Fredag 18. februar kommer samtaleforskeren Jo Angouri til Blindern for å holde en forelesning om møtesamtaler. Etter forelesningen blir det også en liten workshop, hvor formålet er å diskutere datamaterialet som presenteres fra ulike teoretiske vinkler. – Angouri tar selv utgangspunkt i interaksjonelle sosiolingvistikk i sine analyser, og hun skiller seg derfor fra CA særlig når det gjelder synet på kontekst. Dette vil forhåpentligvis føre til en givende diskusjon om analysemåter og synet på kontekst i de ulike tilnærmingene til samtale.

I sin egen presentasjon om hva hun vil snakke om, skriver hun:

The aim of this paper is to discuss disagreement in meeting talk. The meeting is a central communicative event in corporate white collar workplace environments and provides the site where many aspects of workplace communication are instantiated or performed. I focus on problem solving meeting talk and discuss how people do disagreement in different Communities of Practice in their workplace. Disagreement and conflict have been seen in earlier work as face threatening acts potentially impolite or dispreferred (e.g. Pomerantz, 1984). While agreement has been associated with politeness, disagreement brings the status quo into scrutiny, has been seen as open to classification as impolite, bearing face implications for the interactants. However, more recent work points at the importance of context and local practices instead of an a priori approach to what is acceptable allowed or preferred in a given interaction. Accordingly, the paper takes a socially situated approach to workplace talk in general and problem soving talk in particular and discusses instances where disagreement occurs.
