The idea of this article is to take the immaterial and somehow ethereal nature of aesthetic concepts seriously by asking how aesthetic concepts are negotiated and thus formed in communication. My examples come from theatrical production where aesthetic decisions naturally play a major role. In the given case, an aesthetic concept is introduced with which only the director, but none of the actors is familiar in the beginning of the rehearsals. The concept, Wabi Sabi, comes from Japanese culture. As the whole rehearsal process was video recorded, it is possible to track the process of how the concept is negotiated and acquired over time. So, instead of defining criteria what Wabi Sabi as an aesthetic concept “consists of,” this article seeks to show how the concept is introduced, explained and “used” within a practical context, in this case a theater rehearsal. In contrast to conventional models of aesthetic experience, I am interested in the ways in which an aesthetic concept is configured in and through socially organized interaction, and — vice versa — how that interaction contributes to the situational accomplishment of the same concept. In short: I am interested in the “doing” of aesthetic concepts, especially in “doing Wabi Sabi.”
Die Jahrestagung der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Linguistische Pragmatik e. V. hat auch in diesem Jahr pandemiebedingt online stattgefunden. Dem diesjährigen Tagungsthema „Pragmatik multimodal“ bot dieses Online-Setting daher eine besonders interessante Umgebung, da einige Vorträge Aspekte genau solcher Interaktionsrahmen näher beleuchten sollten. Aber nicht nur angesichts der immer noch fortschreitenden Digitalisierung hat sich der multimodale Betrachtungswinkel auch in anderen linguistischen Disziplinen zunehmend etabliert: So beschäftigen sich unter anderem die Text- und Diskursanalyse (u. a. Bucher 2011; Klug 2016; Mayr 2016), die Interaktionslinguistik (u. a. Hausendorf et al. 2016), die Kognitionslinguistik (u. a. Zima/Brône 2015; Spieß 2016) oder auch die Grammatikforschung (u. a. Fricke 2012; Schoonjans 2018) mit multimodalen Phänomenen im Rahmen ihrer je eigenen Erkenntnisinteressen. Um die Vielfalt dieser Erkenntnisinteressen, der diversen Ausprägungen des Phänomenbereichs und der methodischen Ansätze zur angemessenen Begegnung dieser Komplexität zu präsentieren und miteinander ins Gespräch zu bringen, haben Lars Bülow, Susanne Kabatnik, Marie-Luis Merten und Robert Mroczynski als Organisationsteam zu dieser Tagung eingeladen. Die thematische Bandbreite der Vorträge sollte dabei eine ausgewogene Grundlage bieten, um aktuelle Tendenzen und Herausforderungen einer pragmatisch fokussierten Erforschung multimodaler Kommunikation zu diskutieren und damit zur Verortung der linguistischen Pragmatik im Kontext anderer linguistischer Teildisziplinen beizutragen. Entsprechend veranschaulichten manche Vorträge eine eher disziplinspezifische Perspektive, andere stellten Überlegungen zu eher integrierenden Ansätzen vor.
Special Issue: Mobile Medienpraktiken im Spannungsfeld von Öffentlichkeit, Privatheit und Anonymität
(2019)
This special issue investigates early responses—responsive actions that (start to) unfold while the production of the responded-to turn and action is still under way. Although timing in human conduct has gained intense interest in research, the early production of responsive actions has so far largely remained unexplored. But what makes early responses possible? What do such responses tell us about the complex interplay between syntax, prosody, and embodied conduct? And what sorts of actions do participants accomplish by means of such early responses? By addressing these questions, the special issue seeks to offer new advances in the systematic analysis of temporal organization in interaction, contributing to broader discussions in the language and cognitive sciences as to the social coordination of human conduct.
According to Positioning Theory, participants in narrative interaction can position themselves on a representational level concerning the autobiographical, told self, and a performative level concerning the interactive and emotional self of the tellers. The performative self is usually much harder to pin down, because it is a non-propositional, enacted self. In contrast to everyday interaction, psychotherapists regularly topicalize the performative self explicitly. In our paper, we study how therapists respond to clients' narratives by interpretations of the client's conduct, shifting from the autobiographical identity of the told self, which is the focus of the client's story, to the present performative self of the client. Drawing on video recordings from three psychodynamic therapies (tiefenpsychologisch fundierte Psychotherapie) with 25 sessions each, we will analyze in detail five extracts of therapists' shifts from the representational to the performative self. We highlight four findings:
• Whereas, clients' narratives often serve to support identity claims in terms of personal psychological and moral characteristics, therapists rather tend to focus on clients' feelings, motives, current behavior, and ways of interacting.
• In response to clients' stories, therapists first show empathy and confirm clients' accounts, before shifting to clients' performative self.
• Therapists ground the shift to clients' performative self by references to clients' observable behavior.
• Therapists do not simply expect affiliation with their views on clients' performative self. Rather, they use such shifts to promote the clients' self-exploration. Yet, if clients resist to explore their selves in more detail, therapists more explicitly ascribe motives and feelings that clients do not seem to be aware of. The shift in positioning levels thus seems to have a preparatory function for engendering therapeutic insights.
