Many thanks to @sgrosjean.bsky.social for her visit yesterday at the Institute of Informatics at HES-SO Valais-Wallis, and to everyone who participated!
Sylvie gave a talk "From Daily Struggles to Digital Support: Co-Designing an AI-Powered Self-Care Technology with People with Parkinson's".

The new special issue of Narrative Inquiry is on "Life Storytelling across Media and Contexts".

It also includes our paper on 'comparative work' in analysing oral history retellings written with J. Kocián, H. Maliukov and K. Roginer Hofmeister.

Happy to share offprints -- just drop me a message...

In June 2024, a special issue CFP on the Chicago School sparked a collaboration with @robinjsmith.bsky.social, Terry, Erik & Patrik. Inspired by Sacks' (1992:27) appreciative critique, we explored how CS ethnography may relate to the development of #EMCA. Our paper is now out #OpenAccess: t.ly/Has34

Now I remembered what actually prompted the paper -- it was this footnote in our previous article. We realized that such "footnoting" is a characteristically predominant way of dealing with poetics and wanted to explore that further.

Our new #EMCA paper, co-authored with Yeji Rieser, is out in #QualitativeResearch!

We revisit a rich but often overlooked strand of conversation analysis, exploring how transcription practices deal with the wildness of talk's poeticity.

It's been around for a while too... From Sacks' Lectures (p. 385):

The photos are from the book "Garfinkel's Study", taken in 2008-2009 and (self)published shortly after.

For the EM corner, I've been recently taking reading recommendations from "the source", so to speak... This is what Garfinkel used to call, metaphorically, the "Ten Foot Shelf": a collection of books that he regarded as exemplary.

Our #EMCA study published in the latest issue of Visual Studies, done in 2017 in Blue Factory (Fribourg, CH) illuminates the ubiquitous social phenomenon of “holding a place” by examining how people in co-working spaces use markers of presence to visually signal occupancy.

Ever wondered how the location of hearers and recording devices impacts the analysis of social activities? Our study with Esther González-Martínez dives into this puzzle, examining how audibility changes with spatial dynamics in hospital corridors. #EMCA #Acoustics #Soundscapes t.ly/JQz5a

Harvey Sacks' (1935–1975) birthday today.

"We are trying not to arrange things conveniently but to find out how they are arranged." (HS in Sanches & Blount, eds., 1975, p. 66)

Many thanks to Hamed Alavi for inviting me to contribute a couple of thoughts to this paper/provocation on "Dangers of Designing with Data":
dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

When we worked on Garfinkel's early studies of "AI", we knew the archival materials are special but not really how unique they are... And that they're the only known examples of conversations with the original ELIZA.
Scans are out now: t.ly/sEEbY
Our paper with Clemens, Jason and Anne: t.ly/PtmS7

Our new #OpenAccess paper explores the educational potential of an AI-based medical imaging platform #QuantImage. We show how knowledge of #radiomics and knowledge of the specific platform intertwine in the details of situated collaborative work.
