Call for Papers:

We invite the submission of abstracts to participate in a panel on ''The
Interactive construction of morality ''  at IPrA 2019 (Organisers: Dr Rosina
Marquez Reiter , University of Surrey and Prof Michael Haugh, The University
of Queensland)

Questions of morality have recently entered the pragmatics research agenda,
especially in impoliteness studies (Culpeper 2011; Haugh 2015; Haugh & Kádár
2013; Kádár 2017; Kádár & Márquez Reiter 2015, forth). Conversational
participants have been shown to evaluate their own and others' behaviour in
terms of right or wrong, and to orient their (re)actions to a perceived (lack)
of reciprocity in normative behavioural expectations.

The relative visibility of issues of morality in impoliteness studies points
to the importance of understanding the broader moral dimension in which
impoliteness practices are embedded. This is especially relevant at a time
where a dearth and 'death of morality' (Salman Rushdie 1996) is said to
characterise contemporary societies, and yet we are also witnessing a
concomitant rise in moralising via social media and forms of
digitally-mediated communication.

The panel speaks to the moral turn in humanities and the social sciences (e.g.
Bauman 2001; Botlanski 1999; Chouliaraki 2013; Laidlaw 2002; Singer 2009). It
offers a pragmatic perspective on the interactive function of morality in the
construction of everyday interactions where social values and traditions are
invoked, endorsed or contested.

Papers in the panel will focus on situated face-to-face or mediated
institutional or non-institutional interactions where morality, moralizing
and/or morally-loaded actions or activities are constructed (e.g. blamings,
shamings, expressions of indignation, accusations, complaints, apologies,
etc.). The papers will examine how these activities unfold, taking into
account the styles and repertoires (Luckmann 1997) of the communicative
settings examined, and the values that are transmitted and contested.

Contributions from (im)politeness theory, interactional sociolinguistics,
ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, and discourse analysis are
particularly welcome.
