Abstract:

What role do material objects play in the in-situ, embodied and spatial
circumstances of interaction? How do people organize their embodied conduct
with regard to such objects, and how is this consequential in and for their
work practices? In this volume, contributors focus on these questions in terms
of connections between ongoing courses of interaction within work practices,
object materiality and mobility in space, bodily movement and manipulation of
objects, and language. The chapters in this book address a broad range of
settings and actions (including dressmaking, foreign language teaching,
international business meetings and forklift driving) where a variety of
objects become relevant.
