a multimodal interactional analysis, the three studies identify and examine recurrent language practices that promote the children’s use of the heritage language, Russian, in mother-child interactions. They approach heritage language maintenance as embedded in mundane activities such as home language lessons during collaboratively accomplished chores (Study I), conversational storytelling during mealtime (Study II), and co-narration during literacy events (Study III).The analyses focus on the interactional organization of language learning agendas and heritage language socialization environments that are initiated by the mothers to scaffold their children’s learning and use of Russian. In particular, this study illuminates various ways to engage the children in collaborative Russian speech production, including mutually enjoyable embodied performances. Moreover, it is shown in detail how high expectations of children as heritage language speakers and learners and educational efforts are interactionally balanced through relational work.The findings suggest that the realization of family language policy to support heritage language development relies not only on consistent language choice, frequency of language use, and parental strategies and ideologies, but also on how language choice and language use are embedded in the ongoing activity, how activity formats are organized and appropriated by the children, the position of the child as a speaker vis-à-vis the parent, and affective alignments. The study uncovers an interplay of educational, relational, ideological, and pragmatic dimensions of heritage language socialization in the home. In this way, the thesis contributes to a more nuanced understanding of family language policy and children’s emergent multilingualism as integrated in everyday family life.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study explores how preteen children in everyday interaction mobilize relationship categories to negotiate what counts as appropriate romantic feelings among peers. The analysis draws on ethnomethodological work on membership categorization and conversation analysis, integrated with ethnographic knowledge of children’s social life. Particular attention is on how children make claims of and resist membership in a particular relationship category (that of boyfriend- girlfriend). The sequential analysis shows how category-based claims of ‘liking someone’ and ‘being together,’ indexing a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, are responded to with resistance and denials. Categorical claims are also turned into public performances of relational pairing invoking the normative character of romantic matchmaking. The findings suggest that norms of feelings play a central role in preteen children’s emotional behavior, and serve as important cultural resources for children to address their emergent concerns regarding peer group relationships.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Based on ethnographic fieldwork, we explore how boys use jocular play to perform romantic relationships in their peer culture and construction of masculinities. The analysis combines an ethnomethodological approach to doing gender with poststructuralist-influenced studies on masculinity and boyhood. We demonstrate how the boys - through game-playing, teasing, humorous narration, and ritual insults - do gender while they explore potentially embarrassing romantic experiences. The boys police and produce acceptable heterosexual masculinities while having fun and doing friendship, demonstrating the dynamic and entertaining potentials of performing romantic relationships in jocular peer play.

Retande, berättelser och kategoriseringar : Om vänskap och kärlek i barns relationsprat
- 2023
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis focuses on how middle school children organize peer group relationships through various forms of so-called relational talk (Evaldsson, 2007), while they also negotiate and more generally make sense of friendships and romantic relationships. Prior micro-sociological research has demonstrated how children in everyday language practices through, for example, teasing, assessments, and storytelling—articulate and manage social relationships and behaviors, moral views, and shared cultural knowledge, thereby constructing their emerging social worlds (see Goodwin & Kyratzis, 2011, for an overview). Several ethnographic studies have also shown how children in everyday peer group interactions construct gendered cultures, encompassing gender hierarchies and heteronormative ordering, while managing social relationships (Renold, 2005). This study is a continued exploration into these areas, building on ethnographic fieldwork, including participant observations, video recordings, and focus group interviews with friendship groups among children in two fifth grade classes in a Swedish school setting. The analysis draws on an ethnomethodological multimodal interactional approach to talk-in- interaction (Goodwin, 1990), combined with membership categorization work (Stokoe, 2010) and ethnographic knowledge of the local culture (Evaldsson, 2021; Goodwin, 2014).The analysis shows that humor-oriented language practices, such as teasing and joking, function as a resource for children to address potentially sensitive and/or embarrassing aspects of social relationships, where humor and collective laughter work as a de-dramatizing resource while building local peer group relationships (cf. Eder, 1991). Moreover, the results show that children’s way of articulating and making sense of their views on friendship and romance through storytelling, assessments, and jocular play is related to a moral dimension, as they index and negotiate (un)acceptable behaviors. This dimension becomes visible through their invocation and management of membership categorizations, person descriptions, and evaluative comments in their local identity work. Simultaneously, the analysis demonstrates how ethnographic knowledge of children’s social life is central in understanding how wider social dynamics become part of the local peer cultures of preteen children (Evaldsson, 2005a; Goodwin, 2011), especially regarding how the negotiation of local categories and their embedded meanings is related to wider social categorizations of gender, social class, and age. Overall, this thesis demonstrates how children as social actors use a variety of interactional resources (i.e., talk, laughter, loud voices, facial expressions, smiles, and gestures) to organize local peer group relationships, while collectively staging, negotiating, and making sense of both romance and friendship.

Meningsfulla förflutenheter : Traditionalisering och teatralisering i en klosterruin
- 2003
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The major objective of this thesis is to study the processes of traditionalisation that are being enacted in relation to both the external and internal production of the play "The Power and the Glory" that has been performed in Alvastra Abbey ruin since 1988. During three weeks in July the ruins and their environs are transformed into a rehearsal area, and a live stage, with lay actors performing different roles, a supporting staff and an audience. The thesis asks questions about how the staging of the play is impacted by a politics of culture, why this particular site or topography can be read as a story about a nation, what mediating connections there are between the yearly productions and, finally, how the rehearsals activate and reproduce the accumulated memory of the play and the place.The thesis connects with discussions on how "space" is charged with symbolic and cultural meanings, the use of history and cultural heritage, and story-telling. These approaches are combined with analysis of how participants in interaction use multiple resources (talk, spatial organisation, gestures, gazes, movements and postures) to invokethe spatial aspects of the play as well as to put the story of the play in place. The methodological approach of the thesis combines fieldwork (personal observations, videotaping and audio-recordings) with analysis of written material, press cuttings, archival material, and books and illustrations about the area and its history.In conclusion, this dissertation makes visible how Alvastra Abbey is associated with imagined cultural, political and social entities such as a nation, a province, and a local community. "The Power and the Glory", it appears, constitutes one agent among others in a long term meaning making process. One point made in this book is that although the story of the play is legitimised through references to a past that already has become meaningful in earlier processes of traditionalisation, the work of the Association of Alvastra Chronicle Play and the rehearsal process also creates a traditionalisation process of its own.
